Guided Tours

Touring the Capitol Museum with a Museum Educator brings the Capitol to life and places it within the greater context of Arizona History. Individuals and families can join a walk-in tour everyday at 10:00am or 2:00pm, but larger groups (10 or more) require a reservation. To reserve a tour time please use our Museum Tour Reservation system.

Group tours can be adapted for the needs of the audience. All student tours are designed along state education standards for social studies.

Discussion Series

The Capitol Museum hosts many events throughout the year relating to historic and contemporary Arizona. For the schedule of events and programs please refer to the Museum Events page.
