Armel-Leftwich Visitor Center

The Visitor Center is the first stop on a visit to the undergraduate College of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Information Specialists welcome visitors to view the 13-minute film, The Call to Serve, and to take a guided walking or a driving GEM tour with a professional, certified guide. Tours include information on the history and architecture of the Naval Academy and a peek into the life of a midshipman.

The Visitor Center is conveniently located inside USNA Gate 1 at Prince George and Randall Streets in downtown Annapolis. Everyone 18 and older must have a photo ID. Only vehicles with USNA IDs, DoD stickers or handicapped tags may enter Naval Academy grounds. Non U.S. Citizens must show a valid passport.
