One can join a tour given be a Capitol tour guide that lasts about 45 minutes or tour it by yourself with a map of the building. Both have their advantages! Take time to enjoy the murals and art work. Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to be in the building when students are presenting a musical presentation for a meeting,... More

We took our granddaughters to see the capitol building and had a guided tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the state and building and seemed to thoroughly enjoy sharing the information. We're glad we took the tour rather than trying to seeing it on our own. The building is beautiful and a must-see when in the... More

I love to visit this beautiful building! The underground parking is wonderful (if you can find it)! The constuction makes the journey more of an adventure. The architecture is wonderful and the art is lovely! I don't usually take the time for the tour, but it is very good. The is no cost to enter since it is a public... More

Our tour guide was great! Even sang during the tour. One of the prettiest Capitol we have been to. Only open on Mon-Fri though so you need to plan your trip accordingly.

The tour guide did an outstanding job on the tour. Tour lasted 1 hours and 45 minutes. The stencils throughout were very nice. On our tour was some relatives of one of the artists who has paintings displayed in the building. Rode on a really old elevator that required a person to run it. That was very neat! 8 Murals... More

The interior viewing areas (except the dome) are now open for observation. Access is a pain as most of the doors are unavailable for public entry and the ones that are open have limited/inconvenient public parking nearby. IF nothing else the scaffolding and roof repairs provide an interesting view of a classic dome/building not often seen. Don't worry about missing... More

Since I work just across the street from the Capitol, I'm there all the time, but in case you've never stopped by or looking for a place to visit when you're in Topeka, you've gotta stop here. The murals are fantastic, the labyrinth of tunnels in the basement, the tunnel to Docking underneath Harrison Street, the old open-air elevator the... More

I was able to sit in on a open Senate session to receive a declaration in honor of my Alma Mater being 125. Seeing government in action was an honor (how can I not vote now?). We also enjoyed a tour of the beautiful structure and art. The history of it all is striking and interesting. I encourage visitors interested... More

Do not miss the stop and free parking on the north side for free. They are under construction but do not miss out
