Leave your Topeka hotel with EV charging for the day and take a tour of the Kansas State Capitol to learn about the notable building housing the executive and legislative branches of government for Kansas. The building features a remarkable, 304-foot dome, which is taller than the 288-foot United States Capitol dome, and offers informative tours that go to the very top of the dome by climbing 296 steps leading from the fifth floor to the top! Since the territory became a U.S. state in 1861, the building in Topeka is the second to serve as the Kansas Capitol, the first being in Lecompton, Kansas.
