Ride the tram to the top of the Gateway Arch for a one-of-a-kind view over St. Louis. Board one of the small capsule cars and make the curving journey up the inside of the arch to the observation deck at the very top. From 630 feet up, peer out over the Mississippi River, the city skyline, and the sprawling grounds below. It's a memorable, slightly futuristic ride and an iconic stop you won't find anywhere else.

Set sail on a Gateway Arch Riverboat Cruise for a relaxed trip along the Mississippi. Glide down the river aboard a classic paddlewheel-style boat, taking in views of the arch towering overhead and the St. Louis waterfront rolling by. Learn a bit about the river's history and role in shaping the city as you cruise, and just settle in and enjoy the easygoing pace from the water. It's a scenic, low-key way to see the landmark from a whole new angle.
