While You're Here
Welcome to Capitol Campus! We hope you enjoy your visit and help us keep our campus grounds beautiful for others to enjoy as well.
See the cherry blossoms
Capitol Campus cherry blossoms are a favorite to see during springtime. They usually bloom starting end of March and into April.
Take all the photos you want of our beautiful trees, but please don't break off blossoming branches. Help us keep our trees healthy for all to enjoy for many years to come.

Tour the Legislative Building
Year-round you can take a guided tour of the Legislative Building, also known as the Capitol Building. You'll notice a lot of activity during the state legislative session, which runs until April 27.
Tours last 50-minutes and are on a first-come, first-served basis (groups of 10 or more need a reservation). Tours start at the information desk inside the main entrance.
Take only memories, leave only footprints
Please respect the hard work our campus stewards do to maintain the arboretum on campus.
Leave flowers, buds, or branches on the trees and bushes for people and pollinators to enjoy.
Use "smart" bins for garbage and recycling.
Do not fly drones. Capitol Campus is a No Drone Zone.
