Took my 7 year old up in the arch for the first time and although he was a bit apprehensive on the ride up he loved it. It was a bit overcast that day but when we were at the top we still had amazing views of the area.

My six year old son wanted to go up the Arch, so we rode the little elevator up. It only took about 4 minutes to get to the top and we could stay up as long as we wanted too. No dislikes.

Never miss an opportunity to bring your out of town guest for a visit. Visit the museum for some good MO history and spend the extra money to see how it was built or buy the DVD either way its fun to see how it was put together. The space age eggs you ride up in are fun but if... More

This was my toddlers' first visit to the Arch, and they were spellbound. That in itself was worth the trip to St.Louis. Riding the tram to the top of the arch convinced them that they were traveling in a space ship, with a possible moon landing about to follow.

This is another must do for those in St. Louis, The view from the top is just incredible. The museum and bookstore at the base of the Arch are very informative and provide many souvenirs to help remember your trip to the top of teh 630 foot arch. Security is tight, so please be prepared to remove all metal objects... More

I'm claustrophobic, but was able to share the tram pod with four others to get to the top of the arch without a twitch. What a great view! You can see the... More

Be prepared to walk and spend several hours there touring the arch. The day we visited it had to be rushed due to our plans for the afternoon and evening. As a result we didn't get to see all of it, but what we did it was very impressive and well worth the visit.

I booked tickets a month in advance and had no issue checking in. There is a significant wait to ride the tram to the top. The tram cars are very tiny, each holding five people. If you are claustrophobic it is not for you. The windows at the top are little and it was very crowded. The city is not... More

Wonderful experience as everyone else has stated in their reviews. The museum is free and is great to tour through if you are interested in the Lewis and Clark exploration and settlement of the West. Plan on spending at least an hour for the elevator ride up to the top of the Arch especially if it is busy. The ticket... More
