Gateway Arch

Planning a big trip, with a big group? I was built for big moments like that.

Bring the whole crew and I’ll make it a day they won’t forget.

You know me for the skyline views. But underneath all this stainless steel, there's tons of fun in the FREE Museum at Gateway Arch National Park. It's 200+ years of St. Louis history where you can play, learn and fully embrace your main-character tourist moment.

It's starting to feel like summer, so I think my cover photo needs to match. Tell me which one is your favorite and vote in the comments!

The stars are out, my lights are down, and the birds appreciate it.

Join the first Gateway to the Stars event tonight at 7pm in the Education Classroom inside the Gateway Arch National Park visitor center. The program will feature Matt Barton of the St. Louis Audubon Society to discuss the effects buildings and lights can have on bird migration. It's the reason I keep my lights off this month.

Like all Gateway to the Stars events, program is free to attend and will be followed by a telescope viewing (weather permitting): https://hubs.li/Q04hGwhz0

The unofficial start of summer has officially started. That means more time for you to take my Tram Ride to the Top, explore the free Museum under Gateway Arch National Park and my other activities below!

My extended summer hours begin today, open from 9am - 8pm every Friday & Saturday through Labor Day, with regular hours of 9am - 6pm on Sunday through Thursday.

If you think the first 100 feet of me looks cool, just wait until you see next 530 feet above.

On this day 177 years ago, the Great Fire burned 15 city blocks along the St. Louis riverfront and destroyed 23 steamboats. It happened where Gateway Arch National Park now sits, during a time when St. Louis was the third busiest port in America

Come learn more about the Great Fire of 1849 in the “Riverfront Era” exhibit in my museum below.

Before school’s out and everyone suddenly remembers they need something fun to do, here are a few reminders that will help you stay ahead of my crowds.

1️⃣ The one and only entrance is on the west side of the Arch.
2️⃣ Purchase your Tram Ride to the Top tickets early ... I sell out daily!

You can thank me later.
