Beautiful piece of history from the buildings to the statues to the waterfalls and bridges. A great area for a family outing or just walking the dog

A Patriotic place to visit in the State of Missouri. Surrounded by a nice river view & landscaping, along with various statues & monumental stone inscriptures. A good place to appreciate, as well as to get out of the vehicle and stretch and take a breath of fresh air and to reflect upon our forfathers.

It was Beautiful! I am a firm believer that every American should see their state capital at least once. There are few words that could describe the atmosphere other than beautiful. I was in shock!

An excellent place for a family outing,a walk, a date, or just enjoying architecture and the great outdoors! The grounds are well kept, and the fountains and flowers are very nice to visit.There is construction in the area, but it is well marked and there are plenty of ways to get around it.

This writing is to build on the Missouri State Capitol building as a whole which encompasses the equally impressive Missouri State Museum. The architecture of the building is so securing, but also almost has a quiet feel to it. You can here the Senate echos through the walls during the off summer months.

The Missouri State Capitol Building is a beautiful architectural site to see and tour anytime of the year. The rich history of the state is showcased very well throughout the grounds and building as well as the museum.

Our Missiouri state is beautiful.Today we drove thru Jefferson City taking in the sites of the government buildings, memorial gardens and pizza! Nice town to tour.

Worth stopping at.. great photo ops and some good places to eat nearby

Jefferson City has a nice downtown area mixing historic and modern buildings. The state capitol is worth a visit, not necessarily as a destination stop, but certainly for an hour or two break if youre passing through; or, as we did, make Jefferson City a stop for the night when traveling I-70 (its only about 30 miles south of Columbia). Our highlights are the Thomas Hart Benton paintings in the House Lounge and several of the lunettes on the second floor (the tour guide pointed out the best ones). We also enjoyed exhibits on Missouri natural history.

I would definitely recommend taking a tour of the capital of the state of Missouri great art structures to be seen great place to take photographs lots of local venues Restaurant shopping in Jefferson City can make it worth the trip depending where you live Grounds of the capital or beautifully kept I recommend fall of the year early spring after they implanted all the flowers. A great One day road trip for residence and a beautiful place to stop for anyone passing through the state.

Nice building but it too dark inside not bright like others capitol. Also it currently under rennovation now so you wont be able to see the exterior of the building

Little museum vibe with tons of knowledgeable things going on.... cool place.

Went on a group tour with the 4th grade class at my sons school. Ive been a couple of times before and the guide this time was really informative and kept the kids engaged. There are a lot of intriguing facts about this capital building being the first for many different things.

We stopped here on our way from Kansas City to St. Louis. It is about half way on the drive and a great pitstop. The bottom floor is a museum where you can learn about the history of the state. You can go up several floor and see into the Senate and the House rooms. Everyone working there was very knowledgeable and willing to share with us.

There is a lot of cool historical sites and monuments to check out here. Unfortunately our trip was spontaneous and during the winter. Everything was closed and the Capitol building was under renovation and completely fenced off. We still got to check out a lot of the monuments and other cool sites. There is an awesome view of the Missouri River and great places for taking pictures.

Love the history in just the presence of being there! If you look up inside the top of the archways you can see the city seals for our towns! Didnt find mine but Ill find it at some point! Lol

Lots of renovations keeping Missouri running and our history intact for all to see, participate, and learn about and from. Spend the morning with a guided tour or head off on your own. Dont forget the basement, and with your representative you can go into the whisper gallery. History meets the 21st century, in Jefferson City, MO.

The Capitol building grounds are currently being renovated, so not a whole lot to see there. The inside is still open to the public and I would very much recommend the free tours that are offered.

What a grand place! The 1st level has allotted space to high quality museum. Another level displays scores of busts of famous Missourians (Harry Truman, Betty Grable, Walter Cronkite, etc.). Yet other levels have seemgly countless semi-moon and traditionally shaped historical murals. Visit your local representative, look into the House and/or Senate Chambers, or take in the statues and fountains. Currently, the capitol is under restoration, but still this a must see as a great place to visit.

Gorgeous! The inside is breathtaking. Definitely worth the visit, checked off my 3rd Capitol!

Im still here still fighting as a holdout the Yanks cant figure it out

It was great seeing both the House and the Senate lounges. The Thomas Hart Benton paintings in the house lounge were spectacular. The capital is a Missouri treasure that all Missourians should make an effort to go visit!

Youll enjoy your trip to Missouris state capitol! They need to replace and secure the walkways around the building, a definite trip hazard. There are no handrails at the steps as well, so watch your step when you visit.

Rachel Helwig was simply amazing. We loved her service, and appreciated all the details she went over with us. Definitely recommend this dealership.

One of the most beautiful State Capitol buildings in the country. Much better on the inside than the outside.

Beautiful monument to the people of Missouri. Contains an outstanding art collection that includes works by Benton, Brangwyn, NC Wyeth and more. Also home to the Missouri State Museum.

As a new resident to Missouri, this was a great place to learn about Missouris rich history.

A hive of scum and villany the likes of which the universe has never seen

Beautiful building and museum with friendly staff and a gift shop!

Amazing building !!! I love this great state and the fine folks inside this wonderful place.

Very nice.

Fun place for a family visit, or if youre advocating for your cause. Make sure to take the tour, either self guided or by one of the park rangers. There are a lot of interesting facts in this building.

I enjoyed my visit to the State Capital. The building and paintings are beautiful. The Thomas Benton artwork captured Missouris history. I highly recommend visiting!

Construction everywhere. Not much parking, so we had to take an hour only spot and rush. Tour guide was mediocre. Art work also mediocre. Nice architecture. Most of the chambers were locked. Governors office gave the kids pencils, but ushered us out quickly without saying much. Not the best experience we have had in a Capitol.

I Absolutely Loved The State Capitol, I Learned Alot the Facility was Spectacular & the Staff was Very Nice & Pleasant.

2 thumbs up to everyone at the state capitol!!! life unlimited from liberty mo traveled to the capitol with our individuals with special needs yesterday for disability rights day. I must say that this year everyone welcomed us with open arms. we had a really nice time. keep up the good work!!!! makes me proud be to able to brag on my hometown!!!! jay pride native 05!!!! much better then last year!!!!!!

Some very interesting things to see. However its very difficult to find things as there are hardly any signs indicating where to go.Did like getting to see the protest group dressed as Handmaidens (from the Hulu show) when I was there.

The state capitol is a very interesting place. When you first get in it is mostly a bunch of old stuff that you could see anywhere, but once you get further it is a lot more interesting and unique.

Even though had a 2 year old with our group it was interesting I also think that she was the youngest to visit the Capitol

Under construction yet still 100 times better than than it was 10 years ago!

Wanting to get BSL to end.

In process of redoing the capital. Starting to look good

Great place very Christan atmosphere nice to visit no Satan Austin Daniels here hey look at my name saint Robert Lee summit Arnold Missouri love yas

Very pretty building, even if construction prevents you from seeing the outside.

A must see place & tour.

The fire works were spectacular

Historical Art Work and Artifacts inside our beautiful Capitol. (Under construction 2020 currently in March).

Very interesting. Stopped in to see the Governor but was in St Louis but we got a tour of his office which was very very nice. We also received a couple of souvenirs from his office too. Also went to the Secretary of State office and impressed our own The Great Seal which was very cool. The building is so huge with so many interesting things to see and do. Great place to tour with this hot weather we are having, because its very cool in there. While the adults are going through the museum your children will also enjoy the Raggedy Ann path of their own! Fun and interesting visit! More than what we had expected.

Great trip with my home schooled soon!

Very impressive building!

My marriage state as a Confederate holdout 2012 miss yall get ready for Gettysburg

The staff are fantastic and knowledgable but it was too crowd.

Free, some very nice historically informative murals and statues of the people of missouri

Great tour, guide knowledge...good availability and freedom to wonder and check out the quirks. Front of the capital under reconstruction right now which hinders so photo taking experiences but should be done by the end of summer. Make sure to check out the famous Missourian busts and the congressional lobby painted by Thomas Hart Benton, amazing piece of art. Bring an umbrella if it might rain as parking is away from the capital unless you wanna try and score some of the parking meter spots that are sometimes available right around the capital square.

Wonderful place to visit to learn to appreciate your history and democracy in general. Its amazing the Bible passages that were boldly and assertively inscribed in marble, back when that wasnt politically incorrect. Its a beautiful structure and the grounds are worth a slow, pensive stroll as well!

Neat to see the museum and have the ability to walk around the entire building.

This place is beautiful! We loved the free tour and the museum inside. Even with the renovations going on the outside, it was well worth the visit.

Awesome experience, prayed for state leaders

Even though the exterior is under renovation this was still a wonderful place to visit. We missed the scheduled tour, so walked ourselves thru, the displays were informative enough for this to still be a good experience. Trying to find the fossils hidden in the limestone was fun and challenging as well.

The tour guide was great. Interesting to see history in the artwork. Beautiful building. Very interesting to watch the debates. Highly recommend

An impressive and immense building with great architecture, history, and art. Highly recommend a guided tour, as you may not notice the best parts! Will be VERY busy during legislative session (January through May)

Such a cool building! Neat architecture. Awesome optical illusion paintings that seem to move as you walk by. In a cute town. Lots of parking. Nice area.

Love visiting the capital. We went on a Sunday and it was nice and quiet. Only 3 stars because handicap accessibility has been badly affected by the construction.

There is currently construction going on in some of the cooler places, and my group was told the construction wouldnt finish until 2019 or 2020. What is there is still pretty cool. The building is gorgeous, but again, because of the construction photos and sound quality arent amazing right now.

Wow what a beautiful capital so many beautiful murals. must take a tour. It is totally worth you time. I been multiple times and is worth your time.

Cant wait till its finished.

Wonderful spaced out displays. Perfect for any weather to go. Stay warm during the winter or cool during the summer. Kids area for hands on learning is there as well!

A neat place to explore and see how government works. During session in the spring you can sit above the Congress and watch how it works. You can also go by different legislators offices and get to meet your local legislator. The building itself is currently undergoing some renovations particularly on the exterior so be prepared to have to enter by a different entrance and you might expect.

Not really a fan of government buildings but found a tour surprisingly enjoyable. Best part is you can just wander around at your leisure. Interesting memorials on the grounds as well as some impressive statuary. Museum inside and some wonderful Thomas Hart Benton murals. It is actually considered the most beautiful state capitol in the country.

Our kids go here for a field trip for student council and its a good time. the man who does the tours is very friendly and really tries to fit everything in so we get to see it all. ice been twice now with the school and really enjoyed both times. I will be glad when construction is over so that the kids and adults really get the entire experience

Historical swearing-in of legislafors and advocacy conversations on policy change

What a fun tour. This was great to spend some free time. Lots of great exhibits.

Enjoyed the visit and tour; beautiful architecture and artwork throughout. Nice if small museum inside.

Wonderful displays & museums. Amazing artwork and architecture!

Great and beautiful building with lots of interesting history! Recommended!

This is a great place to take kids and teach them about local and state history.

Great tour with great tour guides. The only downside is it seemed a little short, wish it could have been a longer tour. Overall great place to visit if youre in the area.

3rd floor was blocked off, but most things were accessible.

The Missouri State Capitol is one of eminent structure I visited, from the hand worked wood that adorn the Governor Office to the Fifty handcrafted States Seals Aline the wall. I had the opportunity to go the whispering wall the august of the trip.

Great place to learn more Missouri history. If you contact your senator or reps office they can usually take you or your group on a tour (if you dont mind steps and small places ask to go to the whispering gallery).

Very beautiful place to visit. Very many monuments with interesting historical background

They have a good-sized museum area thats free and open to the public during daytime hours. I found it interesting and good for kids, esp considering it was free.

What a beautiful Capitol. The grounds and the are really relaxing.

For the History nerd, great exhibits are found! So much History to this wonderful capital building!

Its the best capitol in Missouri! Accept no substitutes. Also, it really is a good place to visit if youre a Missourian-might as well, you paid for it. Lots of great history, knowledgeable tour guides, and maybe a wild politician or two sneaking around the halls. Im sure other capitol buildings have more bells and whistles, but this is a nice one. There does seem to be a semi constant state of construction in various areas, but usually avoidable. Go and pretend its a third grade school trip, and see the capitol.

The building is awesome! If you live in Missouri you need to visit at some point in your life (or if you are a fan of awesome buildings).

We have visited and walked around the grounds on a couple of occasions. One of our favorite visits was last December when most of the legislators offices were closed. There werent a lot of visitors and we spent several hours wandering the halls and viewing the many historic murals or other exhibits. The staff were very friendly. All-in-all, it was an incredibly relaxing and peaceful experience.

I work in the Governor’s Office at the Capital I love working there

We went here today me and my family for the first time. There was so much to see and learn about. The tour was so informative and educational. I learned a lot and had a great time. So did our newborn but he loves paintings and people anyways. Im glad I went here today it was very neat and the whole building is beautiful!!!!

Historic building decorated with wonderful sculpture and beautiful murals. Interior and exterior are well worth the time.

A spectacular building to know part of the history!

Wonderful tour of our states capitol! I learned new things and enjoyed watching our legislative process in action.

Full of history! Every Missouri citizen should visit. Be prepared to walk up many stairs. There are elevators available also.

Love it

This is a great place to go to to learn about Missouri government and history. Great for school trips.

Pretty cool place if you are into history and government. The capitol is such a cool building!

Nice building- Very beautiful, I enjoyed the paintings. Whisper gallery at the top is very nice.

The Capitol building is full of history about Missouri. If you have not been this is a must. Call and schedule your group tour.

The tours are awesome. The interpreters are very knowledgeable on Capitol history. The inside of the building is beautiful. The reason why is explained during the tour.
