I bring my dog here nearly everyday, and since shes voice trained, Im able to let her roam off leash with me. We always walk to-and-fro around the lawn and the paved+granite paths in front of the building. I cant recall the last time someone reacted negatively to her curiously sniffing around them or her approaching their pup to say hello. There is A LOT of lawn between the state house and the main street, so its perfect for her to roam about and do her business as well as play fetch, free of worrying about any potential dangers. Again, she is voice trained, and very obedient. Very good experiences here overall.

This is a very beautiful building. When I was visiting, the House was in session, so I could experience democracy first hand.Please wear the mask. Protect Vermont.

This is one of the coolest places I have ever been to. Visiting from Canada, the tour was excellent. Learnt a lot about the history of the Legislature. Our tour guide was excellent and he was really funny too. He really cracked us up and made the tour interesting. This is one of the places that if I visit Vermont again, I will surely stop by again.

I loved visiting the Vermont State House! When I arrived on Saturday, I wasnt expecting to be able to go inside or take a tour, but Im glad they were open. The docent was outstanding and the building, beautiful! I recommend stopping if you have free time.

Lovely building and friendly staff. Had a very informative (free) tour led by a friendly member of the Vermont House of Representatives. Worth the drive from Burlington.

We had a great tour through the building. It was calm that day, with our young three children, and they ran into the Lt. Govs office, and she was very understanding and welcomed them in, and talked to the girls for a minute or two. Very cool, free place to visit! Beautiful grounds.

Magnificent capitol, both from the outside and inside. Its quite picture-worthy, especially at night when the building is lit nicely.The free guided tour was very informative. Definitely join one if you are visiting. I was quite surprised to learn that the legislature only meets for about four months in a year, during the first quarter! We were able to visit the legislative halls since there were no on-going sessions. At the end of the tour, visitors can stay and head to the cafeteria for food and drinks. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful, especially the ladies at the gift shop.If you dont have time for the tour, you can check out the virtual tour on their website.

This is the beautiful and historic seat of government of Vermont. Excellent free tours led by guides whose enthusiasm for history is contagious. Easy to find metered parking available nearby. Highly recommended.

Not good treatment of mikmaq, Native american veterans and abeneki . wabanaki are also part romani. in 1991 -1996 I attended some state schoolscouting programs/ st Boy scout troop 111 in Brandon . and law enforcement explorer post 111 at brandon district court. They were also using indian scouting programs at industrial schools. They were for early forms of indian education in vermont. they were though the brandon state school ( supposedly for the feeble minded indians) Recently i learned about orange shirt day . it is a day for survivors of residential and industrial schools. a few Modern day industrial schools still exist to day such as job corps in vermont and maine

We went here on a field trip when I was in 8th grade. It was pretty cool and we also went to the other building next to the state house. The tour was good.

Awesome experience at the state house. Not only is the building architecture amazing, but it is laden with fascinating paintings. We received a full tour of the building and its facilities from exceptionally nice people. Overall a great experience (not to mention it is located in beautiful Montpelier).

Was suprised how much the two nine-year-olds I brought enjoyed this tour. They set us up with the listening wands and maps and we went off on our own. It was a great tour for a cold day and it felt like a privilege to be able to go through the building on our own. Very nice!
