We invite you to explore Pennsylvania government at work, by visiting the Welcome Center at the Capitol. Learn about Pennsylvania government -- and have fun in the process -- by reading, listening, touching and interacting with 18 colorful, informative exhibits.

The Welcome Center is located in the East Wing of the Capitol, and is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Located in the East Wing, the interactive Welcome Center is a good first stop for visitors to Pennsylvania's Capitol. A series of educational displays explain how laws are made - and even allow citizens to "vote" on legislation. Visitors can also find out who their representatives are in the House and Senate and contact them with questions and comments. The Capitol and Welcome Center are accessible for individuals with special needs.
