A fun night before the big instate rivalry of collegiate football.....the capitol is beautiful at nighttime

Worth the time to stop and walk through the Old Capitol. Beautifully remodeled and refurbished,-a great way to spend an hour or so. Emblem of the University of Iowa, it's is a good thing re-modelers in the 1920's thought to put a slab of concrete between the bell tower and the building, so the burning bell did not fall through and set the whole building on fire during a remodeling incident in 2001. The burned bell is now on display in the basement.

Everyone at the Capitol was so nice and it was a beautiful building! Friendly, clean, a nice quick tourist stop

Free parking can be hard to find around the university. Go down 5 blocks to find residential parking--first come, first served. (You can also pay parking across from the student union.) If following GPS, note that if the road is washed out you will need to take the exit that goes through Coralville. Taking stage front and center, the Old Capitol greets you. It's a simple building that has a rich history for the state and the university. I was a little disappointed seeing it after visiting the Madison (WI) state capitol of which the two are day and night of each other. The grounds are nice, and you can always pop over to the natural history museum next door for an extra thing to do.

Would have liked to spend more time here. Beautiful timepieces of history here. Didn't get to the gift shop but would have liked to do so...maybe next time

The iconic dome of the Old Capitol is the symbol of The University of Iowa but don't stop there. The inside of the building has been restored to the way it was when it opened as Iowa's Territorial Capitol. The stairway is amazing and a photographers dream. No admission and well worth the time to go see it and the view from the West side.

What did Iowans hope for in 1848? The architecture says it all: classical virtues of the republic, enshrined in bright spaces without grandiose trimmings. The modest but solidly furnished offices and legislature halls are grouped around a spiral stair. This is where the people who decided to fight for the Union left their hatracks and inkpots. You feel close to them.Today it's an excellent small museum and academic occasion venue. My studious wife and I admire the research effort U of Iowa people put into forming exhibitions on all sorts of things. I especially liked the recent one on peoples of the arctic and Iowan researchers who worked among them.A great place to get started with international visitors or out-of-towners. Convenient too. Parking and eateries are close by.

Old Capitol is right next door the Natural History Museum and they complement each other very well. There is no parking for Old Capital, however there are streets nearby to park on with a parking meter. The kids I took here loved all the history and being able to look out the windows on downtown Iowa City. It was a beautiful afternoon here.

I nice stop to get a feel for Iowa back in the days when it was a territory. It is nicely refurbished and the staff/students are wonderful guides.
