The Visitor Center is open Monday through Friday 10:00 am - 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm, by reservation only. Reservations must be made at least 12 hours in advance. Please DO NOT arrive more than 5 minutes prior to your reserved time slot.

We are closed Saturday, Sunday, U.S. holidays, and very rarely for private events. We strive to list all office closures below but as you know sometimes things happen.

VISITING OPTIONS

Joining us in the Visitor Center and completing the HQ GeoTour are totally free! As a working office, we do not give tours of our office spaces. We recommend reading our basic Things To Know page before coming to HQ. It'll give you information about our location, parking, and what to expect.
