Gateway Arch and the Museum of Westward Expansion
All visitors must pass through a secure checkpoint into the Visitor Center. Please allow extra time to enter.
Thomas Jefferson's vision of the spread of freedom and democracy from "sea to shining sea" inspired Eero Saarinen's masterpiece of modern design. The 630 foot stainless steel Gateway Arch reflects St. Louis' role as the gateway to the West.
Visitors to the Gateway Arch can tour the Museum of Westward Expansion, ride the tram to the top, and watch the movies Lewis and Clark: Great Journey West and Monument to the Dream.
