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.

- rhburn3Holland, MI44 contributionsAmerica's Newest National Park and a must see. You learn how one of the major industries of 1900 developed and how it eventually failed. Nice tours for about 1 hour and great fast food, Potbelly's less than 1/2 mile east of the Park.Written 17 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I grew up listening to them and it brought back some great memories. Seeing their stuff up close and personal was really cool. They had Keith's diary, lyrics notebooks from Mick, set lists, etc. We cool to see that they even have flair when their handwriting! Felt like I have a better understanding of their rootsWritten 1 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- joaniemariaEldridge, IA5,263 contributionsWe came to see the Tiffany Dome. The whole building is beautiful. There is a Welcome Center inside. The gift shop was closed when we were there. We saw the art display on the 4th floor. You can easily spend an hour or more here. It is quite large. The restrooms are super clean! I recommend a visit to this free attraction.Written 10 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TAMAN1951Liberty Lake, WA8,937 contributionsGreat story about the 10,000 books donated to the children of Chicago by the queen of England.
Stonework is immaculate and of course the Tiffany dome is quite spectacular.
While the actual books are stored elsewhere this building is worth a visit just for the craftsmanship.Written 5 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Seems odd this survivor from the 1800'S amidst massive skyscrapers.Written 9 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dmittlemanPalm Beach Gardens, FL1,409 contributionsWe attended a large wedding here. The venue is large and inviting. Although it is industrial looking, it can be warmed up nicely. The food was superb. The feeling was chic but the focus remained clearly on the bride/groom and the attendees. A great way to start a life.Written 24 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
