Seeing pictures and hearing stories about the Gateway Arch does not do it justice. This building has very substantial historical meaning that you can almost feel coming off of it ass you approach it. When you get close to the arch you are in awe about the pure size of the thing.  You then proceed to go under ground into a beautiful touristy museum location where you then await your turn to go to the top. When I got in the elevator and started to ascend I had feelings of anxiety and excitement. When you get tp the top the view is jaw dropping and almost to terrifying for some people. I dont mind heights and enjoyed the view to the fullest. Overall the gateway arch and its surrounding area is an awesome place to visit.
