Take your students on a video tour of one of the most unique experiences in all of Kansas, a climb to the top of the Kansas State Capitol! Located in downtown Topeka, the Kansas State Capitol’s distinctive copper dome with its Ad Astra statue is a prominent feature of the city skyline.

This spectacular tour is breathtaking—literally—with 296 steps and no elevator. The elaborate architecture is highlighted with close up views of the inner and outer domes. The summit offers a unique perspective of the city of Topeka.
