Iowa State Capitol

Centrally located in Des Moines Iowa, the Iowa State Capitol building is a beautiful historic site that visitors come from far and wide to see. The gold-domed building, symbolic of the city’s rich history, is a lens into the state’s diverse past. From the hill upon which the capitol building sits, you can enjoy magnificent views of downtown Des Moines. Within the building, visitors are treated to glimpses of the Iowa State Senate, the Iowa House of Representatives, the Iowa Supreme Court, and other significant office spaces. In addition to the important offices the Capitol houses, the building’s architecture is a sight to be seen. It also houses many interesting historical artifacts specific to IA and many clever exhibits. Tours of the Iowa State Capitol are self-guided, but reservations must be made. Following your tour of the Capitol, it’s enjoyable to stroll downtown for a bite to eat and shopping. We highly recommend visiting this historical pillar when visiting the Hawkeye State.
