Did you know you could visit the Capitol 24x7? So say it is 11 PM on a random Tuesday and you have out of town guests visiting. You are done with dinner and looking for fun. Drive them up to the…

The State Capitol tour was excellent, where else can you learn about Texas, it's independence and the scene for the Spy Kids movie?

This was the first thing I did when I came to Austin. How can you resist going to the Capitol when you see this tall, beautiful, easy to recognize building everywhere you walk in downtown? The garden…

The star inside the top of the rotunda dome is 8 feet wide. A scene from Spy Kids 2 was filmed in the outdoor rotunda. The capitol building is made of "sunset" granite, quarried 50 miles from…

I love the capital of Texas (Austin) and I love the capitol (building) tour. If anyone would like to enlighten me on why these are spelled differently, please do! But, I digress. The tour is awesome.…

Hushed tones met with tired stares from security made me and Brad W all the giddier as we sauntered over here after seeing TEXAS: The Big Picture (on IMAX, of course), and after learning that our…

Make sure you go down to the basement of the original building. In the wings are hung enormous composite pictures of legislatures past. Each congressman gets an oval photograph with his name and…

Talking about site seeing at Austin, this is a must go place! We spend there for a couple of hours with the guided tour, and it was nice. I highly recommend this place for touring Austin.

Another must-see site is the Texas state capitol. The dome is really nice - there's the lone star you can see at the top of the dome when you stand inside. They take you on a guided tour, which is…
