The Capitol itself is beautiful. Be sure to go on one of the tours to get the most out of your visit. They run daily and it is FREE! Get your camera ready. The park itself is a day trip. SO may memorials to see; The Vietnam War Memorial, the Fireman's Memorial to name a few! It has beautiful rose... More

I've seen them all (except Hawaii) and this is the best. One of the things that makes it the best is there's plenty of grounds surrounding the Capitol, unlike other states who built on those grounds. Just try finding the Capitol building in Phoenix!

The grounds of our state capitol are beautiful! The property was very clean and welcoming. A lot of monuments these days are over done with security and barriers but it was nice to walk right up and take a peek inside. I would absolutely love to return on a weekday to see the wonderful inner walls of the building. The... More

The gardens were simply lovely; don't miss this garden when in Sacramento especially the rose garden and the military monuments.

The Capitol Building was so breathtaking as well as the various memorials including the Sisters of Mercy Memorial and 9/11 plaque. I took about 200 pictures here. Beautiful scenery and architecture through out the park. cant wait to... More

Very green park right in the middle of Sacramento downtown area. Even on a hot sunny day, this place feels nice and cool with trees all around. The 2 rose gardens are also very pretty with lots of rose varieties. I took my parents here when they came to visit and my mom absolutely loved the rose gardens.
