The Gateway Arch features the Tram Ride to the Top, the Museum at the Gateway Arch, the documentary film Monument to the Dream, The Arch Store and The Arch Café. Visitors must enter the monument at the west entrance plaza, which faces the Old Courthouse; the Arch legs are exits only. Entrance to the visitor center and museum is free.

The Tram Ride to the Top of the Arch sells out early and often. Visitors are strongly encouraged to purchase their tram ride tickets in advance at gatewayarch.com/buy-tickets and should arrive at least 30 minutes ahead of their scheduled tram time.
