Guests can enjoy the 91-acre arch grounds, explore more than 200 years of history at the Museum at the Gateway Arch, take the Tram Ride to the Top and watch the documentary, “Monument to the Dream,” about the construction of the arch, as well as participate in special events from April 16 to 24.

For every day of National Park Week, a different theme will be highlighted in short videos prior to each screening of “Monument to the Dream.” The videos will connect the themes to the Gateway Arch National Park. Other events include:

Free, ranger-led museum tours daily; wellness challenge activities all week; fee-free day (for tram rides and documentary screenings) on Saturday, April 16; a volunteer riverfront clean-up event on Saturday, April 23; and a B.A.R.K. Ranger event on Sunday, April 24, that includes a ranger-led walk with your dog through the arch grounds.
