The Gateway Arch

A Must-See in St. Louis! Visiting the St. Louis Arch was an amazing experience! The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking, and the ride up was smoother than I expected. There's something surreal about standing inside such an iconic monument and looking out over the city and the Mississippi River. The museum below was also really well done—modern, informative, and engaging. Definitely worth the visit if you're in town!

What a great landmark standing along the Mississippi river. It's a symbol of the Great West expansion of the US. The view from the top is outstanding, riding the tram is fun and amazing but took kind of a long wait. Highly recommend to purchase the tickets in advance and don't miss this. The museum is great about the history and has lots of educational information.

Didn't know about getting tickets in advance, so we had to wait about an hour and a half, which gave us time to roam the grounds. Even though it was cloudy and rainy, the park was beautiful, and we could still see a lot at the top. The overall experience takes upward to an hour. The ride up and down is less than 4 minutes each way. You get about 5 minutes at the top. There are two sets of cars to the top. Each share a piece of the top. They are small pods that are meant to hold no more than 5. If there are small children, they can sit on laps. The tour guide will go over over the history of the Arch before pictures are taken, and you wait in line for groups to disembark from the pods for your turn. The pictures were $35. The museum is a nice place to check out before going up as there is a lot of history there. It was an interesting visit and one I recommend.

The Gateway Arch was an amazing experience! ⭐ Going to the top was creepy—but in the best way possible. It's definitely a must-do if you're in the area. The view is incredible, and the elevator ride up is super unique—you’ll know exactly what I mean once you’re inside! 🏙️⬆️ The museum below was also impressive. 🏛️ It had a strong old-style, Midwestern and Native American vibe and did a great job breaking down specific eras of history. I found it both educational and visually stunning. 📚🪶 The gift shop inside the Arch was a bit pricey 💸, but considering how unique the place is, I couldn’t leave without grabbing a few souvenirs to take home. 🛍️ I highly recommend visiting, whether you're with family, friends, or just exploring the city solo. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👫🧍 Definitely buy your tickets in advance and look out for any available discounts. 🎟️💡 And don’t forget to take lots of pictures—it’s an experience you’ll want to remember! 📸

A beautiful monument with a breathtaking view, especially in the evening. We visited after park hours, so unfortunately, we missed the tram ride. However, the park was peaceful and nearly empty, which made the experience even more special. We were lucky to witness a gentle rainfall that enhanced the atmosphere and gifted us a stunning sunset — truly a magical moment.

We were in STL for a concert and decided to make a stop before heading home. Glad we did. The monument is obviously great for photo ops, but there is also a really nice display below with history and artifacts. Nice store and clean restrooms. We didn’t have time to take the ride up to the top. Hoping we can on the next visit.

A fantastic experience if you find yourself in Saint Louis, this is one of the more impressive man-made national monuments that I’ve seen. The park is excellent, and if you get the chance to go up to the top in the tram, I would absolutely take it. And if the gift shop is your thing, know that it is extensive.

Amazing architecture! Free museum underground very interesting at the bottom! I would plan a couple hours here to see everything and relax and enjoy and there's even a nice cafeteria downstairs. Bring a jacket it's cold inside
