We are pleased to announce that we are again offering free guided tours of the Capitol, beginning June 16, 2021. 

These tours take about an hour and include a trip to the dome observation area. The dome is a 99-step climb above the 3rd floor and is accessible by stairs only. If you are not able to make the climb, we offer a video presentation of the dome on the third floor.  (Self-guided tours of the dome are not permitted.)

The Capitol is open Monday-Friday, 7:30-5:00. Daily tours will be available at 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m.  Capitol tours are limited to 15 people, first come first serve.

Please note our tour schedule is subject to change.  We recommend that you call on the day of your visit for updated tour information. You can reach us at 303-866-2604.
