Stunning architecture. Beautiful grounds. This is a great place to enjoy a picnic or do any out door activities that one would use a large field. This is also a great setting to take photos whether it be a family visiting taking random photos capturing their touristic endeavors or a professional shoot for any photographic need.

Great architectural design, huge grass for kids to play or run. There was security around, not to busy and you can catch a great sunset right there. It is a spot that you should definitely visit when in Salt Lake City.

Beautiful structure and grounds. Definitely a must-see for anybody visiting Salt Lake City. Check to ensure that it is open to the public when you visit as hours vary. Plenty of great exhibits on the lower level. Street parking is easy and convenient.

Neoclassical architecture at its best. Perhaps the most beautiful structure in all of Utah. The grounds are great for walking.

Closed due to covid but still worth the visit. Beutiful set.

Gorgeous building with great architecture. Great for photos! Also have lovely fields for picnics and other activities.

Can’t miss this stunning Capitol Hill Building, great to walk around, take pictures, even the drive around there is simply beautiful.

The most beautiful capitol building in the US! It is massive and so gorgeous on a blue sky kind of day. The inside is gorgeous as well.

It is remarkable how much the Capitol building looks like the White House! There is an immense amount of detail both inside and out that make for a beautiful and memorable experience. Regardless of the number of times I visit Salt Lake City, I am certain to add the capitol building to my agenda. I could spend hours here exploring and taking photographs.

One of the best capital building I have seen. Great building, nice and wide lawn, fountains and a circular walkway makes it a beautifl place to have a nice time when you are here in salt lake city.

I’ve been in Utah 2 years now but never to the Capitol Building. Went today and loved it. The views, architecture, and Christmas tree were stunning. A bit freezing but we did peak at some of the grounds and can’t wait to come back in warmer weather.The rotunda area was incredible. There were no tours but we wandered around with the self guided tour and did just fine. Parking was convenient, just be prepared to get a lot of steps in!

Theres free parking all around which is a plus. Its really beautiful in the spring time but theres arrogant families that ask you to get out of their way in order to get the perfect photo.

Everything done in quarried stone. Amazing.

Amazing architecture! If youre a history buff you will love this gem.While we were at the Capitol there was an exhibit about the meeting of the railroads and it was a real treat. We were able to see the bill that Abraham Lincoln signed in the Pacific Railway Act of 1862. To actually see a document that was signed by Lincoln was a heartfelt experience for me.The architecture is stunning. So much so that there were 5 brides having their wedding pictures taken as well as some college students capturing pictures of a costume they had designed and created.A very picturesque piece of both Utahs and Americas proud heritage. Loved it! ️

Amazing place to visit. It has been many years since Ive been here and see it on the hill all the time from the freeway and very glad we took the time to go visit again. Very beautiful building and grounds.

Beautiful, clean grounds. Well kept. The inside of the capital of spectacular. We enjoyed the old fashioned elevators. The murals were beautiful and taught us the history of Utah. What a beautiful and ornate building. Outside of the capital you can find great views of the mountains and the City

I could just visit this from outside due to covid. But it looks spectacular at night.Must see !

Awesome day out. A memorable experience. Great local people!

One of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. This part of the country feels like it stood still in time as the rest of the world spiraled downward. Absolutely stunning monument in a breathtaking city.

My best advice: do not miss this one. Itd well worth a day trip, too. One of the best State Capitals in the US. Beautiful, historical building, extremely well maintained, fantastic set of information. Would take a good half day even to have a quick look at everything. Outside: awesome view of the city and surrounding mountains. Its park is meticulously maintained.

The Grounds are Very Very Pretty!Cool and Inviting!Grounds staff are very friendly and courteous!The Buildings are Gorgeous!Kudos!The seasons are all to be enjoyed up on the hill!Architecture is Amazing!

Great views of the city and entire valley. Excellent place for photographic opportunities.

Learn your civics and visit Utahs Capitol building. Beautiful!

It looks beautiful in the night, you can see the city lights in the night from the building. Saturday, Sunday open for public if you wanna to see inside of the building.Looks clean from inside and outside. Park near this building is really beautiful. During fall this park looks more beautiful.Enough free parking space available.

Good place to enjoy the weather. Interesting sculpture of the 1905 Movement.

Its a beautiful building and view from there is amazing . Its great walking up there. There is a good running or walking track nearby. A few miles walk ahead will get you to Ensign peak trail start.

The Capitol is really gorgeous. Great architecture, both inside and out. Lots of marble on the inside, beautiful murals.It is free to the public to explore, take photos, or spend time with family. They offer free guided tour of the Capitol which is really informative. If youre visiting SLC, this has to be one of your primary stops.

The view up here is breathtaking! Be sure to find the best spot avoiding trees distracting the views. You could see the mountain far away as well as the whole landscape of the city. Herere the pictures taken from the building.

This Capitol exudes the importance of the work done at the location. I wish every government building in our nation conveyed such seriousness. It is a must see if in the Salt Lake area. Also everyone working there we met were friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful building with amazing views of the entire valley. Went to a wedding here and it was elegant and beautiful. You should go see this building if you have a chance!

Very pretty building. You can walk all over the grounds and inside too. The rotunda is worth a look. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Very impressive. No tours on a Sunday, but with the schlep up the hill. Nice view of the city from here too. Definitely worth a look.

Such a beautiful building and the grounds are amazing. You are able to walk around the interior of the building on your own as it is open during the day and into the evenings. Tours are also available hourly most days. The grounds are large and kept meticulously. There are walking paths around all the buildings. During cherry blossom season (April-ish) its simply stunning.

This place brings you to the top of the salt lake city. You can see the ice covered mountains on one side while the city rests on the other side.This place offers spectacular views.This building is marvelous and stores vast amount of history in it.You can just come here and get lost for few hours.Must visit place.

The Utah State Capitol Building is always a fun place to visit. Its a beautiful building. Its modeled just like the United States Capitol Building in Washington DC.I attended a tax reform presentation with the press, and noticed a Planned Parenthood rally going on at the same time. I ran outside to get this photo for you, it was really raining.

Easy to find parking on a Saturday. Accessible, great photo ops. Several brides, babies and quiciera girls taking pics. Seems like this is the place to get ur photos taken. Unbelievably clean, just about every state capital staff member on the east coast could spend some time here and take a few pointers back home.

SLC is clean! Pretty empty during COVID, but nice to walk around and see the architecture.

This was truly exceptional! I loved seeing this building! The trees are beautiful driving up the hill to see this building was truly a sight to see! Be careful when pulling out of your parking spot it should be s 3 way stop. However it’s not. Also please beware of dog treats for whatever reason people do not pick up their dogs messes.

The Capitol building is super pretty, especially at night. It closes fairly early most days, so if you want to go inside be sure to go early. The gardens behind are beautiful and peaceful and if you wrap around to the west and south sides there are stunning sunsets and views of the city. Some of the statues around are a little odd, but pretty cool.

Very ornate building with many intricate paintings. Marble walls and grand stairways line the building and beautiful views can be seen from the front patio.

We came here on a tour. A great site and beautiful building with lots of history.

Definitely a very cool place to see, especially since you’re free to roam around at no cost! The architecture is truly stunning. The grounds are gorgeous and well-maintained; walking or sitting here never gets old. The inside is impressive as well, but if you’ve spent half an hour here one time, you’ve seen it all. While you’re here, check out the pristine marble restrooms- it’s nice to see where your tax dollars go

Nice walk around the Capitol Building, Lesky loves it!

The facility is open till late in the evening. Was able to walk up steps and enter the main rotunda area. Beautiful inside with a lovely chandelier. Walked into a wedding photo session, so you know its grand inside! And the echoes! Also has an excellent vantage position to look down on the city from the terraces around the building.

Beautiful location. The Capital building is gorgeous inside and out.

Who knew this was such a happening place on a Saturday night! We took our kids up there to show them the building and walk around the grounds. I expected to be the only ones there, but it was busy! A guy was there blowing big bubbles for the kids to chase and pop. We had such a great time.

The views from up there are awesome. The name Capital Hill matches the location. Most of the state capitals that I have been to sucks, because its hard to find parking or its paid parking. But here you can park across the street for free.

I would pass by it every day on my 7-Day vacation and I always look forward to seeing it

Great stop on any road trip and a must visit while in the city. Gorgeous architecture and free to enter!

Excellent place. One of the must see attractions in Salt lake City.

While the Capitol building itself is not very impressive, the tour guide was great. Baily gave the tour and she was very knowledgable and excited to share everything she knew. She fielded many questions professionally and intelligently. If you go to the Capitol, try to have her give you a tour because she was great! The building is pretty simple and the artwork inside is underwhelming.

It is an exactly the same as Washington d.c. building it was fantastuc

The Capitol building in Salt Lake is situated amongst some of the greenest grass Ive ever seen! The building is impressive to look at, but even more so the views you get from being up on the hill looking back over the city is stunning. Seeing the snow-capped mountain to one side even on the hottest days is quite something. Well worth the walk up to the area even if you dont have a tour.

Very beautiful and well constructed. The marble cut is symmetrical due to the pattern and from a single rock. Gives quite a view of the city.

What a fabulous historical site! Take a tour of you get the chance to do so! Lots of symbolism in the architecture and the murals, and the statuary. Worth spending time here to look around. At the least, get a self guided tour pamphlet and follow it around!

Beautiful State Capitol sitting atop a hill in Salt Lake City. The Capitol grounds are very well maintained and the views from the Capitol from atop the hill are breathtaking. The interior is well maintained and presents a wealth of Utah history.

This is one of the top things to see when in Salt Lake City. Great architecture, both inside and out. Lots of marble on the inside, beautiful murals. My only complaint is that it can get busy (tourists, wedding photo shoots, school classes, etc). But its free and the view is incredible.If youre visiting SLC, this has to be one of your primary stops.

This was very great to see. Seems like your in a completely different place up here. You see the beauty of the mountains and such amazing architecture. Love how its up on the hill, such nice scenery. Lots of steps going to the building but its very nice inside. Little visitor center across the street that had a lot of info of places to visit and a receptionist who can answer questions and give advice of what to see, where to go.

Beautiful gr. the Netherlands

The architecture and history is absolutely amazing. I am obsessed with the atmosphere of change and promise for a future that radiates from this place.

Gorgeous views of the valley and beautiful architecture. Wish I had known the public was allowed inside, I was told hundreds of times (after leaving of course) about how beautiful the lobby is. Oh well, maybe next time!

We only took a photo from the outside. Its beautiful.

Design was like the state Capitol in DC

Thanks for the great tour, Debbie! Informative, fun, and interesting, both about the buildings history and Utah state history, as well. We even got to see legislators in action! The building itself is beautiful. I highly recommend the free Capitol building tour for anyone visiting downtown Salt Lake City.

Have you seen the golden spike exhibit yet? It wont be around for long!

I highly recommend the tour in which you can see inside of many rooms such as the foundation columns, governors office, etc. Very friendly and accommodating tour guide Sheryl. Gorgeous building decoration with top quality marble and other materials.

The Capitol is in a beautiful setting up on the hill. The building is also very cool.

Beautiful historic building in Salt Lake City. Definitely worth touring and taking it all in.

Every hour a tour Will be given. This makes a visit worth while. Its alle free - no charges

A must see! If you can go at sunset prepare to be amazed!

While the capital building looks beautiful from the outside the ground need to be kept up and the surrounding streets and parking are impossible. I will also say that there is always student tours which isnt bad but makes for it to always be busy. Ive also seen many capital buildings and city halls in both the USA and other countries and can tell you that this is the least special one I have seen.

Utah is a peaceful city. I like this city. I will come back again.

Just lovely amazing place, u will fall in love with this place, so organized so many blossom trees amazing building, amazing view

This is such a fascinating place! If youre here, I recommend a tour and to sit up in the gallery for a session if you can. Theres so much fascinating information that they can provide and any of the interns helping are so helpful and kind. They make the experiences worth while, though some of the time they dont always know the information. It has beautiful marble work and art work and I recommend that you take a moment and look around!

Love the architecture of the building. Pretty awesome area. My grandparents lived in the avenues so I would drive by the Capitol building on my way home. Got to take some HDR images as well of the interior. It’s beautiful inside and out.

Beautiful as always, but sadly building was closed to the public

Beautiful view and a beautiful interior! Breathtaking.

Very nice capitol building and ground. Awesome views! One of the best capitols Ive ever visited.

Stunning monument of a building in Salt Lake City. Picture perfect panoramic views to marvel at from the top staircase of the Capitol. I learned more than I imagined about the state of Utah from the very interesting displays and exhibits located inside. A must-see for first time visitors to SLC.

The place is clean, the grass is green and well groomed. I came here late in the evening and its still worth it. You got the sunset view all over the city of salt lake.

The architecture is amazing here and there is a pretty good view of the city.

A lovely building with great views across Salt Lake City. Plenty of parking and space to take in the view without it feeling over crowded- worth a visit if you are a tourist in the area.

Nice place with great architecture and cool paintings inside. I had trouble finding something to actually do or see. The place was super empty and once you see the main entrance youve seen it all. The exterior is sort of bland. I wont be coming back next time Im in SLC.

Amazing! I love the arts esp on the ceiling in the center.

We went on a school field trip. We happened to be fortunate enough to be there the day of the 150th anniversary of the Golden Spike. Fifteen minutes after we arrived three Blackhawk helicopters arrived carrying the governor, the lt. governor, Senator Mitt Romney, and various dignitaries dressed in period clothing. We got to watch from the capitol steps. We then toured the rest of the building as our docent (tour guide) explained how making laws worked and what each room was for and the architecture behind it. The children recieved a small gift bag at the end with two stickers and a 2019 penny. The next day at school they received a pin and thank you from our districts representatives.

The Utah State Capitol building is the house of government for the U.S. state of Utah. The Neoclassical revival, Corinthian style building was designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting, and built between 1912 and 1916. One of the largest projects during the renovation was the addition of a base isolation system which will allow the building to survive as much as a 7.3 magnitude earthquake. The main doors are made out metal, which gives it a heavy weight. Inside the building is for statues which represents Immigration and settlements, land and community, science and technology, and arts and education. The roof has many painting that seems religious.

Just walked straight in and gave myself a tour. It seemed like everybody else was doing the same. The building looks great from the outside but is even better from the inside!

Visited on a Sunday afternoon in May. Beautiful view of the city and the mountains. Not to mention thecapital building itself.

Had a hard time finding the front door. Found a few doors locked.

I loved the fact that every hour the state capitol building has a chime that can be heard all over town. The house nearby are so adorable.

We downloaded a scavenger hunt before we went for our little one to cross off while we were there. She loved looking and it was beautiful! Lots of history to read and displays. We liked that it was even open in on Sundays although some rooms were not open to look into.

The Capitol is beautiful and open to the public. I stopped by the Lt Governors office for a legal matter. They were quick, helpful, and kind. Couldnt ask for more.

Stopped by here during my Amtrak tour around 5AM in October. The view is fantastic at dawn. However, It was too early to enter the building.

It has to be awesome. Its the States Capital building.

Beautiful building. Four floors to look around, and really nice grounds as well.

This place is full of history. Great place to visit.

Feels unfair to judge as I didnt go in, but there are some lovely historical markers and memorials surrounding the grounds. Beautiful views.

Beautiful building and grounds with amazing views of the city and mountains

Salt Lake has this picturesque capitol over looking the city. We parked near enough that we could walk down a few steps

The Capitol Building is a great place to visit inside or out. The grounds are well maintained and the blossoms on the trees are gorgeous in the springtime. The outside is a pleasant and serene place to walk, jog, or just relax. The inside, I believe, requires a guided tour which one must set up but Im not positive on the details as I went on a tour with my sons 5th grade class. It was very informative and educational for both of us.
