Very enjoyable. The tour guide took her time to give us historic history. She took her time and did not rush us. The interior of the State Capital is breath taking. We even got to go all the way to the top of the dome and outside of it. Worth the free tour!

This was interesting in that they tell you the details of how/when it was built and where much of the stone was resourced from (shocker - Colorado), show you some beautiful rooms and answer all your questions. There is an elevator to the 3rd floor if needed, but then you must be able to go upstairs. The final climb takes you to the dome and if you are w a tour, they open the doors and you can walk around the outside at the top! Very cool and great for photos.

We saw the building from many streets when walking. Its position, many columns, golden top and flags telling everybody this is govermnental place. From the front you can see Rockies in the distance, Denver City Council building (also impressive one), Lincoln Veterans Memorial park and tall brown obelisk. On the stairs you can find mile high marker.

We missed the tour, but got to see the House and Senate on our own. We scheduled to go up to the dome, but a fire alarm changed that plan. Still, it was nice to know that a dome tour is an option, since one cannot enter on their own.

The Colorado State Capitol building is a gorgeous blend of magnificent architecture, history, and art. We arrived early for the first tour of the day, and after securing our tour time, we wandered through the building on our own. The tour desk staff were all friendly and welcoming; it's obvious that they enjoy sharing both their beautiful building and their state. Our tour guide was enthusiastic and informative; she did not rush us, giving everyone on the full tour an opportunity to see and hear. All of the spaces in the building are worth seeing. We had planned to drop out of the tour without going up to the dome (a little concerned that the steps might be too much for our older bodies), but we made it to the top just fine and enjoyed the attic exhibits, a look at the inner dome, and sunny views of the city outside the dome. The capitol building is a perfect blend of granite, marble, onyx, wood, and brass with a striking gold dome. It is a feast for the eyes and is certainly worth the time to visit. Parking and entering the building was a little confusing, but we managed. We parked at an all-day parking lot between Logan St. and Grant St. (Grant was undergoing new paving.) The $10 fee was not cheap, but since the tour was free, we chalked it up to an expense of the experience. The sidewalks were a bit of a challenge, and we wondered how to enter the building (up the steps or under the steps), but after seeing others exit at the top of the steps, we went up and were quickly through security. Some signage would definitely be a help.

This place is gorgeous, inside & out. Free tours M-F from 10-3. We showed up & were told that the main tour was full (& another would occur in an hour) or we could take the "dome" tour in 30 minutes & then wander around ourselves on the other floors. The docents were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, particularly the young man with glasses who gave us our stickers! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a 360 view of Denver. Just beautiful. You'll take a somewhat steep stairwell (maybe 100 steps) up to the dome, but even though I'm afraid of heights, there was plenty of room outside & I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The remaining floors on the way down had things like portraits of the presidents and gorgeous chambers for the House & the Senate. Well worth stopping in!

If you're in the capitol area, I highly recommend a visit here. They offer free guided tours Monday - Friday at certain times of the day, or alternatively you can self-guide for free whilst the building is open. I spent just over an hour here - the building interior is beautiful!

We went here to get a picture of the mile high step, and ended up walking around the whole area. It is very scenic and pretty. Then we walked to the art museum to see the sculptures. It is worth checking out once, but there isn't too much in the way of eateries or bars in the area.

Took the self guided tour. Great architecture, very impressive building. Saw the Senate and House of Representatives. Only negative is that the website said main entrance was closed, use south entrance under the stairs. Need to update.
