The St. Louis Arch
When you see pictures of St. Louis, there is always a lighthouse that rises above the other, the arc. The St. Louis Arch, also known as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, stands 630 feet in the air. It's more than twice as high as the Statue of Liberty, which is at least 305 feet. So this means that the roof is quite high. An interesting note, the arch is 630 feet wide.
When you arrive at the bow, ready to go through a security checkpoint. From there you continue on to buy tickets for a ride to the top of the vault.Waiting for your tram ride, you can browse through the Museum of Westward Expansion or shop at one of two gift shops.
When it is time for the start, you will get in a small capsule, with five seats. When I say small image inside a dryer! Once seated inside, you're ready for a four-minute trek to the summit.

St. Louis Valentine's Day Mass Wedding Planned Under Gateway Arch ...
The St. Louis Arch will provide a romantic backdrop on Wednesday for close to 100 couples who plan a Valentine’s Day wedding. The mass wedding is sponsored by a country radio station, WIL-FM and its morning disc jockey, Cornbread, according to the radio station’s Web site.
Ninety-two couples will get the complete package – flowers, reception, free legal ceremony, photographs and even rings. (The number coincides with the radio station’s spot on the dial.) Hundreds of other couples are still expected to show up and be part of the ceremony, although they won’t get the extras. The radio station chose the winners through Web site entries. The 92 couples chosen get the entire treatment, but any other couple is welcome to join the station at the Arch on Feb. 14, 7 a.m., to be legally wed. (Couples may also choose to renew their vows.)
Mass weddings will take place in several places around the world, but they’re still a new phenomenen in the United States. Many cities, like St. Louis, are considering them a way to provide an economic boom at a time when tourism is down. The mass weddings attract couples and friends to the town, generating far more income than the cost of the event. Plus, as in the case of the St. Louis radio station, the publicity generated can be, well, priceless.
