Ever wonder how I got to be such a big deal?
Get the full story with the Builder’s View combo ticket! Pair a Tram Ride to the Top with a screening of “Monument to the Dream,” the documentary that takes you behind the scenes of my construction. Trust me, the making of an icon is worth watching.

Every architectural icon needs a front door to match. Here's mine, which faces the equally iconic Old Courthouse in Gateway Arch National Park.
Did you know the only entrances and exits at the Arch used to be near the base of its legs? Those are still exits, but now the only entrance to the Gateway Arch Visitor Center is this one, which sits just a few hundred feet west of the Arch.

I considered dressing up for Halloween, but apparently, being 630 feet tall and covered in stainless steel is already a pretty strong look.
🎂🎉 Happy birthday to me! I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone today, 61 years after my final piece was put into place and construction was completed.
Come take a Tram Ride to the Top, visit the free Museum under the Gateway Arch or just come see me and the 91 acres of @GatewayArchNPS grounds around me!
The leaves aren’t the only thing looking good this season. 🍂 Value Days make it easier to take in the fall views from the top for less.
During Value Days, tram tickets are just $15 for adults and $11 for kids. That's a more than 20% discount compared to peak season pricing.
Value Days pricing is available nearly every Monday through Thursday in October, November and December. Check the calendar at hubs.li/Q04C5YhL0 to book your adventure!
Save this post as a reminder to move those Arch plans up the list on Oct. 27 and Nov. 11.
Those are Fee-Free Days at Gateway Arch National Park, and they offer a little more value packed into your visit. On these days, the park waives the $3 entrance fee normally included with adult Tram Ride to the Top and adult Documentary Movie tickets.
Take advantage of the deals before they sell out and treat yourself to a trip to the top and the movies.
I’m used to being the one everyone looks up at. But this Saturday, I’ll share the spotlight for a @gatewayarchnps stargazing event 🌕
The Gateway to the Stars series continues on Oct. 24 at 6:30pm with stories of various “incarnations” of the park grounds, and the fortunes and misfortunes of historical figures such as Eero Saarinen, James Eads, Thomas Targee, Percy Green, and Kenneth Swyers. The group will meet at the Entrance Plaza outside the Gateway Arch Visitor Center.
The ranger-guided event concludes with free telescope viewing of the moon!
🪨📃✂️ Who’s the winner?
I say everyone who has been to @gatewayarchnps recently and took a Tram Ride to the Top is the real winner 🙌 Plan your Gateway Arch adventure soon!
