SEE ON THE TOUR
Trained volunteers take visitors on a 45- to 60-minute tour of the State Capitol complex, giving pieces of fascinating Oklahoma history along the way, including the fact that
Oklahoma has the only
Capitol with a working oil well on its grounds.

The structure itself is of Greco-Roman architecture and includes 650 rooms on 11 acres of floor space. See the marble floors and stairs, hand-painted ceilings, portraits of famous Oklahomans and other fantastic artwork, the
(relatively) newly-added dome and more.

Administrators of the Oklahoma State Capitol complex recommend the
SOUTH PARKING LOT for those scheduling Capitol tours. Parking is free, but the area can get crowded when the Legislature is in
session (February through May).
