Standby List

You may sign up on this list on a walk-up basis at the Texas Union Hospitality
Center starting one hour before a scheduled tour.
Guidelines
These are escorted tours which last slightly less than an hour, with 35 minutes
spent on the Observation deck. You won't need anything on the Deck besides
a ticket-except perhaps a camera, binoculars or video recorder. You are asked
to leave behind everything else, including purses, camera bags, fanny packs,
and diaper bags. If you do not want to leave these items in your vehicle,
you can rent a locker at The Texas Union for $1.00. Due to safety concerns,
umbrellas are not permitted on the tour. Please see
the complete Tour Guidelines, available at the Union Hospitality Center, for
further details.
