What travelers are saying
- AustintoBostonBoston, MA367 contributionsThis site has a lot to offer beyond the top of the arch. The Western Expansion museum on the first floor is really well-done. You can spend as long or as little time there as you want. The tram ride to the top is quick, but its tight, so if you are claustrophobic it might not be your thing. Awesome views on both sides - and you can get a sense for how flat this part of the country is. One of those famous sites that was on my bucket list as an American. Glad I checked it off.Written April 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DeDe MOklahoma City, OK0 contributionsThey have PENGUINS!
This zoo was impressive with free admission and such a vast variety of animals. There were staff at the enclosures to give information if you had questions. I’d love to go back the next time I’m up this way. If you can’t find street parking, the lot parking is $20.Written May 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My wife and I are members of the gardens in Denver, which is outstanding but this blows that one away. Much more land to work with and this results in an unparalleled experience.
In addition, clearly the community is very supportive based on the "extras" all around the park like lingering Chihuly art pieces well after the show ended.
VERY impressive place.Written May 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Went back to visit as an adult and it was still as funky and fun as I remember it. The decor of the place is worth the visit! This place is fun for all ages.Written April 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Barbara P7 contributionsFirst time at this stadium. Beautiful stadium. We were on the second level with a great view of the arch and skyline & home plate. Paid a little more for tickets but well worth it. Friendly staff everywhere- from beginning to end of the game. We were at the Milwaukee Brewers game. Food is overpriced but this was anticipated. Plenty of clean bathrooms.Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AnntAnnsMadison, Wisconsin, United States32 contributionsAmazing interior. Positively glitters from every angle. Using ancient techniques for the mosaics, the cathedral is WELL worth visiting. Be warned: there are TWO cathedrals that google recognizes as "Basilica of Saint Louis." The one called "the old cathedral" is a lovely place from the 18th century which is very nearby The Arch. The mosaiced one (reviewed here) is not too far away.
The main floor is fully accessible for wheelchairs, but the basement museum is not. The museum is mainly devoted to the building of the Cathedral and the mosaics, but has a 14th century Choir book on display, as well as vestments and various liturgical items from the past couple of centuries.
The main chapel, rotunda, side chapels...everything...are covered in mosaics. gorgeous work that use both the medieval style figures and some really great more modern style, telling the story of the city. If you go, keep looking up...everything changes as you walk around. All of fascinating and VERY colorful. We were privileged to hear a lovely 10 minutes from the main pipe organ toward the end of our hour there.
While the mosaics are the main draw the stained glass windows are a pure delight.Written April 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Unfortunately the rest of the farm was closed for the off season. I look forward to returning to see more.Written February 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jason ReillyRobesonia, PA100 contributionsVery big park that has a lot of activities to do. There are biking routes that cover the perimeter of the park, a zoo, and a visitor center with helpful staff.Written December 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
