Texas Capitol Visitors Center - Austin (TX)

5 /5 Sorna Chocks: We went on a Sunday, the free tours start from 12:30PM it was informative. The building has so much history, it is well maintained and cleaned, we loved it. Got a chance to see the courtroom, library and assembly! Perfect photoshoot location! The parking garage is very close to the building, it was free on Sunday.

4 /5 Ralph Kitts: Nice place to walk around outside and see the statues and memorials. Inside the Capitol, you can visit the library and see where meetings are held. The central atrium is cool to see. Had to park several blocks away, though. Didnt see any free parking.

5 /5 Auda Gee: In all my years of living in Austin and visiting Austin, not once did I realize the visitor center inside the Capitoll is just a satellite branch.. The real visitor center is just a few steps away from the Capitol. It’s two stories of goodness. Well done. You can do a self-guided tour with QR codes on your phone, or just walk around and look at everything (it’ll take a minute). There’s a couple of short films to watch and so much interesting information to read. As a fourth generation Texan, I’m a little embarrassed of how much I learned. And a whole lot embarrassed how much I spent in the gift shop. Do not pass it up. It’s not cheesy items - but high quality jewelry, gifts, maps, food, drink and everything in between. Friendly staff and it was free! Closest parking is the garage on 12th Street and San Jacinto.

5 /5 Aspros NoGeminis: It was great to see the history in the visitor center and also purchase some gifts related to the capitol and state of Texas in general.
