The arch is far more impressive than I ever thought it would be. However, I didn't bother to go up in it. I wouldn't mind going back, but I probably won't make it a priority unless I'm with someone who hasn't been there yet.

St. Louis itself is beautiful, detailed, and possesses an immense historical depth. Seeing it from a tiny window doesn't do it justice... Unless you just like skylines. I chose to use my money and time experiencing the city from below. Whatever way you choose to experience STL, you'll be good. Just watch out for high-crime areas.
