Tour the Texas Capitol Building and Visitors Center
The Capitol allows for self-guided tours of its building and grounds each day, providing visitors with an opportunity to explore at their own pace. Free brochures detailing the self-guided tour are available for pickup at both the Capitol's north entry and the Capitol Information and Guide Services Office located in Room 1S.2.
It is important to note that the Capitol is closed on major holidays, including Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Visitors are encouraged to check the hours and contact information provided for any specific inquiries.
The self-guided tours highlight crucial areas within the Capitol, offering insights into its architecture, Texas history, and the legislative process. While these tours are complimentary, visitors should be cautious of the premises, which may contain uneven floors and narrow staircases that could pose hazards. For those interested in accessibility, further information can be found on the Accessibility Services Page.
Tours originate from the South Foyer near the tour guide's office, with departures typically scheduled every 30 to 45 minutes, each lasting approximately half an hour. Special arrangements can be made by calling in advance for foreign language tours. Visitors are permitted to take photographs, although they may need to be mindful of their surroundings to avoid blocking pathways as others navigate through the area.
