Cement blocks look like cement blocks no matter what style of architecture they are used in. The Capitol grounds are barely maintained and not well planned, the interior of the main Capitol building has some of the cheapest looking low quallity granite on the planet and there is a mildew smell that never seems to go away. Ugly. More

I played tourist with a visiting out-of-state friend. We found the capital very welcoming. I've visited other capitals that were cold and uninviting. The Oklahoma capital really captures a feeling of all Oklahomans and its history. I highly recommend the self-walking tour. Get the free brochure in the gift shop. The guided walking tours are hard to hear due to... More

Take the guided tour if you can. It adds a great deal to the experience. There have been news articles about the maintenance not being kept up but it is still a beautiful building and interesting to experience. More

Go when people are working there, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Great murals, an exhibit of Oklahoma art on the first floor. More

It is a beautiful building with lots of history and lots of historical records built right into the walls and exterior. No guide or interpretor needed for most of the visit... but the tour is pretty good if you have the time and patience. :) Will go again, just to have a review and up close look at the building...

This is our 2nd visit to the Oklahoma State Capitol in Oklahoma City, OK. We went in 2007 and took a wonderful guided tour and learned so much about the wall murals and why the inside of the dome in painted the colors it is – to look like the state flower! This time we did a self-guided tour. I... More

The art and architecture were amazing. I've been to several state capitols and this is one of the best. Camera and walking shoes are a must. Oklahoma City doesn't promote Capitol nearly enough. We were shocked how nice it is when it was so little promoted. Catch a tour at Visitors Center in basement. Gift shop has wide selection. Oklahoma... More
