My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves here . It really is a beautiful place. The only drawback is the parking...
You have to find parking in the city nearby as the arch has no parking on site so there's a lot of walking. We parked on the south end and found two adjacent parking lots across from each other and parking was only $10.00. Everyone else was charging way more and no security. Granted we had to walk a half hour but we found a cute Mexican restaurant to enjoy a couple of cold beers and a appetizer to help us on our short journey to the arch via the riverfront park which was completely overhauled and what a remarkable sight. It was absolutely beautiful. Lots of beautiful landscaping freshly manicured grass and clean pathways . A great place to spend time with your furry friends. The arch is a exciting and a remarkable work of wonder with a fantastic history behind its creation. For all you veterans and disabled persons make sure you have your VA card so you can sign up for a free Access pass to all national parks and federal recreation lands pass. This is located at the main central lobby between the museum and the entrance to the arch.
To reach the top of the arch you'll have to squeeze into a 4 person bubble lift and believe me it's a tight fit and watch your head, make sure that you lower it upon entering . If you served in the Navy you will feel right at home.
Your ETA is only 5 minutes to the top and a 4 minute descent. The view at the top is breathtaking. So have your camera ready and prepare to be amazed.
