My family enjoyed The Gateway Arch. The line for the team ride up was handled by well by the staff and the ranger at the top was kind. Fun ride up and down. It was the day after Thanksgiving and the several hundred visitors were courteous and patient. I imagine summertime would be much busier and crowded. The view from the top was amazing. There were 12 in my group including 2 toddlers and a baby.
Very awesome! Go during the day because it's a little difficult to get to at night. We drove in circles about 6 times. It was worth seeing at night with all the lights glowing as well as during the day. Amazing structure, with a nice little visitor's center behind it. You can take a ride in it. A little difficult for handicap since we couldn't find handicap parking, and it's a long, uphill walk. It took a strong, kind policeman to get my husband's wheelchair up the hill.
Such an iconic monument. In the visitors center beneath the arch is a theater that shows a movie about the construction of the arch which I found very fascinating.
Incredible experience! Beautiful, historical structure. A treat to be able to ride to the top. Pro tip: tickets much be purchased at the old courthouse. Quick ride to the top for unlimited viewing time. Informative video, friendly tour guides, gift shops & informative wall. Such a treat!
You may spend as much time at the top as you like looking out the small windows.
The ride to the top takes four minutes in an egg shaped pod with 5 people in it. The pod rotates 155 degrees as it travels to the top over 600 feet in the air.
It was a highlight of our visit to St. Louis
Very nice visitor center and the arch is awesome. The park around the arch is also a great place to take a walk. It is quite a sight to stand under the arch and look up and see how tall it is. The visitor center under the arch is very well maintained and very informative. Lots of displays depicting the history of the area. They also have a great gift shop.
