Explore the Historic Topeka State Capitol
Your day begins with a guided visit to the stunning Topeka State Capitol Building, one of the most impressive architectural landmarks in Kansas. Learn the fascinating story behind the Capitol’s 37-year construction, while admiring the detailed artwork, murals, and historic chambers that make this building truly special.
After the guided portion of the tour, you’ll have plenty of free time to explore at your own pace.
For those who enjoy a little adventure, you can take part in the Capitol Dome Tour and climb the 296 steps to the top for breathtaking views of the city of Topeka. The climb includes straight, steep, narrow, and spiral staircases with unique landings along the way—an unforgettable experience for those who choose the challenge.
Lunch at a Local Topeka Favorite
Midday we’ll stop for lunch at a popular local Topeka restaurant, offering a wide variety of menu options including gluten-free choices, ensuring everyone in your group can enjoy a satisfying meal.
Discover the Mulvane Art Museum
In the afternoon we’ll visit one of Topeka’s best-kept secrets — the Mulvane Art Museum. Opened in 1924, it is the oldest accredited art museum west of the Mississippi River.
While the museum features art from around the world, its collection beautifully highlights the work of Kansas and Midwest artists. Visitors can also enjoy the impressive outdoor sculpture displays surrounding the museum grounds.
Activity Level
This tour includes moderate walking.
