This was one of the most welcoming capitol building that I've been to in the United States. It invites the community in and has a range of historic exhibits, arts, and exhibitions that share different parts of Utah. You can roam the halls and take in the glory of the architecture. The security welcomes you in for a visit. Go for at least a few hours your first time. We loved the Utah movies, some of the exhibits about indigenous peoples within Utah, some focus on Mormonism, and the different areas that shared how the capital was built with all Utah-based materials and firms. Great views inside and outside the Capitol. We were delighted to see that it was picture taking time for prom night and all the high school students in their best dress. There are probably some places where the history could be bolstered to tell more about the tensions that relate

It is under repair in some areas but we were able to get in and walk around. This is a beautiful Capitol building with so much to see. It was very informative, so interesting to see how many movies have used Utah as there film location. So much history with visuals. Beautiful art work and magnificent history. Beautiful landscapes. You could spend many air conditioned hours here learning and absorbing Utah’s history

The free tour is a great way to learn about Utah history and even goes a couple places that aren’t accessible to the general public. The building has numerous murals, exhibits and a few statues that educate visitors on state history. The architecture of the building and the earthquake supports in the lower level were quite interesting to learn about.

The capitol building sits on top of a hill overlooking the city. Upon entry we were surprised there was no security check as other state capitol buildings. The inside has many sculptures and artwork. Take time to go in the visitors center.

I guess this is an important landmark for Utahans because it’s the first place my cousin took me during my visit to Salt Lake. The building was under construction but it was still beautiful, nonetheless. The parking is free as most have noted. The view over the canyons (my definition) was beautiful. There was a fire at one part of the mountain when I was visiting and you can see it. She also pointed to Antelope islands area so yeah, you can see the land mass across the outside of the city. As for inside, it is a small building but beautiful. Many artifacts and historian information along with statutes that shows how proud Utahans are of their State. I suggest visiting while you are there.
