Visiting the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri

On our way North we took the detour over to St. Louis to visit the Gateway Arch and add the stamps to our book. We had a small amount of time planned here so we kind of rushed through the museum area, but certainly enjoyed walking through the park and seeing the mazing engineering feat of the Arch!

    As noted many times in the comments, the trip to the top of the Arch is pretty cool! If you stop by again, the museums in Forest Park (not far from downtown) are nice, and the Museum of Transport has a huge collection of locomotives and rail cars. They even have one of the Big Boy locomotives! On a similar rail theme, near Chicago is the Illinois Rail Museum. They operate a handful of locomotives and cars on their grounds. Pretty fun to watch them fire up their steam locomotive and operate it.

    seriously while you're there you should have gone up in it. that's why I clicked on the video 🤣 look here I am terrified of heights and I went up in it 1995 and it was just a swaying back and forth. people have said it only does it on Windy days but I'm here to tell you it was not windy that day. but I don't regret it one little bit. it's a must-do attraction p.s. I did watch all the way through. but🤔 I'm calling a foul on the two of you. Getting your stamp and not even going up in the arch😩😲😱🥺🤪

    I've been to the top of the arch ... on a VERY windy day! If the wind gusts had been any stronger, it would have been closed. Yes, it moves a lot in wind. Very discomfited feeling.

    It's a good thing you went during the day, not a good place to be at night, very dangerous. I'm disappointed you didn't ride to the top, it's an awesome view.

    Haven't read all the comments, but a bit of trivia in case no one else has mentioned it: The Statue of Liberty on her pedestal goes up about half of one of the legs, and The Washington Monument in DC would slide perfectly underneath The Gateway Arch. It is the tallest man-made monument in the United States. Having grown up here, I didn't appreciate its beauty till I moved away & came back. Glad you made this video. I hope you choose to return and go up inside. In order to look out the portals at the top, you have to lean down and are essentially over the edge of the arch. You can feel it swaying back & forth in the breeze. Did it once; won't do it again lol. Cheers.

    Thanks for sharing buddy I don’t blame you for not going up I have selective fear of heights I can climb some stuff and not others like a roof on a house I get freaked out bad just getting on the ladder but I can climb up a 30+ foot grain bin and open the lid on top lol

    You guys probably aren't around St Louis anymore, but while I was in the area I visited Meramec Caverns. That was quite beautiful and we had a very nice guide. So maybe a little tip for you :). Have fun!

    Was just there Wednesday guys!!! Pulled our 26ft Winnebago down thru the empty warehouses to the riverfront and made it to the parking lot where we backed the TT down the steeeeeeeppppp embankment on the cobblestones and got back onto the narrow little road then backed our rig up over the hump and that was far enough..... took a few pictures of the rig sitting under the arch . My Pop's is 87yrs young and that's all he needed to see. Tell the folks to be very AWARE when visiting this beautiful arch... Many homeless, tent dwellers under the bridges getting to it. Off to the Badlands we go!!

    I already knew because my family used to live in St. Louis, Missouri please enjoy your trip. The popular street bridge is bumper to bumper traffic when events are in town.

    I visited the Arch 20-25 years ago and took the tram to the top. I was lighter and smaller then; the tram was do-able, but cramped. The views from the top are incredible. You can really appreciate the significance of the Mississippi River when you see it from above. Adam, glad you took notice of the welded stainless steel. It takes a machinist/fabricator/welder such as yourself to appreciate what it took to build the Arch.
