ST. LOUIS — If you've been wanting to visit St. Louis' most iconic landmark, Saturday, April 20 is the perfect opportunity to visit the Gateway Arch for a little less.
While admission is always free to the museum and visitor center at the Gateway Arch National Park, tram rides to the top of the Arch and tickets to its documentary movie are not. A $3 fee is applied to the cost of each ticket and goes toward the National Park Service to help maintain the park and enhance visitors' experience.
For the first day of National Park Week, which spans April 20-28 this year, National Park Service fees will be waived at the Gateway Arch and all other National Park sites throughout the U.S.
On the fee-free day, Arch tram rides will be discounted from $15 to $12 for adults, and documentary tickets will be discounted from $7 to $4 for adults.
Other upcoming fee-free days for 2024 include:
- June 19 - Juneteenth
- Aug. 4 - Anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act
- Sept. 28 - National Public Lands Day
- Nov. 11 - Veterans Day
