点评:We were especially eager to visit this capitol because its architecture it different from most other US state capitols. We almost decided not to stop at all because the neighborhood around the capitol does not look very safe. Also, there was construction around the capitol that made it challenging to find parking and difficult to find the public entrance to the capitol building.
Once we got inside, we were so glad we visited because all three of the staff members we interacted with were incredibly knowledgeable and willing to answer all our questions about the building and about the legislative process in Florida. We were able to visit both the House and Senate chambers as well as the observation deck on the twenty-second floor. There are fascinating murals throughout the building. At the time of our visit, there was a huge Lego model of the capitol displayed near the visitor desk. Unfortunately, the gift shop was closed probably due to the construction.
翻译:我们特别渴望参观这座州议会大厦,因为它的建筑与大多数其他美国州议会大厦不同。我们几乎决定不停留,因为州议会大厦周围的街区看起来不太安全。此外,州议会大厦周围正在施工,这使得停车和找到州议会大厦的公共入口变得困难。
一旦我们进去,我们很高兴我们参观了,因为我们接触的所有三名工作人员都非常博学,愿意回答我们关于这座建筑和佛罗里达州立法程序的所有问题。我们能够参观众议院和参议院会议厅以及二十二楼的观景台。整个建筑都有迷人的壁画。在我们参观的时候,游客服务台附近展示了一个巨大的乐高州议会大厦模型。不幸的是,礼品店可能由于施工而关闭了。
