Very beautiful building. Love the architectural design design. Love the detail work that went into the building. Worth visiting.

Very beautiful place to visit. Tour staff was welcoming and helpful, I learned a lot about the history of the Lincoln. Elevator is pretty small, but the view is grand! Would totally come again.

One of the most beautiful Capitol buildings ever seen! You are very lucky if you get a tour from Jameson

It is serving as a great landmark of the town. Since, there are not many high rises in Lincoln you can navigate to any part of the town using this tower. There is plenty of free street parking on the other side, away from the town.

The Nebraska 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.

Great capital not that many high rises in Lincoln. But if you want one go to the capital it has high rises, nice architect and nice paintings on the wall. Staff are very welcoming and nice.

The art is amazing, and I was really impressed with what they did with it. It’s not like normal capitols, most capitols are dome shaped but this goes strait up. I also like the inside. The art and engravings were just amazing. Also the tours were great. The tour guide talked about all the designs and art and gave a back story to all of it. Overall I had a good experience

We love visiting capitols and were impressed with Nebraska’s. This building has tons of character and art work, friendly staff and beautiful architecture. The view from the observation level is awesome! The tour guide had lots of information.

Its a beautiful and big place.

Very nice capital! Absolutely beautiful on the inside. Make sure to go to the observatory deck.

Beautiful building and the tour guide was excellent. Our Granddaughters loved it.

Jameson was a WONDERFUL tour guide!! He did a great job interacting with our soon to be 5th Grader who unfortunately missed out on the 4th Grade Field Trip to the Capital. So much fun and best of all Free!!

It was a random trip. We traveled to Lincoln to buy a car. Walked the streets that are lined in a perfect grid. While the tall building is a marvel, the treasure lies inside, dim light, spectacular tall beams, peerless marble work, wall murals, prefect chandeliers, the state house chambers, it has an imposing peaceful and quiet gravitas. The interplay of architecture, light and muted displays create a harmonious experience. The building is the museum. A must see.

Beautiful place, inside and out. You will see something new each time you visit.

Always a neat place to visit and my kids love it

Very cool historic building made from Indiana Limestone

Totally worth to go there.We got a really interesting, entertaining tour about the building and the history of Nebraska. Including the locked supreme court room.The tour is also suitable for children.The best thing is the 360 degree outlook on top of the tower. Everthing is put togehter very well. Simple, stable, durable and beatiful.Everything is for free.Well done, Nebraska....

One of the most beautiful state capital building in the nation. If you are passing through Lincoln, do not hesitate to stop.

Another capitol building, another stamp! We made a stop here during our return road trip.We made our way up to the observation floor and there were a couple of doors leading outside that were open (inspections were being done and some construction/repairs so some areas were inaccessible). There are some nice views and so far this is the only state capitol building we visited that allowed visitors to step outside (North Dakota use to but some unruly teens caused that practice to end). This building had a chain link fence type of cover over the gaps on the outside which is probably why they could allow folks to go out and enjoy the view.The first floor allows you to make a bit of a circuit (because of the construction we couldnt actually do a full circuit so back tracked just a bit). Theres plenty to see, even a bashful bust that hides behind a newspaper! He does have a face, I just had never seen a bust holding a paper so just had to take a photo (in a few years kids probably will need to ask what hes holding in his hands).

If youre anywhere near Lincoln, Nebraska, go see this stunning mash-up of architectural references that functions as a coherent whole. An explosion of visual ideas, an examplary case of what highly skilled craftspeople, designers, artists, and a philosopher can do together, a rich allegorical text, and a tribute to good government.

Take a day to tour a magnificent structure!

Weve been to 22 Capital Buildings; to include the Nations Capital Building in DC. We experienced each States Capital Building Guided Tour; including Washington, DC Capital Building. NEBRASKAS Capital Building is not the most elegant, expensive, or exciting...but I like it the most, so far, of the 22 Capital Buildings I have seen. Its simple, sturdy, and straight forward. Do misunderstand, it references the Native Indians, State Founding Members, State Heros, Developers, Engineers, etc... This Capital Building is set up for the Leaders to do the work for the people of this State. No post 9-11 histeria, No congestion in or around the Building... THEY HAVE A ONE BODY, UNICAMERAL, LEGISLATION. Talk about For the People - So far, Nebraska is MY favorite. We plan to see all FIFTY in the next 12 Months

Beautiful building! Be sure to take a tour to learn about Nebraska and all the art and design in the capitol building!

I honestly had never been inside the Capital Building, content and fascinated by the architecture on the outside of the building but now that I have been inside wow... and the observation deck on the 14th floor and that it is tallest building in Lincoln, give you an amazing view on beautiful sunny days

As someone who works in state government and has a Masters in government, the experience was personally and professionally satisfying. The grounds were a little drab in the winter cold, but the building itself is pretty magnificent. We went in on a Saturday afternoon, and no one was around. The inside is spectacular, like the inside of an old Roman church. It reminded me of grand Armenian churches Ive visited in the countrysides outside of Yerevan, with the stone work and art work. It offered a unique opportunity to explore, taking the antique elevators up the tower, going through side hallways and getting views from various angles.

I have seen a few state capitols in the past few years, so I decided to stop by the Nebraska state capitol on my way through Lincoln. I was intrigued on sight as I was driving up to it because it defied the norm of most other capitols I have seen (elongated dome rising up from the building versus the norm squat, round domes) so I figured I should go inside and take a look. I enjoyed the architecture on the inside - the main floor is dimly lit and cool, kinda inviting if youre walking in from a hot day. Several murals on the walls, the marble columns, gorgeous mosaics on the floors, were all very beautiful. Most of the hallways on the main floor boasted busts of famous Nebraskans. Some of the hallways had pretty benches for lounging.

Its such a fantastic building. So much history. All the art inside is beautiful. Could spend countless hours here.

At 400 feet, it is the second tallest of its 50 peers after Louisiana at 450 feet. The tower is completely functional with 15 stories that contain various state offices. There is also an observation level on the 14th floor which I would love to have visited (for my Getting High album) but was closed today.Other facts... when it was built, it was the tallest building in Nebraska. It is now third after two buildings in Omaha. The man on top of the tower is The Sower, he is casting the seeds of life to the winds. Construction of the Lincoln tower began in 1922 and completed in 1932

When I lived in Lincoln, I never got bored of this beautiful masterpiece. It is an excellent sight from a distance and has a fantastic deck of great views!

Good places for history.

Took the 11am tour on a Saturday, small group. Tour guide is a wonderful person, very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. Very enjoyable, well worth it. Very beautiful building.

Beautiful building!

It was fine, the capitol building is small comparing to other states but kinda unique

Parts of the Capital were under construction when we visited, but overall the structure was still incredibly beautiful. The interior architecture seemed more like something out of a movie than real life; particularly the beautiful golden arches and tilings on the floor. The tour guide we had was very friendly and we were able to enter both the Supreme Court room and the state legislature room.

Very beautiful. I liked the hallway with all the senators offices.

The capital is very tall, kind of scary to go all the way to the top. There is a statue on the very top of the tower, he is called the tailor because he sews. With binoculars, one can see the statue is holding a singer sewing machine, such cool history way up there, gives me goose bumps.

Our tour was very informative. The tour guide was impressively knowledgeable about the buildings history. The design of said building has many intracacies which would be missed by the casual observer without a tour guide to alert you to them all. Tours are once an hour and you have the option of going to the top and looking out on the entire city of Lincoln. Quite interesting, we enjoyed it very much.

Nebraskas State Capitol is very well kept. There are tours with very knowable guides. The artwork on the walls are full of history about the plains. Wonderful history lesson for children. Visit to the top gives you a panoramic view of Lincoln. You get to visit the legislative chamber and the Nebraska supreme courtroom. You learn secrets. The tours are often, not a long waiting time. Many local artists along with artist from other places. There is a gift shop and a café (open mon-fri). We went on Saturday and they were giving tours that day too. A very beautiful building.

VERY tall building that you can see from most anywhere in Lincoln. Turns out that theres a city ordinance that prevents any other building from being higher or, from obstructing people’s views of the capitol. Gorgeous interior with murals and floors, marbles and paintings…all done with Nebraska life in mind. One of the best tours we’ve had in a capitol building. The man giving it was enthusiastic (like it was still his first time giving it) and informative while answering all our questions. The view from the top is not that great because there’s just not a lot to see on the horizon in Lincoln…lots of trees only.

Very handy cap unfriendly! Beautiful building but we had to leave 1 behind.

Idk how many times i have seen comments like incoln is just meh im sorry that we have to live in a city like this. Second off who goes to the capital when youre in lincoln?! most people go explore downtown not the capitail, like try the japanese ramen bar down there. Third dont go to the capital if ur not white bc last time i went their with my hispanic dad the mayor didnt shake my brothers hand bc he was with my dad but when im with my grandma( whos white) he will. Welp just dont go their if ur not white bc theyre REALLY racist there

One of the coolest looking state capitols I’ve ever been to

Awesome building. Take a guided tour; very informative. Take an elevator to the top floor observatory. The west side is the best view in my opinion. A huge railyard in the foreground with a view that stretches for MILES!

Wow this place was awesome! I sure enjoyed myself. I wish I could have stayed longer and had a better camera. I will most certainly be coming back at some time in the future to take more photos. Also I would love to take the tour, its a big place and Im sure I missed a lot.

The history behind this State Capital building was very interesting and informative.

I love our state capital building. Ive made a point to stop at other state capital buildings in other states while vacationing and I must say ours is beautiful. There is always someone at the information desk and they have always been friendly. The tours are short but full of information. A must see. Dont forget to make a trip to the 14th floor to look out over Lincoln.

The tour runs every hour except for noon and it was pretty short. The guide was knowledgeable about the building and took us into a now unused chamber. I have never seen so much amazing artwork outside or a museum.The main building is not air conditioned but several rooms inside are. Not a great place for kids, but I would recommend a visit.

A most unusual state capitol building. It is art deco with some amazing murals and feels different because the legislature is unicameral. Well worth a visit if in the area.

If you ever get the chance to visit, I highly recommend it. The tallest building in Lincoln (by law), the observation desk provides a wonderful view of the surrounding area. Its gorgeous inside. The first two buildings they built didnt last, so for this one they got limestone from Indiana, marble from Italy, designs from an architect in New York and artisans from New York as well. Its home to the only state government that is run on a non bipartisan system. They do not have a house and a senate. Their representatives work 60 days one year and 90 days the next and are paid $1200 per year, with an 8 year term limit. We need to be paying attention here...

Beautiful place. Free visit.

Very beautiful building. Full of history. Learned many interesting things about Nebraska.

Very much enjoy the tour, the building itself, and the grounds. Probably the coolest state capitol building Ive seen yet and is a regular stop when Im in Lincoln.

Beautiful build i never expected that it would that nice

I thought I was back in Baton Rouge for a moment.

Love to take the kids here. We try to spot our house from the top floor. Such a beautiful building.

Despite the recent controversy over Nebraskas new license plate design, or even the somewhat unimpressive exterior of the capitol building, the Nebraska State Capitol truly is a beautiful sight to take in if you give it a chance.The impressive architecture, beautiful designs on the inside, and the amazing view from the observation tower make this building well worth the visit if youre looking for something to do while visiting Lincoln.

Ten years in the making (1922-1932), this huge limestone building, nicknamed “Tower on the Plains” for its one huge, 400-foot tower, which can be seen for 30 miles on clear days. The building also includes over 20+ murals, a Lincoln Monument, and so much ornate detail. When you are in Lincoln, its certainly worth the visit for so many reasons. Even the bathrooms seem like theyre from the 30s.While the ventilation system that was installed 50 years ago was ground-breaking in its time, a project has started to begin replacing it with a 100+ million dollar version to keep everyone at the proper temperature.Enjoy your visit.

Not just a building. Art honoring the native peoples, symbolism, energy and timelessness of mans struggles and triumphs. Almost 60 years of visiting, and I still find new things to appreciate. Dont forget to lie down and look up at the rotunda.

Beautiful building and cool peaceful place

That man on the roof should be ashamed of himself!

The capital is very tall, kind of scary to go all the way to the top. There is a statue on the very top of the tower, he is called the tailor because he sews. With binoculars, one can see the statue is holding a singer sewing machine, such cool history way up there, gives me goose bumps.My wife thinks the architecture of the capital is extremely chauvinistic. When we drive by she always closes one eye while looking at the tower and then makes obscene hand movements and shouts out Look, Im polishing the dome! I always tell her to grow up, that she isnt funny, but she just keeps it up. Shes so juvenile sometimes.

A very impressive and grand stone building. Not the best Capital building I have seen, but definitely not the worst. I would recommend a stop by for anyone visiting Lincoln.

Nebraskas capital is a must see if you like architecture even a little bit. The building is unique on the outside, but is more so on the inside. I would suggest getting a tour guide.

State Government Office Building with Tours Available to Explain Unique Architecture of the Structure

Living history. Beautiful murals, so fun to wander around. Recommend you just walk around and enjoy yourself.

Really a very impressive state capital building.

A very beautiful and historical building. We were walking around and admired wall and ceiling. Awesome. Also many informations and pictures of foreign administrations hang on the wall. You can spend easily 3 hours inside the building. Also the floors are very nice (mosaic). But the best came at the end: 14th floor and a fantastic view to all sides. Wonderful! Only sad part the metal fence (which is there for security reasons) has very small openings; so if you want to take decent pictures and are not using a smartphone it will be tough (but not impossible). Best thing: You can park for free on any side of the building for max. 2 hours.

Beautiful building, very glad I took my daughter to see it, tour guide was very nice, and gave lots of historical facts about construction of the building, I would definitely encourage others to go see it.

Great view from the 14th floor. Everything has an old feel and vibe from it. The elevators were old style and the architectural design itself was also very retro.

Love the building and the architecture. Free admission is great, and its fun to see the city of Lincoln from the top of the capitol building.

Love the embassy suite! Thank you for a wonderful night. Room service, help with our bags really fast:-D , every things there and really good service:-D

Very impressive view from the top. I used to live across the street. Beautiful downtown.

The Capitol is a great place to visit. Awesome history inside and amazing view from the deck.

Beautiful building with a rich history. The view from the top is spectacular, as there local law prohibits any building taller than the Capitol.

The building is amazing. There are some free tour about the history of this place. You should take one if you visit.

Nebraska has an unicameral legislature. It is the only state to have a one house legislature.

Beautiful building but male tour guide was so rude and so loud on Sunday. The lady guide is very nice but male guide talks so loud that disturbing other visitors.

Beautiful mosaics inside and is this most unique Capitol Building I have EVER seen.

Probably one of the most beautiful buildings I have yet seen. The outside is not much to look at, but the inside is just amazing.

Great local history.

Very interesting and informative . Enjoyed the tour.

Impressive structure and a great view from the observation tower. Reminds me of a cathedral or castle.

Nebraska is a very boring state to drive through

An awe inspiring structure designed by a renown Architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue.Mr. Goodhue designed several landmarks including National Academy of Sciences Building.There is nothing quite like Nebraskas celebrated State Capitol.

The architecture and imposing size of this building make it a very interesting place to visit and learn about the history of Nebraska.

Nice view and Great tour. after all its the state capital.

Nebraska has the prettiest, most magnificent State Capitol building of all 50 States! No other State capitol can compare to the architecture and ornate structures of the building.

Easily one of the most beautiful capital buildings in the United States. AWESOME ATHIEST DISPLAY 10/10

Its just amazing.

Beautiful building that tells the story of Nebraska

Impressive architecture and helpful staff. Proposed to my fiancee at the top of the tower on a weekday and no one was there which made it even more special.

Beautiful and very unique state capital.

I know, I know. Redundancy Department of Redundancy Department...My absolute favorite building in Lincoln

Must go up to top and look out best thing there wish there was more info on history of capital on walls or displays of some sort.Did not due tour so maybe that would of gave all info needed.

Cant reach anyone on the given phone number. Tried twice and told to leave a message if I had questions about tours.

Amazing, historical building.

Theres a statue of a man sowing his seed by hand on top of a very man like structure.

Beautiful

A great place for Family Photos

When I was in California, I never went to the capitol. Since moving here from Oregon, I have been here numerous times, and I never get tired of it!
