Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Explore St. Louis is committed to ensuring that our digital presence and our physical facilities are inclusive and accessible to all visitors, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone should be able to explore the beauty, culture, and hospitality of St. Louis with dignity and ease.

Technical Standards

To ensure a seamless experience for all users, we aim for our website to conform to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide array of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Ongoing Efforts & Proactive Steps

Accessibility is an ongoing journey. We are currently implementing a digital accessibility roadmap to stay ahead of evolving ADA regulations. Key initiatives include:

• Facility Validation: We are actively collecting and validating ADA-related data from our partners across the region and at the America’s Center to provide visitors with accurate information regarding physical accommodations.
• Sensory Inclusion: Recognizing the diverse needs of our guests, we are working to identify and highlight sensory-friendly spaces and tools designed to support individuals who may experience overstimulation.
• Intentional Design: We are auditing our site to ensure that imagery, navigation, and information architecture reflect our commitment to underrepresented communities.

Third-Party Content

Please note that our website may link to, or interface with, third-party websites and platforms (such as social media feeds or booking engines) that we do not control. While we encourage all partners to meet high accessibility standards, Explore St. Louis cannot guarantee the full compliance of these external sites.
