I came here years ago with my family for the movie and tram tour and everything was well priced and we learned a lot and had fun as a family. We recently visited again and were a little disappointed to realize how much of the parking/tours/services had been contracted out to private companies. There was no free parking and the private ($8) parking was about a mile away from the Arch itself. The tour was a little too pricy and the whole experience was just a little bit disappointing compared to the first time we came. Still a fun, educational experience-just be ready to walk!
