Gateway Arch National Park | American Tour Association

A PLACE TO REMEMBER

Make room for the wonder.

The Gateway Arch brings national park exploration into the city. Pair the riverfront setting with the museum’s stories, and decide whether your group would like to add the separately ticketed tram experience.

Choose the stops that suit your time and your party. These are ideas for exploring, rather than a fixed itinerary or a promise that every road, trail or facility will be open.

Before you set out

Reserve timed activities and check security procedures. Tram cars have specific physical-access limitations; ask about alternatives for your group.

Give the day room

Allow time for the approach, parking and breaks. Pick walks for the least mobile members of your party, and leave space for weather or a change of plans.

Bring your group

Confirm vehicle access, drop-off and parking with the park. Check any guided tours, transport and accessibility arrangements before fixing the rest of the itinerary.
