Welcome to your Minnesota Capitol


The State Capitol building is open Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.  The building remains closed on Sundays. 


The newly restored Capitol includes nearly 40,000 square feet of new or restored public gathering space. New space includes meeting rooms, working and relaxing space, gallery space, and expanded dining areas.

Members of the public can reserve spaces in the Capitol for events, meetings, and other gathering purposes. Additionally, many of these public spaces can now be reserved for use after normal business hours (this will require additional information and usage fee).
