For the rest of this year it is
December 3 Saturday M-Z

11 Sunday M-Z
17 Saturday M-Z
18 Sunday A-L
24 Saturday A-L

31 Saturday M-Z
For next year one could guess the sequence but probably safer to phone and check.
I picked up a 2005 schedule when I visited today.
Parking...park as soon as you can in the visitors lot. Directions to visiting are not obvious but its essentially in front of you before you turn right into the parking lot. You have to walk some distance so be prepared if it is cold.
First visit you have to fill out 2 forms. Otherwise just one.
You need one id + 1 photo id (although in my case they only asked for the latter).
You need your social security number and if you came by car and parked, the license plate details.
You can only take money and your id in with you..the rest has to go in a locker before you sign in....for which you will need a quarter.
The processing of visitors ends a 3pm.The restrictions on week-ends....ie saturday vs sunday do not apply if ypu are a family member who has travelled more than 250 miles to visit.
No prior approval is necessary.
thanks titanoo for the info!
If you have any additional information, you can PM Mrs G.- and it will be added accordingly
