About
Standing 630 feet tall, the Gateway Arch, our nation’s tallest man-made monument, anchors Gateway Arch National Park and symbolizes our pioneering spirit. The iconic experience includes the tram ride to the top, the free museum at the bottom, a 35-minute documentary, a virtual-reality experience, cruises aboard the Riverboats at the Gateway Arch and helicopter rides over the city. Get your tickets online, by phone or in person at the Gateway Arch ticket center. Tram tickets sell out early and often – advance tickets are strongly recommended. Please allow at least 30 minutes to go through security. Please note: Nearby experiences including the Riverboats at the Gateway Arch and Gateway Helicopter Tours will also be available to visit as well.How to Bookend Your Visit to the Gateway Arch
