What People Are Saying About Gateway Arch

The Scene – Part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, the Gateway Arch marks the entrance to the American West. The Old Courthouse and the Museum of Westward Expansion are also on the grounds, and together they make a great day of St. Louis sightseeing. – – The Experience – Consider standing in the usually long line for a tram ride to the top of the 630-foot arch, where you can spend up to an hour with the view. This seven-minute ride at the nation's tallest monument is fairly slow and not at all scary, so don't be afraid to give it a go. If you do suffer…

Becky and Wanda
by moptopandroll
The Arch is a great place for visitors or locals to re-visit. I have been several times. The view is great. Not meant for the closterphobic person. The ride to the top is a little scary, but well worth the wait. Here in St. Louis we have these commercials with Becky and Wanda flying around on a magic carpet by the Arch. Someday I hope the carpet runs out of magic.
- Pros: view, view, view
- Cons: elevators, dont serve beer

hte gateway to the west
by homer910_37110
my reviews of the arch is that it is a great place to visit ,a great place to take the family and learn about our history of the west and the history of the building of the arch. but there needs to be a cprrections in the ETA of the tram ride to the top of the ride. it only takes about 7 mins. to ride to the top and about 5 mins. to ride back down. but it may take awhile to acctualy get on the tram, but it is worth the wait.
- Pros: inexpensive, historic, good parking
- Cons: crowded(weekends)
