Wht a Beautiful Place.... John Lewis Awakening was in this building... it was so nice history Ill never forget....

My first visit to the Georgia Capitol Building was on a beautiful day, to honor, and pay respects to one of the original Freedom Riders, who were integral in the fight for Civil Rights in the United States. John R. Lewis. The Boy from Troy, a Son of the South whose fight for equality fortunately and sadly never ended.

Very calm and well manicured part of the city. The gold roof is a signature of the city. There is absolutely no parking so take an Uber or Marta. There is a Marta station close by.

I was there on a detail, seemed fine though it is blocked off to vehicle traffic.

Absolutely beautiful building! The outer dome is beautiful, and inside is quite sophisticated. The interior rotunda and rooms give off very southern manor vibes. The tall columns, crown molding, and marble staircases are quite stately.

I am blessed to have these memories. RIP ! Congressman John Lewis

Great place to enjoy a fresh breeze of justice and freedom

We have a beautiful Capitol. Wonderful history. There is a museum on the top floor. Security measures are in place, so check the website before you go. Easy parking, unless the legislature is in session.

This building effects all of Georgia and it is were you can meet your legislators. If you have time there are great displays on the fourth floor. Also you can see all sorts of cool events and groups during session!

Closed on Saturday. Only visited the State Capital from outside.

Beautiful building and informative displays on the upper floor.

It was an honor to honor Brother and Congressman John Lewis.

Repleat with Indiana limestone and garnished with beautiful Georgia marble this capitol dazzles with simplicity, and authenticity. Without exorbitant glitz the historic presence of Georgia is on display as typical of th he grand state of Georgia stands to represent the citizens the people who make Geogia stand with wisdom , justice and moderation.

History at its finest.

Average experience. Nice outside but the inside was under construction. Also, the Senate and House of Representatives galleries were closed when I was there. I took pictures though the window but it wasnt the same. Museum was small but interesting. I would go only if it was your first time to Atlanta. The gift shop was also closed which was weird because it was a Friday afternoon at 1 P.M. They closed early without telling the capital people which caused me to walk across the street for nothing. Disappointing experience compared to other capital buildings like Denver CO.

Beautiful gold capped building looks great!

Beautiful capitol building with lovely surrounding grounds. Can be tough to park close by, but that is to be expected.

Farewell to Congressman John Lewis!

Rip john lewis man

Office closed due to covid

This beautiful gold building is the Georgia State Capitol located in downtown Atlanta. It was built in 1889. Like many State Capitols and City Halls, this building too was designed to resemble the Neoclassical architectural style of the United States Capitol, in Washington, D.C.The gold dome was gilded with native gold leaf from near Dahlonega in Lumpkin County, where the first American gold rush occurred during the 1830s. The interior represents the 19th-century style and was among the earliest buildings to have elevators, centralized steam heat, and combination gas and electric lights. Classical pilasters and oak paneling are used throughout the building. The floors of the interior are marble from Pickens County, which still produces marble today.

Typical US state capitols; difference in Atlanta is that on weekends lot of homeless and not very friendly people around; wont consider it safe on late evenings.

Awesome!Lovely building downtown.There are historic portraits throughout, as well as busts and statues.

Must see️

Wonderfull, i like visiting the place while the governor & senators are doing their jobs there at the same time .

Really beautiful building!

Been a long time since Ive been inside (went on a field trip as a kid). From what I recall it was amazing and Im sure it still is.

Great historical placeBosnians day

I love the dome...not so much the Gordon statue.

Georgia has always been a con artist from my point of view ...Move there if you wanna , I bet youll regret .Forget yall , Im in Kansas getting the help I deserve.

Fun place to visit to see the state government in action and see some history.

Great free place to visit to learn about the history of GA. There are displays about the Civil War, Civil Rights, and the geology of GA. Architecture is amazing. Do keep in mind that it is a state capital building, so they look through your stuff like in the airport. It seems to be in a safe area and near a metro station.

Hellos Peoples of Atalant i am Senegaleis but i am liking job in Atlanta but i get not visa help me get a visa

Went on a self-guided tour. It was recommended to begin on the fourth floor and work our way down. The hallways are filled with glass cases showing aspects of Georgias past, growth, government, and state features. There is a smaller version of Lady Freedom within the building if your camera cant get a good shot of her at the top of the golden dome.

I participated in the capitols page program. It was such an interesting experience. I would advise anyone to come here, under any circumstances, to gain an understanding of democracy on a local level.

The Georgia State Capitol is a beautiful building that is very accessible to the citizens of Georgia. It has great stairways and hallways and you can talk to your Representative and/or Senator on most days when they are in session (The Session is 40 Days Long and is January through March).

Educational, interesting, and friendly employees.We visited the Capitol building on a Friday afternoon in January when there was nothing major going on. We parked a couple of blocks away in the Underground Atlanta garage and paid $12 for 2 hours.We had read the self-guided tour pamphlet before arriving, and we wandered around at our own pace.The person working inside the front office section of the Governor’s Office beckoned us inside and allowed us to go see inside the ceremonial office with its various mementos. She was very gracious, and the spaces had some interesting artwork and display items. We went into both the House chamber and the Senate Chamber and looked around a bit. Artwork throughout was enjoyable to see. The fourth floor museum display cases were interesting. My children (7 & 9) were ready to be done after a short time, but they learned something!Bring your government issued IDs and leave your pocketknives/multitools at home.

R I P John Lewis

What a great place to visit! This place is packed with history! A great place to come with your family especially if you have children.

Free Georgia history museum on the top floor.

If you like the political process and enjoy historical things, you will enjoy going here. It does have historical displays located in many places. The architecture is beautiful as well.

Didnt go in Ive always seen the gold plated dome from a distance and wanted to get a close look.

My childs class visited the capitol and i believe that should hire younger ppl to help the kids enjoy the visits. We have to help these kids and get them excited about learning something new!

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum an villainy. After all, it is a legislature.That said, its publicly accessible. No appointment needed. Just bring a photo ID. Theres a museum on the top floor. Parking nearby is expensive, but not bad for downtown Atlanta. Staff are friendly. Legislators are superfluous.

Peace to you. Lovely architecture, open and friendly staff, and lots of cool GA history. Both congressiobal houses can be viewed during regular hours, and you get to sign the governors guestbook

Went to see the new Martin Luther King Jr. statue and it was very nicely done. The artist did a great job.

Lovely building downtown. Took a self-guided tour. Staff knowledgeable and helpful.

Beautiful building with a nice free guided tour on Presidents Day. Extensive exhibits upstairs that will take 1-2 hours to go through.

There was a large population of homeless living near the capitol

Work here. Great place. Good and gift shops. Great displays.

Couldnt see inside the building as photocopies of our passports were not accepted. Had to be the original documents. As long as you remember this should be ok. The building is impressive.

Reproductive rights are human rights. HB 481 is unconstitutional.

Cool place to visit. A little hard to park.and get in but nice once you get in.

It is a beautiful building. It is a shame it is wasted on politics and politicians. Seems like we should reserve this building for school children and put the politicians in their schools for some very needful education. Seems like a much better use of the space. :-)

I loved my experience here. Incorporating my non profit was so easy. Davincia was a sweetheart

Georgia has a nice capitol. Most of those elected are good people and are easily accessible. Just go knock on a door.

Thank you for the fabulous experience to come in and see the capitol and the history of Georgia!And it‘s for FREE!

Great experience. Took my class. So much to learn and see.

Beautiful capitol building, well worth a visit/

Be sure to visit the museum to see the two headed cow and see a bit about what makes Georgia so great.

I give a 3 because the political parties and systems have gone way out of control with our free county. Which I feel we arent free because the voters dont rally to stop the gov. From inslaving all of us Americans in our own free county that shouldnt be under federal control and needs to kiss our voter butts.

Awesome visit really enjoyed saw a lot interesting portraits of different famous people Martin Luther King Jr. For one

Very interesting to take the tour and see what goes on in the state capitol.

Grifters gonna grift.

Stars are for the historical value of a field trip - vital that young people understand the role of the building and its inhabitants...

Great place to see Georgia history. Everyone was very hospitable. The governor even waved at us!

The museum on the 4th floor was interesting and was overall a great place to visit.

Beautiful portraits with Roman empire type architecture. Great place for visitors

Went there on a field trip w my school. I liked it a lot, very interesting.

Was late at night, but the outside was beautiful. Lovely evening stroll.

Its so amazing its like the only building that has gold other then Mexico city

So disappointing... I havent been inside the Capitol building in yrs, wanted my granddaughter to see the museum, its not there anymore, only parts of it remain, and it was not as interesting as when I was a child.

A great place to go and enjoy the history. Love seeing senator Harper and secertary of state kemp when I go.

Lovely building with a museum on the upper floors. There are historic portraits throughout, as well as busts and statues.

Great free place to visit to learn about the history of GA. There are displays about the Civil War, Civil Rights, and the geology of GA. Architecture is amazing. Do keep in mind that it is a state capital building, so they look through your stuff like in the airport.

A Beautiful place that should be on Georgians must-see list. It takes about 40 minutes to tour fully.

Amazing. So beautiful and watching them vote is even more amazing.

Cool place to visit once. Lots of history and information about the state if GA

As long as u know what ure in search of the experience is good

Take a tour and place close attention to the 3rd and 4th floors. Amazing artifacts.

Great architecture, but a slow tour that got boring after awhile.

Beautiful!

Enjoyed the tours and the artifacts. Great place to take students!

The gold dome is a big part of what makes Atlanta a great city.

I learned a lot at that place even the governer Waved at my class. 2010-2019

A real historical place it has a lot of history with in its exterior walls. Most of the building is made of the original material that built it in the beginning. This is were a lot of the government and thing exspecialy involving the governor takes place at for the state of Georgia.

Nice place, you can see live action in the assembly

Simply Beautiful!

Nice place, yet I was not amazed by the building.

Best time to visit is when the Legislature is in session.

The Martin Luther King Statue, is the only statue of a African American and its on the back side of the capitol building. Hmmm?

Beautiful and historic building.

One of the youngest state capitols of America its build in 1889 after the Civil War and the Reconstruction Era.

The MLK JR Statue is AWESOME!

I love visiting State Capitols, & I loved visiting this one, too.

The building is rich with history.

I went there for Recovery speaking in the capital it was awesome experience I went with the Hope House girls

I loved when i was kid every one should visit

Unfortunately it is not user friendly. They could do a much better job of helping citizens visit their capital.

A great museum and welcoming atmosphere.
