North Dakota State Capitol

We joined in on an afternoon tour of the state capital with a small group. Although you can do a self guided tour of select parts of the building, the tour guide took us to several areas that were normally closed off, including the "monkey room" and the state supreme court room. The tour ended at the top floor, where we could look out and see for about 30 miles in any direction. Our tour guide was fantastic, and we appreciated the extra stories she added to the tour. We recommend taking a tour of the state capital after spending the morning at the North Dakota Heritage Center. The two together made a great day in downtown Bismarck.

Tours can be self guided or with a guide. Beautiful grounds around the building itself and the interior is amazing. The tour takes you through the major parts of the building, such as where the Legislature meets as well the Supreme Court. The tour ends on the 18th floor which has incredible views for up to 30 miles on a clear day. Well worth the visit!

North Dakota State Capitol is very nice and unique from the other state capitols with its own unique design. It’s really nice clean interior with monumental architecture and art work on the walls. The outside of the building is nice as well.

Amazing! Free tour of the Capitol and really impressive art. Deco architecture and history. Great tour guide and camp beat views.

One of the more bland state capitol buildings out there. It's similar to Florida and Louisiana with the fact that it's just a soulless gray rectangle. It's really not worth stopping for unless your goal is to eventually visit all 50 Capitol buildings

The guided tour highlighted the different materials used to build the current capital. This building is one of four state capitals the are basically a high rise office building.

Beautiful state capital building and the best example of art deco design I’ve seen. Immaculately maintained. Great bathrooms. Energetic and lively tour guides plan on taking at least an hour. The top floor observation deck is a fun way to see Bismarck and surroundings

Not open for tours on Saturday afternoons during summertime as advertised everywhere. Public entrance is locked at 1:45pm on Saturday, June 14th, despite claiming to offer a 2pm tour. Very disappointing, as I drove from over 6 hours away and planned my weekend around this.
