Planning an educational trip or have a group with a desire to learn more? Schedule some extra time in our recently renovated Museum at the Gateway Arch. Your group will definitely thank you for the experience.
The doors near the Arch legs are now exit only, guests must enter through the west entrance. We recommend that visitors exit near the Arch legs to experience the vantage point from under the Arch and have an opportunity to touch the monument.

The Riverfront Cruise departs every 1.5 hours (March to November). The daily riverboat schedule depends on the time of the year.
