National Archives' New Online Reservation System

By , About.com GuideNovember 11, 2009

Follow me on:

The National Archives has just launched a new online reservation system to make it easier for individuals, families, and large groups to visit. By visiting www.recreation.gov, visitors can reserve their choice of dates and times in a matter of minutes. While reservations are not required to visit the National Archives and admission is free, this new system will eliminate the long lines and often lengthy wait.

Advance reservations will allow visitors to avoid the exterior portion of the line to see the Charters of Freedom during the height of the tourist season (mid-March through Labor Day) and during holiday seasons such as the weeks of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. The convenience fee for online reservations is $1.50 per person and admission to all of the National Archives Experience exhibits is free.
