Your trip to the top of me starts at the bottom — but there’s only one way in. And if you didn’t know, my entrance is at the Visitor Center facing downtown.🚪🌆 Stop by and visit! #gatewayarch #tramridetothetop #gatewayarchnationalpark #stl

A great view starts with a great parking spot. 👀🚘 Lucky for you, I can provide both whenever you visit: gatewayarch.com/parking via #linkinbio

Spend a day with me, the tallest monument in the US! #gatewayarch #gatewayarchnationalpark #tramridetothetop #museum #vr #movie #documentary #riverboatsstl #nationalpark #hiking #cruise #stl #stlouis

You know me for the skyline views. But underneath all this stainless steel, there's tons of fun in the FREE Museum at @gatewayarchnps. It's 200+ years of St. Louis history where you can play, learn and fully embrace your main-character tourist moment.

It's starting to feel like summer, so I think my cover photo needs to match. Tell me which one is your favorite and vote in the comments!

Who doesn’t love a grand entrance?

📹 View of the Gateway Arch and St. Louis skyline driving over the river into Missouri. The cuts to a gorgeous golden hour view of the entrance to the Gateway Arch visitor center.

Summer post card views of St. Louis don’t get better than @gatewayarchnps!

📹 Timelapse looking up at the Gateway Arch with clouds rolling in a blue sky and people walking around the grounds of Gateway Arch National Park.

Fresh air. A little perspective. And a view that makes you stop and take it all in.

That’s a pretty strong way to spend Memorial Day without spending more. Monday, May 25 is Fee Free Day, which means the $3 @gatewayarchnps fee is waived on Adult Tram Ride to the Top & Adult Documentary Movie tickets! Book in advance before we sell out!

The stars are out, my lights are down, and the birds appreciate it.

Join the first Gateway to the Stars event tonight at 7pm in the Education Classroom inside @gatewayarchnps visitor center. The program will feature Matt Barton of the St. Louis Audubon Society to discuss the effects buildings and lights can have on bird migration. It's the reason I keep my lights off this month.

Like all Gateway to the Stars events, program is free to attend and will be followed by a telescope viewing (weather permitting)

The unofficial start of summer has officially started. That means more time for you to take my Tram Ride to the Top, explore the free Museum under @gatewayarchnps and my other activities below!

My extended summer hours begin today, open from 9am - 8pm every Friday & Saturday through Labor Day, with regular hours of 9am - 6pm on Sunday through Thursday.

It’s hard not to take 10,000 photos of a design as enigmatic as Gateway Arch, but after looking for the best views and angles, this one is tops!

How to find this view:
1️⃣ From the Gateway Arch plaza, head south on the trails toward the reflecting pool
2️⃣ Go to the trail on the west side of the reflecting pool
3️⃣ About halfway along the length of the pool, there’s a small grassy peninsula with a few trees.
Stand among the trees, and you’ll find this view! 🤩 Save this post so you don’t forget to visit this part of @gatewayarchnps

Should I share all the other good views I found during my trip? Gimme a 👍🏻 in the comments and I’ll share a gallery of all of them tomorrow! #gatewayarch #explorestlouis
