  Great free place to visit to learn about the history of GA. There are displays about the Civil War, Civil Rights, and the geology of GA. Architecture is amazing. Do keep in mind that it is a state capital building, so they look through your stuff like in the airport. It seems to be in a safe area and near a metro station.

  We have a beautiful Capitol. Wonderful history. There is a museum on the top floor. Security measures are in place, so check the website before you go. Easy parking, unless the legislature is in session.

  I participated in the capitol's page program. It was such an interesting experience. I would advise anyone to come here, under any circumstances, to gain an understanding of democracy on a local level.

  The Georgia State Capitol is a beautiful building that is very accessible to the citizens of Georgia. It has great stairways and hallways and you can talk to your Representative and/or Senator on most days when they are in session (The Session is 40 Days Long and is January through March).

  Educational, interesting, and friendly employees. We visited the Capitol building on a Friday afternoon in January when there was nothing major going on. We parked a couple of blocks away in the Underground Atlanta garage and paid $12 for 2 hours. We had read the self-guided tour pamphlet before arriving, and we wandered around at our own pace. The person working inside the front office section of the Governor’s Office beckoned us inside and allowed us to go see inside the ceremonial office with its various mementos. She was very gracious, and the spaces had some interesting artwork and display items. We went into both the House chamber and the Senate Chamber and looked around a bit. Artwork throughout was enjoyable to see. The fourth floor museum display cases were interesting. My children (7 & 9) were ready to be done after a short time, but they learned something! Bring your government issued IDs and leave your pocketknives/multitools at home.
