Join us in visiting Idaho's State Capitol - a building that has stood for over a century as a symbol of democracy.
1 hour guided tour for parents and children 2nd grade and up. Any children under 2nd grade who is interested in visiting the Capitol can do a self-guided tour with an adult. Brochures to assist in a self-guided tour are available at the Capitol's gift shop for free pick-up. The brochure is also available online at http://legislature.idaho.gov/capitol/selfguidedtour.pdf Parents with children both over and under the 2nd grade age range could assist each other on the fieldtrip day, some going with the older group and some with the younger, so that both groups could be touring the Capitol at the same time. Please make your own arrangements or contact the fieldtrip coordinator if you need additional assistance.
Come a little early in order to arrange parking.
If the legislature is still in session on that day, older children could go early to the fieldtrip and sit in on the legislature. When the day of the fieldtrip gets close, check to see if the legislature is still in session and what is planned for the day at www.legislature.idaho.gov
There is a fun website sponsored by the Capitol that provides lessons about government, the State Capitol, Idaho History and games for children. This could be a fun resource for extra education or preparation to get the most out of the fieldtrip. http://idahoptv.org/productions/specials/capitoloflight/kids/index.cfm
