Kids love stairs, huge rooms, "hiding places." A roll down the hills outside is fun. Central location perfect starting point for exploring downtown.

Pros: Free!, Open Late, Lots to See

If you think this is a waste of taxpayer's money then you really need move to go to another state and pay their state tax rate! I love spending my sales tax money towards this building. It gives me goosebumps to see it, and I see it every morning from work! This beautiful building signifies the strength, dignity, and beauty of the state. Definitely worth a tour! Texas, love it, or leave it! We don't mind! Signed, A Seventh Generation Texan
