Wisconsin State Assembly Reviews

I love that it has tour guides and also that they let you take photos of almost anything you learn lots of history and the architecture is amazing... Rub the badgers nose if you can.

This is one of the most beautiful state capitol buildings in the USA. Walking tours are available, and highly recommended. A great place to laugh at our governor.

The striking building makes me even more surprised that I can walk into the building for free without paying the money. Whether it is good or not, this building is a good landmark, but it is also a big landmark of Madison! There will be a holiday market near the beginning of April, and there are many small shops to visit around!

Took the capitol tour and was really impressed with the staff. Then we roamed around the capitol square and then went to state street, Day well spent

Cool building, but I encounter some exhibition about political topics of China, maybe I am a little sensitive

Could do with informing the populace more on the issues at hand. Very corrupt, mostly corporate puppets. Also, why did you have to kick out all the peaceful protesters that one time?

I loved the tour i wish it was a bit longer now i know how expensive the capital is its priceless lots of history though

Very lovely building with a fascinating history. Free guided tours and you can even do a fossil hunt inside the building. Go all the way up to the observation deck to see both lakes and a great view of Madison.

The Wisconsin State Capitol is one of the most beautiful capitol buildings in the USA. Its beautiful architecture is absolutely captivating. The best way is to join in the frequent guided tours that happens every day and get to the know the various features and the history of the place. Its a building that forms an inevitable part of this nice little city's history and culture.
Around the building are sprawling parks where one can sit and relax. In the afternoons, the place is filled with great food trucks. There are free concerts during afternoons which you can enjoy over lunch.
Its a place worth spending your time and the majestic settings is a great photo op.

I looked at the Sellen And saw the poutty Art. I loved It But not The Traffic

What's not to love about our beautiful capitol building?

Was amazing! Everything was so beautiful and the people were amazing. I can't wait to visit again(:

Entering the capitol is free. It is worth visiting.

Of all the state capitols I've seen, this is the most beautifully rendered and maintained. I believe it even puts to shame the U.S. capitol, which is a bit bland and thread-worn by comparison. And at this price ... free ... you really have no excuse for not taking a tour.

Way cooler than expected. A must see for all Wisconsinites!

Great place to see. Been there on a few field trips when I was in school. Some parts you cannot get to anymore. A must see for the citizens of Wisconsin. And not just see it at protest time. I mean really tour it.

it looks cool and has a fun history

not really.

Such an Amazing Building, be sure to see the fine details that are in the building... The rooftop walk around gives a unique perspective over the city. A must do if you come to Madison

Gorgeous building with rich history - free tour is great and the views from the 4th floor are awesome

Beautiful wood and stone work!! Just love the view!!

Am unexpectedly beautiful building. I visited on a Saturday in August and there was a bustling, if extremely slowly moving, farmers market outside and an orchestral group playing some beautiful music inside. I'm glad I took the time to stop in.

Loved visiting here. And outside there was a symphony on the lawn and a lot of vendors around. Very festive!

Interesting architecture and worth walking through but unless you take the tour I wouldn't plan to be here more than a few minutes.

We had not been to Madison before, and were awestruck by the sight of the state capitol building's rotunda as we headed toward our hotel. The building is lit up at night, making the rotunda all the more impressive. It sits in the middle of an X-shape, providing doorways to the north, south, east and west. The surrounding grounds were beautiful, with huge old trees adorning expansive green lawns. Benches and built-in stone seating are everywhere, allowing passers-by to rest and enjoy the views. The building is open seven days a week. One can go in and look around at the interior of the rotunda, the huge sky lights, and over 200-plus types of stone used to create the building. Guided tours are available, although we just wandered. As you go up to ever-higher galleries, hang onto small people. The walls and railings are just tempting enough for little climbers.

The Wisconsin capitol is a beautiful building. My favorite part of it was the viewing area from on top of the dome, you can see the entire city of Madison from there. It's also a good place to learn about the history of the state.

This is probably the most beautiful state capital. Well groomed all around. Well done Wisconsin!

A beautiful building to visit. The weekend farmer's market is the best around.

The upper level rotunda overlook of the city, as well as the historical information provided, was quite an unexpected treat!

Beautiful building. I would recommend going inside. If you can go ask the way up and go outside you can see great views of the city.

Neat architecture. It's great you can still get close to it without all of the crazy security barrier at some other government buildings.

The Capitol is located in downtown Madison, literally it's a gem.

Busy streets and construction. But the sights were nice to see.

Must visit place in Madison. Apart from beautiful architecture you can see preedings of Supreme Court and Assembly house. For me it was one of kind visit to state capital.

The Wisconsin State Capitol is a beautiful building. The town and community surrounding the state capitol building is a cozy and warm home town feeling. This is crazy to me given that this is the state capitol. I love Madison. You know, other than the brutal winters. I need to take another trip to Madison during the summer or bet yet, during football season. I'm a big fan.

The Wisconsin State Capitol Building is a beautiful architectural site to see and tour anytime of the year. The rich history of the state is showcased very well throughout the grounds and building as well as the visitor center and museum.

Stunning architecture of the State's Capitol is definitely a highlight of the trip to Madison, Wisconsin.

The Capital Police are intrusive and rude. And the guy that runs the state is an idiot.

One of the more beautiful State Capitols I've visited. Stop in for a free tour and learn some history. Be sure to go up to the observation deck to check out the awesome view.

May very well be the nicest state capitol in the Union

If you have never visited Madison before this should be your first sight seeing stop. You can tour it on your own but I would recommend taking one of the guided tours as it will definitely enhance your visit. This beautiful building is a great repository of Wisconsin history. The panoramic view from the top also is not to be missed.

Beautiful building, it has green granite (at least I think it s granite). Funny it s green considering the Packers! If you re in Madison during the Holidays check out the trains.

Beautiful building, very impressive at night. The inside smells like sulfur and brimstone but that's to be expected giving the current residents.

This is a beautiful building. To bad a lot bad people are voted in here.

*Pre Pandemic Review*
Beautiful inside and out. Make sure you do the walking tour. Guide was informative and answered all questions.

Nobody is allowed to construct buildings taller than the capitol in Madison. Keeps it from having a proper city feel, which I see as a grievous problem.

I've been trying to visit all the State Capitals over the past few years and this still rates as my favorite. Architecture inside and out is stunningly designed with the arches around the dome perfectly framing views to other parts of the building. Make sure you get the tour

Taste of Madison. Mallards are the best. World Champion Trophy on display

The mayor of Wisconsin, like the little white house.

They were hoarding a meowth I couldn't get to and I'm pretty triggers about it

Beautiful space, worth spending extra time there, especially if you appreciate great architecture.

This was an unplanned, fun and educational surprise. I happened to step inside the building after picking up a few items from the farmers market outside the building. I had noticed people meandering in and out of its doors on this particular Saturday morning that was also Veterans Day.
After taking a peek at the beautiful interior, I noticed a young man at the information desk and found out a tour would take place in fifteen minutes. I thought, why not since I was already there. It turned out to be a fun, and interesting hour.
To learn of the buildings 284.4 height, 100% Bethel White granite from Vermont and that Wisconsin was considered a bread basket state prior to being known as a dairy one. The interiors marble is comprised from Greece, Algeria, Italy and France as well as other materials from other states. The dome is one of the largest by volume in the world with a beautiful painting at the top called Resources of Wisconsin. There are 100 badgers in the capital as statues, in paintings, etc.
You ll tour the Governor s Conference Room, The Supreme Court, Senate Chamber, Assembly Chamber, GAR Memorial Hearing Room and the North Hearing Room. The latter has walls that are of Italian marble. With in the walls we viewed snail fossils. Above, the skylight is made of leaded glass. Throughout the tour you will also observe original furnishings, paintings and their meanings and significance as well as the history and purpose of each room. After the tour you can take an elevator to another level, climb a short flight of stairs and step outside to view the city as well as the beautiful statues along the capitol dome.
Overall: It was worth taking time out of my busy day to gain a little history on an interesting state.Take advantage of the free, tour narration booklet for even more information.

Very cool place! Love coming in on John Nolen Drive and seeing the capitol all lit up! Take the tour of the dome!

Great landmark! politicians are only thing from giving a 5

One of the most dank looking Capitol buildings I've seen.

The Capitol s Art and Architecture Gives Great Aesthetic Pleasure - The capitol building is a marvel - built with over 40 different types of marble, great art throughout, and interiors lit by natural light. Definitely take the free tour. Afterward enjoy the downtown area. There are great nearby restaurants, small cafes, and a modern art museum. On Wednesday enjoy the Concert in Capitol Square and on Saturday morning enjoy the farmers market surrounding the capitol.

I love going here... and getting on the tours. Always things happening on the Square at the Capital.

Was fortunate enough to be here for the big spectacle that is the summer music event at the Capitol. LOTS of people watching, lots of vendors. Great vibe. It's a beautiful building

The tour was amazing and the tour guide( Adam ) is outstanding . Definitely recommend it .

Beautiful marble all over! Definitely take the tour!

Beautiful historic building!We attended my daughters, "Swearing in Ceremony to the State of WI Bar as a new Attorney@Law."Very impressive honor!We attended the ceremony in the Supreme Court Courtroom.It's open from 8a.m.-6p.m.Open to visitors,no charge.

Incredible state capital building, definitely worth a look

We got married here last year. Pretty awesome except there were protesters and it was hot as balls on the third floor. Pictures were nice though

Dome shaped at the end of State St. At other end is the University of Wisconsin Madison. Concerts on the square on Wednesday nights during the summer

Beautiful building - the tallest in Madison and without a doubt it's most iconic structure. The daily tours are informative and the history of the capitol building itself and the city are fascinating. It's beautiful when lit at night.

Building is awesome and great 1 hour tour, you'll get access to rooms, e. g. Supreme Court.

It's a beautiful building to visit.
We were there for a marriage and my only suggestion is some sort of organisation for these as there were couples all over doing the same thing a bit all over each other.

This is The Wisconsin State Capital building. Basically it is government office building. Building looking same from all the four sides. It is the excellent example of beautiful architecture. It is located in the Madison downtown. You can have guided tour also to know more about building and its architecture. Must visit places.

Amazing! So glad weade the drive out here. The architecture is amazing and very beautiful and the building is Rich in Wisconsin history. A must see even if you are only here for a few hours!

Beautiful to go look at just wish our state would save our past time jobs and help our children with schooling
