There is a real interest so the place is packed at all times. Expect it so you don't get frustrated when you arrive. No one likes a grump. I'm claustrophobic, but was able to share the tram pod with four others to get to the top of the arch without a twitch. What a great view! You can see the... More

Be prepared to walk and spend several hours there touring the arch. The day we visited it had to be rushed due to our plans for the afternoon and evening. As a result we didn't get to see all of it, but what we did it was very impressive and well worth the visit.

I booked tickets a month in advance and had no issue checking in. There is a significant wait to ride the tram to the top. The tram cars are very tiny, each holding five people. If you are claustrophobic it is not for you. The windows at the top are little and it was very crowded. The city is not... More

Wonderful experience as everyone else has stated in their reviews. The museum is free and is great to tour through if you are interested in the Lewis and Clark exploration and settlement of the West.

This is an amazing bit of architecture, but the lines, tiny elevators, small swaying windows at the top of the arch, are not a lot of fun. Enjoy the Arch from ground level!

This has to be the number one attraction in St. Louis: an engineering marvel and an American icon! Every city has parks and gardens, museums and shows, but only St. Louis has this. It's an absolute must see!

Busy, but as expected. The price to go to the top was a bit steep for a family, especially at a national monument. However the view from the top is amazing. The ride up is a bit nerve racking, in tiny cars with 5 people sitting literally knee to knee. Overall, you gotta go if your visitting St. Louis and... More

Great family excursion. Adventure for the grandkids. Park was wonderful. Experienced the Mississippi

The Gateway Arch was so cool! You don't have to walk all the way up to the top. There is a shuttle that will take you up the Arch. Wow the view is amazing, you can see the whole city and see the river and far out to the east of St. Louis. This is a must do attraction in... More
