Safety

Due to security measures at the Gateway Arch, all visitors must pass through a security checkpoint. No weapons — including pepper spray and fixed blade knives — are allowed. If you have pre-purchased your tram ticket, please arrive at least 30 minutes before your tram time to ensure you have enough time to make it through security before boarding the tram.
