Hill Day schedule builder

By Stan MurzynUpdated November 9, 2026

Pick who you're meeting. I add their buildings and rooms, group the meetings by building and add walking and security time. Or skip the members and click buildings on the map for a quick walking route.

Quick walking route

Click buildings in the order you'll go. Each click adds a stop to your itinerary above. Come back to a building as often as you like. Members are optional.

The Visitor Center sits beneath the Capitol's east plaza. Positions follow the Architect of the Capitol's building pages.

Walking times, minutes

Where the numbers come from

Official: Russell is 760 feet from the Capitol by tunnel, and Hart is 1,600 feet, under two minutes by subway (senate.gov). The Senate subway runs weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. with escorted visitors (Architect of the Capitol).
Every other walking time is my estimate, one fixed sheet at a normal pace. The walking time on the map is walking only. Going between two offices in one building is 5 minutes.
The schedule adds a fixed 15 minutes of security each time you enter a building. No official page gives a figure.

Hill Day itinerary

How do I book Hill Day meetings?

Contact each member's office. The House's visitor page says to arrange a meeting that way. Enter the times each office confirms here. My Hill Day planning guide covers the rest.

How long does it take to walk between buildings?

No official page gives walking times. Senate.gov gives two distances: Russell is 760 feet from the Capitol by tunnel, and Hart is 1,600 feet. The rest of the sheet is my planning estimate.

When are the buildings open?

Capitol Police list the House office buildings as open Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (the Rayburn Horseshoe Door closes at 6:30 p.m.). The Senate office buildings are open Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. in session and 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. out of session. The Capitol Visitor Center is open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Saturday, with the last tour at 3:20 p.m. Visitors with official business appointments may enter it from 7:15 a.m. Last checked November 9, 2026: Capitol Police, Visitor Center.
