Visitors can ascend to the observation deck at the top in a specially designed tram.

  • You mean to tell me nobody could think of anything nice to say about this incredible engineering marvel? What a beautiful tribute to the pioneering spirit of our ancestors. I did not get the chance to go into this structure. What a dissappointment.
  • I left a message on the square surrounding this one. I love the Gateway Arch. It's a great tribute. It's a pleasure to visit. Make sure you go to the museum underneath.
  • I like the continuous loop track inside the arch that carries pods of people up to the top. AND no one got killed building it
  • It is beautiful,I will be there sometime
