History and Features
The Gateway Arch is the nation's tallest manmade monument. Trams transport visitors to the top for a bird’s eye view of the Mississippi River and the downtown area. In the Museum of Westward Expansion under the Arch, discover what it was like for Lewis and Clark to explore lands once ruled by buffalo and Native American tribes. A documentary movie recounting how the Arch was built and giant screen movies are also available.

Riverboat cruises and bicycle rentals are also available on the Riverfront. For more information, visit http://www.gatewayarch.com
