Kansas State Capitol Building, Topeka

Loved how much of the capitol building is completely open to the public. The dome tour was awesome and gives a great view of Topeka. Don't go on the dome tour if you have a fear of heights. The legislature and supreme court we're not in session and since it was a week day I was able to go into the Senate chamber, house of representatives chamber, supreme court room, and state library. Riding the old cage elevator was an awesome experience guaranteed by an old state law. Security was very friendly and welcoming as we went through the metal detectors to enter the building. Visitor parking underground very ample and signage in the parking garage was very easy to understand and plenty of it. Fit my 15 passages van. Maximum height in visitor parking is 8' 3". Every Kansas resident should visit at least once!

We took the dome tour. One child went all the way to the top and didn't regret it. Another child didn't go all the way to the top and didn't regret it. We all left happy. And hot. Expect the heat if you tour on a summer afternoon. A beautiful and historic building with many features.

The Capitol building is beautiful. Practically empty today. You can visit the courtroom where Brown v Board of Education was heard. The building was spotless. The grounds are attractive and well maintained.

Dome tour was a thrilling experience. Not for the faint of heart! So glad to have shared this experience with my son. Apparently it is the only state capital in the nation where tours go outside the very top of the dome!

My daughter loved going here in 5th grade! The spiral statue case to the top is so neat! The glass floor in the library is fun! Gift shop and restrooms. We did this in summer heat time to visit. Not crowded at all!
