The tallest monument in America will become the spookiest monument when the Gateway Arch transforms into a family-friendly Halloween party full of tricks and treats. Kids may want to bring some jokes (because that’s how St. Louis trick-or-treats) and we will supply gift bags for all to collect candy throughout the evening!

Frights & Heights features:

  • Trick or Tram: Experience scary sights on the one-of-a-kind 630-foot ride to the top of the Arch.
  • Freaky Face Painting: Look hauntingly good after a little makeover from one of our face painters.
  • Boo-loon Animals: Bring your favorite creepy crawlers to life.
  • Freaky Fudge: If you’ve got the guts for it, try some Halloween-themed specialty fudge flavors.
  • Creepy Crafts: Express yourself on your very own pumpkin craft and more.
  • Live Music: A Halloween dance party with a DJ will take over the Arch mezzanine.
  • Puppet Shows in the Tucker Theater: Lewis and Clark describe their adventure in the west and share some spooky and true stories from the trails (showtimes: 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.; 20-minute show).
  • Free Cruise: Every child will receive a free one-hour St. Louis Riverfront Cruise ticket from the Riverboats at the Gateway Arch.
  • Share on Social Media: Share a photo of your costume or your time at Freights & Heights with #FrightsandHeights, and tag @GatewayArchSTL on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Candy will be distributed to children. Family-friendly costumes are encouraged. (No weapons, real or pretend. Costume masks must be removed for the security checkpoint.)
