I enjoyed the ride to the top and the view from the top. I think the whole family would enjoy the arch. The only thing everyone has to remember is not to carry any knifes or guns as they will be confiscated.
Personaly i like the spring and fall for my trips to the arch.But even in the winter there are tons of things to do! The large park grounds Are beautifully manicured.Its design can give a couple the feeling of privacy.There have been countless marrage proposals.The Horse and carrage rids are lovely!The underground museum is a treat itself with ...

Arch Madness
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/01/05
Arch, in St Louis., Mo is the gateway to the West !!!
It is truly a must see for tourists, also you can take a elevator, to the top.
made of stainless steel, it moves 6-12 inches on top, when wind is strong really wild to be on top,I live in Fenton, Mo app 25 miles from downtown,
all visitors must see the Arch, especially at night when lights are on !!!
The Arch is more than a trip to the top. They have a wonderful museum below the ground of the Arch. They have the history of when the Arch was built, why and how it was built. They also have Native American history, with some of the old western blended in. The story tellers are great for the kids. The story teller, dresses for ...

to the top we go
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/01/05
the great view from the top is great specially after the scary ride inside those capsouls. But it is worth it. It not that scarry. I have enjoyed every bit of it. The meusium at the ground floor will keep you busy during waitting time untile your turn comes up to go to the top.

Love that arch
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/30/05
What a view..You can see forever. Only thing, if it is a little windy, you kind of sway back and forth! This is an entire family outing thing, they will all love it.
You can't visit St. Louis without going to the Arch, it is the symbol of this great city! Without it we may only be known for our beer (though that may not be too bad). The view from the arch is unforgettable, a must see!
A must stop for anyone going close to this. Well worth the time it may take and gives you a bird eye view once on top so bring your camera for some nice shots.
The Gateway Arch is one of the most impressive monuments I have ever seen. It's a beautiful structure, and I'm amazed at how it can stand on just two points. Of course, we went to the top, and the view is fine, but I just enjoy looking at it.
The field and park that the arch lies on is a wonderful place, and the way it is next to the river is fantastic.
It's a great momument, and I would go back.
