The White House will open its historic gardens to the public on Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, 2026. Visitors can walk through the South Lawn, the Rose Garden, and the Kitchen Garden to see the spring flowers in bloom.
The tours are free, but every visitor needs a ticket to enter. The National Park Service will hand out timed tickets each morning starting at 8:30 AM at the White House Visitor Center on a first-come, first-served basis.
Security will be strict, and many common items are banned from the grounds. You cannot bring backpacks, tablets, signs, or metal water bottles, but you are allowed to bring strollers, wheelchairs, and standard cameras.
