I would like to bring to your attention the experience we had during our recent tour. While the tour itself was enjoyable and our tour guide was exceptional, we unfortunately encountered some challenges with the behavior of your security personnel. Specifically, there was an older gentleman of African American descent, approximately 5'7" in height, with a closely shaved head, who exhibited unprofessional conduct towards our group.Throughout our visit, this particular security guard closely monitored our movements and reprimanded our students for even the slightest noise or conversation. It was disheartening to observe that this behavior was not extended to other groups visiting the museum, but rather seemed to exclusively target our group, which consisted primarily of individuals from minority backgrounds.This unwarranted attention and unwelcoming attitude created a highly uncomfortable atmosphere for our students and staff. We firmly believe that if schools are not welcome to visit, it would be preferable to refrain from offering tours specifically designed for educational purposes. It is our intention to lodge a formal complaint regarding this incident.Please be assured that we value the educational experiences your institution provides and hope that prompt action will be taken to address this matter.

To many states would tear there old one down. THANK YOU for not doing this. The allows younger generations a chance to take a glimpse into the past and understand what it was like, plus learn about why great politicians where known for. It's refreshing to read about those that cared about people not fame. It's great to understand how grand a time it most of been. The museum also has great volunteers that know a lot, well at least on the Friday we went.

Located in Phoenix City, the environment is quiet. It contains the State Assembly Hall and the General Office, which is the old site. There is a model of the state's railway on the second floor, and the electric train is constantly running, which is suitable for children. There are also art and Chinese calligraphy exhibitions. The tour can be completed in one hour.

The Arizona Capitol Museum was incredible! The building was originally constructed from 1899-1901. This museum is 4 floors with both an elevator for those who need one as well as stairs. There is vast history to learn about the building, the USS Arizona, Arizona governors, etc. Each floor has restrooms. Be sure to grab a map from the desk in the front entrance. The admission is FREE! Allow yourself at least an hour to pour through the history enclosed in each room of each floor.

Tour the AZ Capital Museum, Senate, and House of RepresentativesThe historic Capitol building housed the Arizona Territorial and State Legislature until 1960 and Executive Offices until 1974. The building was then restored and rededicated as the Arizona Capitol Museum, officially opening in 1979.Tour on your own or take a guided tour (to learn fun facts like how the statue on top was picked because it was the cheapest in the Sears catalog at the time). See different rotating art and history exhibits throughout the year. Learn the timeline of Arizona becoming a state. See artifacts recovered from the USS Arizona. (My favorite was the wine bottle and glasses given by President Gerald Ford to the last remaining survivors to toast their fallen comrades) Check out the original office of the governor and portraits of governors past. Have fun watching the model railroads running all through a variety of Arizona scenes. See the beautiful tile state seal and find out how it came to be. (And how it was made by artists in another state, after just reading a description, and learn what they left out). Finish by browsing the gift shop for items with the state seal, postcards, books, and more.Also, be sure to step inside the Senate and House of Representatives to see where our local government meets. You can stand in the public gallery and see the chambers (even while currently being renovated).Be sure to walk through the Wesley Bolin Plaza that is home to multiple memorials dedicated to different ways and figures
