It was amazing ! The biggest state capital and only 2nd to the US national capital ! The main attraction in the city , most definately. You can go inside and walk around. It has portaits of all the governors of Texas . Inside you will find 4 levels . It is huge !

This is the most beautiful building in Texas, if you ask me. We went on a Sunday morning and there were no crowds, which was perfect. We took tons of photos and enjoyed the friendly security guard. Definitely a must-see.

Having worked there for 6 years and now living in DC, I love the fact that the TX capitol is soooo accessible to the public. You walk in, you walk around, you go watch hearings, you walk onto the floor of the House and senate and into the galleries, all without being stopped and told, "you can't go there." Try doing that in the US Capitol. You can't! Its a beautiful building and Texans should be proud that their legislature is truly theirs, and not some inaccessible, secret place.

I loved my visit to the Austin state Capitol! It provided several great photo ops as well as a look into the working of the Texas state government. It didn't hurt that it was free either!

Not the most interesting State Capitol I've been to, the building seems somewhat lacking in history. Which I find odd in a 120 year-old building. The tour guide was really going through the motions. As a Yankee, I found it very uncomfortable to notice the Creed of the Children of the Confederacy plaque in the Rotunda, especially after reading the monument to those killed in the War of Northern Aggression on the grounds.

This experience was great for the whole family. It was wonderful to learn and see so much of Texas history. The Capitol is beautiful and a great activity for Austin visitors or residents.
