The arch is one of those places you have to see for yourself to truly appreciate the massive scope of it. Looking at the outside of it, my offspring almost fainted at the sheer size of it - appx 630 feet tall. That being said:

PARKING: If you arrive before 9am, you only pay $4 to park in the Arch garage no matter when you leave inside of the 9 ...

The Gateway Arch should not be missed. Although I would recommend going early if you are there in peak tourist season. We got there before 9 and just breezed through security, tickets and right up to the top without much crowd. But when we left an hour or so later it was really starting to get crowded and I saw alot of line standing. I took 2 of ...

Being in St. Louis, the ARch, riverboat McDonald's, Zoo, and maybe th brewery are about the only fun thing to do here, in my opinion.
This was my third time to ride the arch,I had an e-ticket. They put me on the arch at the time I got there, I did not have to wait. I road up in a tram by myself, which I enjoyed. I looked out of each window. ...

The museum is the most enjoyable part of visiting the arch. It's a journey of Lewis & Clark with stories of what they came up against, and things they discovered. If you like American History, it's wonderful and Free. The trip to the top of the arch is a little pricey if you have an entire family. You go to the top in a little pod, ...

I work at the Arch, so here are some tips...Go early! The museum and grounds open at 9am. Buy your tickets online if you can. Expect to spend about an hour altogether waiting in line for the tram, going up, looking around up top, and coming down. $3.00 of your fee to go up in the tram is for National Park services, so if you have an NPS pass, ...

I loved visiting St. Louis and the Gateway Arch for the first time. Unfortunatly, it was sold out when I tried to buy a ticket. The atmosphere is wonderful, full of respectful tourists and locals. Parking is easy and there are plenty of things to do in walking distance.

I like the Arch. Lol. I love how friendly everyone is and if you do go, be sure to keep big bags and belts in the car. It's like going thru the airport. If you're claustrophoic (spelling?) but if you are, you get in a VERY small pod.
