Visitors are encouraged to review the following important guidelines before arrival:
- Arrive no more than 15 minutes before your scheduled visit to facilitate timely security checks.
- Bring valid government-issued photo identification; failure to present ID will result in denial of entry.

Recommendations for Visitors to Prepare for the Return of In Person Visits
