Experience the holiday decorations at the Illinois Governor's Mansion.
Governor JB and First Lady MK Pritzker are proud to open the doors of the People’s House to you.
Your tour is led by a trained IDNR interpreter who brings deep knowledge and vivid storytelling to every room. All tours are guide-led.
The Illinois Governor's Mansion will offer guided tours to see the holiday decorations on select Wednesday evenings (December 9, December 16, December 23) and Saturday and Sunday afternoons (Nov 28 & 29, Dec 5 & 6, Dec 12 & 13, Dec 19 & 20). On these days, guided 30-minute experiences will be offered for guests to see the Mansion's holiday decorations. This is not a traditional, one-hour history tour.
Reservations are required for all visitors and are free of charge. All guest names must be provided at the time of booking.
Please arrive 5–10 minutes early. An interpreter will greet you at the Jackson Street gate (north side of the Mansion, between 4th and 5th Streets).
Tours must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.
