The museum was very informative! Great way to wait for the tour to the top. The film was pretty cool, too. It was documenting the building of the Arch in the 60s, so it's a blast from the past. I got very nervous watching them up there with no safety harness or anything!! Only downside was the waits on the tour itself. We waited 45min past our ticket time to actually get up top. They try to fill it with interesting tour type information, but it's a lot of standing. Also, stairs are inevitable, so it you have trouble with them, it's worth thinking about. The little pods are very cramped, so try out the sample in the lobby before deciding if it will freak you out. Up top was hot and packed with people. It was not very enjoyable as a result. We waited a long time to be able to get back into a pod to go back down, too. Maybe try a slower day for a better experience.
