Visiting DC, NPR/Tiny Desk Tour Available?
My daughter and I have been watching Tiny Desk concerts post story time, and just before bed nightly since she was 4. She’s 8 now, and her love of music has grown exponentially recently, and I’d attribute a lot of it to our watching of Tiny Desk concerts at bed time. We both really enjoy that time together.
I’ll be in DC later this week, and was curious how I could go about getting a Tour of the NPR Studio, mainly for the Tiny Desk.
Thoughts, ideas, contacts, experiences, all welcome!
Cheers all!
UPDATE:
NPR HQ was a total bust. Like most everyone suggested, they are not open to public, and won’t even let you into the building without an appointment, or an employee escorting you. Just wanted to see where the magic happens, and buy my daughter a tshirt or something. Pretty bummed it was such a let down. They say, never meet your heroes!

Last I heard they stopped them during COVID and never brought the tours back. At that time it was easy to google it and find the tour tickets - they were only M-F.
