Jefferson National Parks Association Reviews

I'm very impressed by the renovation of the museum from what it was when I last went before it turned into a National Park.

It's great place to take the family and learn and see exciting things.

Parking is all to far from the Arch grounds. Especially when you have difficulty breathing. Otherwise it's very nice.

Very beautiful monument , great place to walk and take in the areas history.

I did not go to the Museum, because this visit was on New Year's Day. However, I am a regular visitor to the Riverfront in St. Louis, as I love to watch the water level rise and fall. If you are down there at just the right time in the early morning, you will meet a wonderful gentleman who travels up and down the Mississippi River manually changing the signage, by hand, that publishes the last measured water level at that site.

Really good museum. The kids loved the arch! Good clean family fun!

Loved it super nice museum inside great food as well lots of keepsake shopping items. Worth the stop. Spent a few how's looking around at the wonderful displays. Friendly park rangers awesome

The new Arch grounds, Museum, and Greenery are beautiful and Incredibly well done. What a tribute to add to the enhancement of our beautiful city.

Wonder tourist spot and also great if you just want to get away and relax.

Wonderful history in St Louis great place to walk around and listen to the Blues

Simply fantastic! This truly is a place for the whole family.

Disappointed we got there to late to go into museum or gift shop. Plaza is beautiful.

It is a museum so lots of interesting things to see and interact with

Phenomenal experience. We didnt pre purchase tickets and waited about ab hour and a half for our rode on a Sunday during spring break. That gave us enough time to tour the extensive museum below. The place is really nice underneath. There is plenty to do with interactive exhibits as well as a HUGE gift shop.

Beautiful museum. It is more about general history then the arch. By general history I mean Lewis and Clark and expeditions. We were expecting arch information.

Awesome ride to the top! Fantastic movie ( watch it first). Great museum. Skip the boat ride.

It was neat & clean, well managed with helpful attendents.

The museum is free which is great for people not looking to spend alot of money!

Excellent museum I wish we had spent more time here and really dig into the information. Great example of a historic museum geared to kids and adults. Very reasonable souvenirs.

Its something you won't see anywhere else in the world.

Excellent FREE attraction. Like most places parking can be a headache . Don t spend too much time looking for street parking and try to parallel park in front , just pay the $10 for the garage and take the short walk. Once in side it s quiet and cool and you can take your time going through the small historic museum . It will show you the early days of St. Louis as well as the history of the arch . Self guided tour but still informative. Restaurants and clean restrooms inside

I was shocked at the lack of organization with regards to entering and exiting the pods that ferry you up to the top. Overall, a joy to visit!

O! M! G! This monument is incredible! The pictures do not do it justice. This is such an amazing piece of engineering and design. So simple and yet so complex. Thank God our for fathers made this structure possible so it can be enjoyed for many generations to come. This is a must see and going to the top to see the views from the windows is unbelievable. People even get married up there. The museum is very well put together as well. All that being said I would give this 10 stars if I could.

We like this place. LOTS of information and history. Take your kids, your family, and friends. Everyone needs to learn about St Louis and the Arch.

The Arch is massive & beautiful. Arrived too late to visit the museum. Very nice & clean park along the water, very peaceful.

It is always a pleasure to stop by the park. Even though parking is a bit tough it is a real joy to see this monument.
An interesting note is that my father a young architect then, worked for Eero Saarinen and was on his design team for the arch. Even though he was not directly involved in the structural or mechanical portion of the Arch he did work on the interior design of the original visitors center. as well as the design of the two original entryways
My father had a concept of having a pond in the foyer of the original visitors center to highlight the native fish of the Mississippi River.
My father moved west and has designed some very high profile building in the Northwest and Alaska.

The grounds are beautiful but access to them is a little bit tough since they've put all the barriers up and close some roads. It's worth going to if you can get there. Ran into some bike riders that were riding their bicycles from the arch area along the river all the way to old Chain of Rocks Bridge. They said it was 12 miles on paved pathways.

Can't wait to visit when the new museum is completed!

The iconic arch is a fantastic monument for St. Louis. The small park where the memorial is located has a very trail you can walk around right along the Mississippi river. You can also visit the Gateway Arch up close. For the more brave souls you can ride up a very small elevator capsule to see a view from the top of the gateway arch. It is a VERY small space and the arch does sway. The unfortunate part is the amount of construction currently going on in front of the arch.

Beautiful place. Felt perfectly safe when we were there.

Great, informative museum. Kids and adults loved it.

Very informative and definitely a place everyone should visit.

Trump shutdown didn't allow anyone to visit. Can he be impeached already?

The line to get in was a 3 - 4 hour wait. There was no way to truly discern which line was for the museum entry and which line was to purchase tickets to go up into the arch.

This place was pretty cool. I really liked to just be able to walk around and learn so much history about so much of the area that most people have no idea that any of it ever took place or even existed.

It s below the arch and it was free to the public, I WOULD go back.

Beautiful landmark, its like 2 Washington Monuments stuck together

First time visiting the area. Enjoyed walking around the park. The Arch was amazing!

Very clean and decently priced. Unclear on whether or not they have military discount though.

Parking is very difficult get there early .. helicopter tours fairy tours on the river it's a blast

Amazing structure and old architecture around. The Old Church and Court House are amazing also!!! Good time to be there, as not very many people were there, plenty of photo opportunities!!

Such a neat museum, that was fun for the family to go see.

Excellent view of the Arch and St. Louis. A bit difficult to find, and my wife was a bit worried about the neighborhood's we were driving through, but we had no problems.

Another monument... not my bag, but can officially cross it off after so many St Louis trips

Great museum and gift shop. There's an arch here, too!

They have metal detectors before you can enter the museum.
