This is a beautiful building with all types of stone and wood decorations. There is a good tour about the history of the building that points out the key rooms - governor's office, and the legislative chambers. They also allow people up in the dome (reservations may be required, but they didn't enforce that the day I was there) which... more

I always try to visit the capitol buildings of capital cities and I was happy to visit Colorado's hub. I did not take the guided tour so I cannot speak to the quality of the tours or the merit of any money spent. What I did discover is that a great deal can be seen, culled and learned from walking... more

I had toured the capitol building 9-10 years ago without a reservation. Travelers now should know that they have renovated the dome and you absolutely must book a tour in advance!! Especially if you go at a time when schoolkids are likely to be touring. There are separate dome tours, so you don't need to tour the whole building. more

I live just north of Denver and my wife and I decided to take some relatives to the capitol. Definitely worth the time to do this. The Colorado State Capitol is modeled on the National Capitol in DC, and is a smaller version of essentially the same structure. In summer, you will find students performing the tour guidance, and if... more

This capitol building is amazing! It is one of only like 8 in the country with a gold dome! When I called they said they had historical tours or legislative tours of the capitol, each 45 min and you could do both. We didn't think our kids could handle 1 1/2 hrs of tours so we opted to do the... more
