Reviews
"Beautiful building with lots of History. We enjoyed the tour today. Thank you to the staff. Very professional and friendly."
"We arrived a few minutes after a tour had already started, but they said to just walk up and join them. So happy we did. Diane, our guide was very informative and had many stories to tell. She is very approachable and was very happy to answer all our questions."
"Really awesome building and cool history. Super iconic and really beautiful up close and far away with its gold dome. Really cool other art and statues nearby to check out as well"
"We visited here from Louisiana and this tour was the best! We learned so much about Iowa's history from the hour tour of the capital building and loved every minute of it. My youngest daughter and I went back a 2nd time on a different day simply to see it once again since it was so neat the first time after we took the tour and learned about the building. The 2nd time we wondered alone and took our own time to view and take pictures of things. We went all the way to the top. On the tour we climbed all the stairs and I realized how out of shape I was on the way up since I had to stop a rest halfway up the stairs going to the top of the tower. The library was one of our favorite rooms but the entire building was so rich with history. If you have the opportunity to check out this place out, don't skip it, it's a must see in my opinion and a great free tour! The gift shop was small but was one of the best in town and we got almost all of our souvenirs for our family back home there. I swear I bought the cutest Keychain in all of Des Moines here too!"
"Wow, another place that really is as good as the reviews say. The 4.8 star rating is totally justified. The free tour is amazing. They give a 90 minute tour of most of the building including the old high court room, the parliamentary room, law library and right up to the top of inside the dome, the accurately-named Whispering Floor. The guide was really friendly and answered everyone's strange and obscure questions. The restrooms are clean and tidy and the gift shop is actually well-priced!!"
