Texas Capitol Gift Shop

I visited this store today around 1:45 PM with a few friends. The store itself is really nice – lots of variety, good prices, and honestly, it’s the kind of place where you feel like buying everything. My friends were enjoying it too and even picked up some magnets. But things went downhill because of one person (looked like the owner, an older guy). I picked up something I liked and walked over to show it to my friend in another corner. He came up to me and pretty rudely told me that there are already packed items and I should grab one of those instead. The way he said it, plus the very weird face he made while saying it, just felt so unnecessary. My friends saw it too, and they also didn’t like his attitude. I felt embarrassed enough to put the item back and just leave. The store itself is nice, but that one interaction completely ruined the visit. One star only because of him.

I don’t usually review gift shops, but I really enjoyed the merchandise. I told the clerk or owner I like gardening and he was very knowledgeable about flowers.

The Capital building itself was absolutely brilliant and an eye-opening experience, the history, well it's a fantastic place to visit, the gift shop itself was ok and my wife enjoyed picking up a few bits to bring back to the UK.

If you ever want something free to do in Austin then go to the Texas Capitol building and get a tour of it. Learn few more information about Texas that you may not have known. Plus you can't beat FREE!! YES, FREE!!!

Gift shop is quite a clip away from the Capitol but that was kind of fun because it makes you walk through the grounds which are beautiful. Prices were reasonable and a decent selection of souvenirs.

Texas capitol building in Austin is unique, and tour guide was very informative. Highly recommend a visit.

The store is organized, 2 very professional ladies were in charge of it. It is a little bit pricy, it is inside the capitol I bought a mug for 16$, I use it everyday for my tea.
