Riverboats at the Gateway Arch COVID-19 Update: As we continue to monitor and assess the evolving health situation and follow guidance from federal and local health departments, we plan to re-introduce our cruise lineup slowly and carefully. At this time, the Riverboats at the Gateway Arch will only offer the one-hour St. Louis Riverfront Cruise. When we deem it appropriate, we will re-introduce other cruise experiences.

Gateway Arch visitors must enter the monument through the new west entrance, which faces Fourth Street and the Old Courthouse. The Gateway Arch legs have become exits only. Tram tickets will sell out early and often - advance tickets are strongly recommended. Please allow at least 30 minutes to go through security.

The new Museum at the Gateway Arch will open on July 3, 2018! Join us at the new West Entrance for a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10 am. Following the ribbon cutting, the museum and will be open to the public! There will be a celebration in the North Gateway park area after the ceremony with food trucks, games, live music and more!
