Taking the tour of the state capitol was interesting, and being new to the state, I learned a lot of little facts about California that I would never have known had I not taken the tour. One example is that Lake Tahoe was at one time known as Lake Bigler in honor of the popular third governor of the state. The tour guide provided a lot of information in the short amount of time she had to present the information in each of the rooms, including both the senate and assembly chambers. Plus, the tour is free!!

Outside of the capitol, the pathway toward the gardens is lined with orange trees and you can faintly smell the citrus fruit as you walk by. Make sure to walk through the gardens after your tour.

I know it sounds cheezy but we had a good time on the tour of the state capitol. It was interesting and educational. I always wondered what it looked like on the inside. its our states history, we should know about it.  
   There are so many little things the tour guide told us you would'nt know other wise. Besides where all our tax money goes. The gardens on the outside were very well kept. (I wish my back yard looked like that)
A great way to kill an afternoon.

Take the tour. It's surprisingly thorough. It's true that I'm a history dork and therefore may be a little biased, but I found the tour to be quite entertaining and educational.
