2009/2010 SCHEDULING INFORMATION THE FOLLOWING TOUR/ORIENTATION SCHEDULE WILL BEGIN SEPTEMBER 1, 2009 Guided tours of the Georgia State Capitol are available Monday through Friday (see times below).Tours begin at the Capitol tour desk (located at the Washington Street entrance) and consist of a brief overview of Capitol history and the lawmaking process, a visit to the public gallery of the House of Representatives or Senate, and conclude with a self-guided visit of the Georgia Capitol Museum. Visitors are also encouraged to visit the “Hall of Valor,” which houses Georgia’s priceless collection of historic flags. Tour group sizes are limited to 40 visitors from April 1st through December 31st. Tours during these months last approximately 30 minutes. From January 1st through March 31st, when the Georgia General Assembly is in Session, groups are limited to 80 visitors. Because of the noise levels and congestion in the Capitol during Session, groups will receive a 10-15 minute orientation in place of the 30-minute tour. Instructions will be given to groups who wish to view the House and Senate Chambers during their visit. Viewing the House and Senate can be arranged with the doorkeepers of each gallery during the visit. The Capitol Museum is open to visitors throughout the year. We recommend adding 30 minutes to your visit for viewing the Museum. Groups that exceed the maximum numbers per tour will be scheduled for more than one tour. Please indicate the total number (e.g. 120) of people in your group, including students and adults, and we will attempt to match your scheduling request(s) as closely as possible.
