Ride to the Top of the Gateway Arch
Have you ever taken a tram ride up to the top of the Gateway Arch? If you’re afraid of heights, this may not be the best activity for you since the Arch is over 630 feet tall. However, if heights are your thing, it offers a great view of the city that you can’t find anywhere else!
Eat Ice Cream on the St. Louis Arch Grounds
After touring the Laclede’s Landing Wax Museum that has over 250 life-size wax figures of your favorite celebrities and historical figures, grab some ice cream to go and snack on it at the Gateway Arch National Park grounds!
Remember to pack a blanket if you want to lay on the grass. If you forget it, no worries! There are plenty of benches to sit on at the Arch grounds as well.
