Great museum. Four floors of interesting and well put together exhibits about Arizona history for you to browse through at your leisure. Very little foot traffic during my visit, only a handful of other visitors at most. Photography is welcomed. There's plenty of free parking in the lot across the street.

There is one main reason to see this museum and it's for the chunk of the U.S.S. Arizona. As far as I know it's the largest piece you can see that isn't underwater in Hawaii.
The woman at the front desk was a well of information. In fact, she never really gave us an opportunity to leave with how much she wanted to impart, further telling us that we HAD to see this or that, how gorgeous this silver punch bowl was, and so on. A little pushy though she was, she was a dear and no museum would be complete without a lady like this.
The building is gorgeous to say the least, and it costs nothing just to check it out. Made for a nice hour-long visit.Listed in: Visitable History (California…, Roadside Arizona

All museums rock, but this one is consistently interesting. If you are downtown, make it a point to visit. So many great things to do here in the valley but you have to seek them out. Too bad these guys do not advertise more!
Good for a 2-4 hour visit for the typical family.
Enjoy! -

What a wonderful museum! Most people have never been or haven't been since their 5th grade class took them here on a field trip in the 80's. Arizona is not as old as many other states but this is a reminder that we do have a lot of history in Arizona.

Museum Description (from Capitol Museum Association)
This National Register site served as both the Capitol of the Arizona Territory and the State Capitol and has been restored to its historic appearance. Exhibits: House and Senate Chambers, offices of Governor and Secretary of State, hands-on exhibit for sight impaired, and more. Gift shop.
OH... and it's FREE! and you can go see the highly controversial 9/11 Memorial it's just a walk away from the museum. -

1. Its free.
2. I went with my boyfriend and didn't see everything there was to see, but that could be because we went with an hour left til' they close.
3. It was hard to find (not that we're complete dunces, but we ended up driving circles around the capitol before actually finding it).
4. One more time, it's FREE!
