About

The New York State Capitol is a stunning historic building offering free guided tours that showcase ornate architecture, grand staircases, and the legislative chambers. Best for school-age children interested in history and government; tours can be long for younger kids, and it's a popular field-trip destination so weekday crowds can be high.
