Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Christine GSaint Louis, MO1,381 contributionsIt has been over 25 years since I visited the Capitol building, and it was almost like visiting for the first time. Everything I read (including the Missouri State Parks webpage) stated guided tours start on the hour. However, when we got there we were informed you have to book guided tours online at least 24 hours in advance. We took a self-guided tour. (They have a handy pamphlet to help you find your way round. ) The architecture was as beautiful as I remembered, and the paintings were breathtaking. We were disappointed that we couldn't go in the visitors galleries of the House of Representatives and Senate. There are windows in the doors to take a peek inside. A gentleman at the Capitol stated the visitor galleries are only open when the House and Senate are in session.
The Missouri State Museum is also housed inside the Capitol, and had very nice displays. If you want to see everything, make sure to plan your visit for a couple hours. We were here for about an hour and saw quite a bit, but not everything.Written 13 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Herman02Phoenix, AZ411 contributionsYou must part on the street, but it is open for foot traffic. Some really really old grave sites. It was a pretty place.Written 30 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
