Before you go

Book the Gateway Arch tram if the view is a priority. The museum and grounds still give the area a proper visit without the tram.
Do not try to do the zoo, art museum, science center, and the entire park in a single day. Forest Park is an area, not one attraction.

Confirm current access, hours, reservations, and conditions with Official Gateway Arch and Museum at the Gateway Arch information.
