What a beautiful "thing" (is it a sculpture or a building or...). I was absentmindedly driving into St Louis around sunset and up pops this arch and I thought to myself "whoa that is cool". I also dangerously took a photo from my moving vehicle but stopping and actually going into it was way smarter.

Price for the tram seems really affordable compared to other similar attractions. View from the top of a clear night at sunset was phenomenal. Ranger at the top was talking about how crazy it gets when lightning hits the arch and you're in the top part. Lucky you if you get to experience it.

There's a nice museum with gobs of exhibits I couldn't get to in the half hour before they closed. Might want to get there before 445 :)

Grounds are very nice with interpretative signs in a beautiful spot along the river. Safe at night

Highly recommended
