Arch blocks set up in front of the real Gateway Arch

Gateway Arch National Park consists of the Gateway Arch itself, the free history museum under it, the 90 acres of beautiful landscape that surround it, and the Old Courthouse, which was already 100 years old when the arch was built. It has been a unit of the National Park Service since 1935, when 40 city blocks were designated Jefferson National Expansion Memorial by Roosevelt's Executive Order 7253. In 2018, the park was renamed Gateway Arch National Park by an Act of Congress.

Many visitors enjoy riding to the top of the Gateway Arch. Tickets are available through our park partner, Bistate Development.

Both the Gateway Arch and the Old Courthouse have free museums and Junior Ranger programs.
