Tips for Entering the Capitol Building

click for more details

Access additional parking and shuttle information.

Guests at the Capitol enter the building through the security checkpoint at the "Carriage Entrance" under the south steps, which can be accessed from the sidewalks at the southeast and southwest corners of the building. Entrances are staffed by Missouri Capitol Police utilizing both magnetometers and X-ray conveyors for security screening. These public entrances are also used by school groups, contract employees, special guests, members of the media and others. Learn more about Capitol security here.

(If you climb all the south stairs, you will have a great view, but you will be unable to enter the building from that location.)

Access additional parking and shuttle information.

Note: Busses are have specific unloading, parking and loading locations at the request of Capitol Facilities and Capitol Police.

See Bus Information for more details.

Tips for a successful legislator visit:

Plan ahead!

Contact your legislator and arrange a meeting time that fits the obligations of your Fine Arts Education Day activities.
Tell your story! Each time one of our decision-makers learns about the hard work of your students and their teachers, we build a bridge that can support arts-friendly future decisions.
If you have a specific "ask" prepare a document (letter, note, card, flyer) and leave it with them.

Suggested asks:

1. Restore core funding of $10.1M to the Missouri Arts Council,
2. Restore funding of $1M for MO Humanities
3. Fully fund the Missouri Academies for $1.1M to eliminate economic barriers for students with limited financial means. (MO Academies of MO Scholars Academy and MO Fine Arts Academy share a line item in the state budget)
Take a picture of the legislator with members of your group.
Thank them for their service and their time. Handing them a few student generated notes are also helpful.
