It was on her bucket list but my wife and I enjoyed this historical facility. We got to see many of the things we saw on our first visit 30 years ago. I think that they have dusted at least twice since then. More

It is just an old government building. Underground Atlanta is a few blocks away and was more interesting. There were homeless people at every corner and this place is not pedestrian friendly when you try to cross the street. More

Although I've lived in Atlanta over 20 years, this was my first visit to the Capitol. The museum has a wealth of exhibits and a very interesting scavenger hunt for the kids. The building architecture is phenomenal and the self-guided tour allows you to view at your own pace. The staff were friendly and helpful. More

My family and I have made a goal to visit all 50 United States capitols. So far we've done 31 and this was one of the worst. First, NBC was filming a program there, so there were lights, wires, sets, and all kinds of things blocked off and covered. Of what we could see, there wasn't much- a few busts... More

Our family is visiting all the state capitols, so there is perspective, as Georgia was #31. The architecture and decorative art were unimpressive, and the hagiography of governors was excessive (almost every display was about governors, most of the statues outside were of long forgotten governors--I love American History and I had not heard of any of them). There was... More

The day we went, the capital was out of session but still quite a bit of business being conducted in offices. There are natural science exhibits and art throughout the building. Quite interesting and FREE. More

Some of my favorite places to visit are state capitols, and the Georgia one did not dissapoint. While I have visited before, I had a much better time this time around. The museum tells a lot of great information about the state. Anyone visiting Atlanta with an interest in history should visit. More

Parking is a problem. The capital is not easy to get to. Grounds are well kept and displays are interesting. More
