Visiting the Gateway Arch without a trip to its top is like a eating a banana split minus the whipped cream. Depending on the time of year, over 6,000 people take one of two trams to the top every day. The south leg tram flashes back to the 19 th century and the era of steamboats and bustling mercantilism. The north leg tram allows travelers to experience the riverfront of 1965, when construction workers connected the two legs of this architectural wonder. Once you reach the top, you can see beautiful views of downtown St. Louis , the Mississippi , and the Illinois landscape. Trams leave every 10 minutes from 9:20 a.m.-5:10 p.m. in the Winter (Labor Day-Memorial Day) and 8:20 a.m.-9:10 p.m. in the Summer (Memorial Day-Labor Day). Admission: $10 for adults, $7 for youths, and $3 for children.
