  • The tram cars are small pod-shaped vehicles; those with claustrophobia should be aware

  • Security screening is required before entering the tram area

  • The surrounding national park grounds are free to access

  • St. Louis has a wealth of free world-class museums in Forest Park

Best Times to Travel

April through October for the best weather and river cruise availability. Summer is peak season — expect larger crowds. Spring and fall offer ideal conditions for exploring the surrounding park and riverfront.

Motor coaches can drop groups at the designated visitor area near the arch grounds. Holiday Coach recommends pairing the Gateway Arch with a visit to Forest Park's free museums (St. Louis Art Museum, St. Louis Zoo) for a full multi-day itinerary.
