went there in 2021, super clear day so we could see far into Illinois and over to what I was told was Clayton, Mo. Time up top was limited to less than 10 mins due to us coming out of the rona restrictions. A place I've always wanted to visit.
I've only been in it once back in early 1980's during inclement cloudy weather. There wasn't really much I was able to see. Never went back to visit every time I drove through St. Louis, MO.😕
Would a 6’5” 300 lb dude be able to even get inside the elevator? I drove past this once when visiting my brother in the army. I didn’t know you could go inside.
This arch has brought back some trauma! I used to have a recurring nightmare that a freeway on ramp that I used to use was actually a loop-the-loop like a roller coaster (that looks a bit like the arch) and that I need to keep my speed up to not fall off. Does anyone else get recurring nightmares?
I lived and was born in stlouis my mom's dad my grandfather was on the side of the arch and my uncle his brother was on the north side of the arch I had a picture of them shaking hand
Unfortunately the top of the arch is not wheelchair accessible. Here's a link to the parks website, which has more information about accessibility: www.nps.gov/jeff/planyourvisit/accessibility.htm

Built in 1963-1965, when accessibility wasn’t as much of a priority.
