We went around 10 am and somehow had the whole place to ourselves. (Minus anyone who works there) The free self guided tour is available with a talking device you can put up to your ear to help guide you along. (You get these in the middle of the building in the office to the left-free) You are also able to use your phone to listen through it if you choose. There is a QR code in the middle near the front doors after you walk in. It gives you a lot of interesting information about the numerous paintings, statues, and items stretched across 2 floors as well as allowing you to see the different rooms.(one of which was the representative hall) I did feel that sometimes the audio went off on tangents unrelated to the area it was for. It is handicap accessible and has an elevator up to the second floor. It also looked like there was also a cafeteria on the 2nd floor available for us to eat at but we didn't eat there or look into it further. We spent about an hour here but depending on how long you like to spend at each area, I'd say between 1-2.5 hours to visit the state house. We parked on the street with meters but I'm not sure if there's a parking lot available as well. Overall, it was really interesting, the building itself is beautiful, there are tons of paintings, and the audio about the outside is well worth a listen!

I bring my dog here nearly everyday, and since she's voice trained, I'm 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 it's 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.

We had the opportunity/honor to visit the Vermont State House in JUN_FY2024 and it was an amazing experience, a great opportunity to learn more about VT's history and legacy. We did a plant tour aroud since it was closed during the weekend, and for sure it's a remarkable building. Definitely, it's a place that deserves my respect. It was a privilege.

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.

The self tour of the state house was great. It was quite and we had the building to ourselves. The Vermont State House, is in Montpelier. The building was amazing inside and out. The Greek Revival architecture is a beautiful display of engineering. I definitely recommend this tour. Go early to ensure you beat the crowds.

Beautiful state house. The goddess of agriculture Ceres is at the top and it's one of the state houses with actual gold domes. Beautiful view of the city of Montpelier from the steps. And a lovely city to walk around. The lawn is well groomed and the plants/flowers are maintained well.
