Welcoming All to the Capitol

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Join us at the Michigan State Capitol, where inclusivity and accessibility are at the heart of what we do. Discover our rich history, witness democracy in action, and be a part of our vibrant legislative process.

The goal of the Michigan State Capitol Commission and Capitol staff is to ensure that every person visiting the Michigan State Capitol is treated with respect. Everyone should be able to enjoy a tour, observe the legislature, and participate in the legislative process.

The Michigan State Capitol Commission and Capitol staff are committed to complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We believe that individuals with disabilities should not be excluded from any program, service, or activity offered by the Legislature.

The Michigan State Capitol Commission is committed to making its websites usable by all people by meeting or exceeding the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 Level AA (WCAG 2.1 AA). We are conducting an accessibility review of this website and are remediating any issues identified during that review.

Please be aware that our efforts are ongoing as we incorporate the relevant improvements to meet WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines over time. If you are currently experiencing any issues with our website, have specific questions or concerns about the accessibility of this site, or need assistance in using the processes found within this site, please contact us.

Capitol tours are entirely elevator accessible, and visitors may borrow a wheelchair while they are here.

Family bathrooms are located in Heritage Hall and in the west hallway of the ground floor of the Capitol.

A Braille version of our self-guided book is available upon request and American Sign Language interpreters can be scheduled in advance for groups of 10 or more.

Sensory friendly kits, colorblind glasses, and hands-on 3D models of the Capitol are available for use at the Heritage Hall information desk.
