Visiting The Gateway Arch In St. Louis Missouri
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- In this adventure I head to St. Louis, Missouri in the United States Of America to visit the Gateway Arch. During vlog I check out this magnificent structure along with heading to the top for a fantastic view across the city.
The Gateway Arch was completed in 1965 and stands at 630ft (192m) above St Louis. Along with heading to the top of this impressive structure, I also check out the museum that's located directly underneath. Along with that I share various pieces of information throughout the video including a look at the unique tramway system that takes you to the top!

On behalf of myself and all other St. Louisans, we sincerely hope you enjoyed your visit. Thanks for stopping in and hope you revisit very soon.
Let's hope he got some Imo's!
@@daniellilly7591 no your bad, it tastes like mold
Daniel Lilly imos is kinda trash
@@kellanmcgrath7033 correct my good sir
@@qtagamahyoutube178 Nah, their salads are super good!
Looks like you came through St Louis at one of the best times in our history: After we won our first NHL (ice hockey) Stanley Cup Championship in our team's 52 year history. Those entire Arch grounds were packed with people wearing Blues team gear. Quite a site to see.
Brandon Ingli FUCKING RIGHT
Fuck yeah and still celebrating the victory. ✌
And a little after it got redone.
It was great!
Any Missourians here...just me ok.
Nah my man there’s a few of us here
South STL here. Got married at the top of the arch.
South St. Louis born and raised! I live in the suburbs now.
I have found my people!
@@whattheheckamidoinghere4305 Yay!!!! 😂
Thanks for showing off our beautiful city! St. Louis doesn't get as much recognition it deserves.
Go look around on the east side of st.louis you'll never come back
There is no east side in St. Louis. It’s called East St. Louis, Illinois!
@@andyhoward1793 All areas around the city are crime ridden. St. Louis is a dying city.
Lawn Man you must not live here! The south and west a great! Mostly the south though!
@@JustoFNG You are wrong as I am a NoCo transplant who landed in O'Fallon, MO. Sure the suburbs have nice parts but the city itself is surrounded by crime ridden areas. St. Louis has been a dying city for several decades and if it weren't for the Cardinals or Blues then nobody would go downtown.
I've lived in St. Louis my whole life. Despite the bad reputation it gets, it is great place to live, and there are many fun things to do.
It will always be my home!
It's wonderful to see someone not from here enjoy it. Great video!
Me to
@Buttercup yeah I had to move from the South Side for the same reason. I live in the suburbs now.
It doesn't a bad reputation but I have lived in St Louis South Side for a long time well all my life and not a single horrible bad things ever happened to me or my neighborhood
😂 Auto correct I did mean to say bad reputation but it auto corrected it sorry
Hi from Germany. The view is amazing. I enjoyed the Video and Hope i can visit the US someday. But with my School English skills i only get One happy meal at McDonalds 🤣
I'm from Orlando, but I lived in STL for two years 2016-2018. It's a very under-rated city. My only complaint is it lacks international influence. There aren't many people visiting or moving there to add energy to the city. STL should market itself to people from more expensive cities, because it truly has some of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the country.
Increased international influence would be an excellent shot in the arm for StL. However, StL needs to get some of it's affairs in order (city/county issues) before it will ever go beyond just another Midwestern city.
I'm from California and have lived in St.Louis for years and I have to agree. This city lacks any influences to invite people to come here. This feels like more of a city people come to live in or visit family than to come here because of landmarks.
I've lived in St Louis my whole life but I never really thought about how The Arch really is a popular landmark for the USA
AStopidChimp45
Same lives here my whole life so it’s just like ‘oh it’s the arch’ but to other people it’s like OH MY GOSH THE ARCH!!
Really trippy honestly. Lol
It's very famous landmark.
It's SO famous, iconic, graceful and has a timeless, elegant, and simple beauty that is known and revered the world over.
It’s the tallest monument in the world. Many people aren’t aware of that.
Same I lived here all my life and I never really thought anyone out of Missouri really even knew about it!
As a Born and Raised St Louisan......Welcome to St Louis !!! =) I hope you enjoy it here !! Check out The St Louis Zoo and Grants Farm too !! Our Zoo is Awesome and Free !! Grants Farm you can feed the Goats and hold Parakeets !! =)
I was born in 63. I got married inside the Arch, at the very top! Been married 18 yrs.
That is so cool! I didn't know you could do that! I did a lot of my wedding pictures at the Arch.
@@triciag3311 all for the price of a ticket 😊 we didn't want a huge wedding, just something simple.
@@LChavez7007 that is really awesome. What a nice wedding it must have been!
The USA is my favourite country and place to go hope to live there one day, this arch is definitely on my bucket list
On a windy day you can feel it sway. Very strange feeling when you are already leaning over to see out the windows.
I'm 36 years old, living in St. Louis and I'm sad to say that I have never been on top the Arch. Worked At the Hyatt Riverfront when it was the Adams Mark Hotel and saw it almost everyday. 🤷🏾♀️
TNisia Dunn it’s scary going up there
@@jeannedc314 is it? My mother said it was also.
I was born and lived in the Saint Louis area for the first 23 years and eight months of my life. The museum and ride up in the Arch is definitely worth it! I'm glad that you guys appreciate it so much. I remember what a big deal it was when the Arch opened in 1965.
Welcome to St. Louis Missouri. I need to get back to the arch since they redid the arch grounds. Funny how I've lived in St. Louis all my life and have only been to the top once.
Haha ive lived here my whole life too and have only gone up in the arch twice =)
Ditto!
Same
I’ve lived in St Louis my whole life. it’s a pretty awesome place to live and be I must say.
Thank you for doing what you do , many Americans myself included have never seen these American treasures and probably never will. So thank you 💗🙏
Why not?
@@AgentZero well lots of reasons..my reason is happening right now lol
@@handbaghound actually, you can go to the Arch, but you have to put on the right time tho, my family and I when to St. Louis on Easter weekend, when to the Zoo, the City Museum and the Arch sadly we didn't when up to the Arch but we still have great pictures of The Gateway Arch.
@@whattheheckamidoinghere4305 oh I know you can go to it , my problem is I have a terribly screwed up back. I can't sit for long periods of time..all the walking, so many things I can't do because of my back . I like videos like this, atleast I still get to see them.
And welcome to America
I've been to NYC and visited The Statue Of Liberty. Trust me when I tell you, the Gateway Arch is 10 times more impressive. A lot bigger. When you stand underneath it at the park live in person, you really don't have any idea. Seeing it on video doesn't do it justice. It's worth the trip.
Hello from St. Louis. Missouri.
first video, glad you enjoyed our Arch. You went up at a great time, with the lights shining at dusk.
You should go to the Budweiser brewery too. It's just a mile or so.
We love your Adventure Shawn channel, it’s like a UA-cam hidden gem
Thanks Mark!
First Missouri video I’ve seen in Missouri I thought they forgot about us
I grew up in St Louis and have been up at the top of the Arch multiple times. That views never get old and it was good to see them again through your adventure. Great video! 😊👍👍👍
Fun fact about the Arch. They expected 11 deaths during construction but there were none.
314 where yeee attt Lou!
Thank you for visiting, come back soon
my home town
This is exactly where I am originally from. St. Louis, Missouri. Born on April 21, 1992!
Thanks For Visiting!!!!
Umm the only thing I have to say is I wake up every morning looking at that thing and only been inside of it once.....and been around it millions of times
What a great tour you gave -- proud as a native son that others from far off places can get just a much enjoyment out of it as we do!
Brilliant Tourist Attraction with a fascinating transport system to take you to the very top of the Gateway Arch.
You would never get anything like that in the United Kingdom were i am from.
I Love it
Gavin Showell Shawn loves in the uk too.
Good thing we didn’t actually push the arch into the Mississippi after the Stanley cup or this video wouldn’t exist😂
Having been at the Parade
WE could have done it
Welcome to St. Louis my friend. Hope you enjoy yourself while you're here
You should go to Forrest Park. Alot of fun stuff to do there.. And we have places to get into for free.
A lot of people don't know that Forest Park is larger than Central Park in New York city.
@@PhilipReeder really it's larger than Central Park!
So glad you had an enjoyable visit. The arch is where everyone that visits should go. Well wishes on your adventures!
My brother Tom, a welder, helped construct this arch. I was very young at the time. I've never been there. Thanks for the shots.
A couple of my family memebers helped with this but they aren't alive anymore.
Lived in stl my whole life,and it always amazes me looking up at this thing.. beautiful
I had no idea you could actually go up to the top of that extraordinary structure! The lift/transport method is fascinating!
Yeah, you can do it but at the right time tho, my family and I didn't got a chance since it's close but we have a great pictures of the Gateway Arch.
@@whattheheckamidoinghere4305 Go there now! It got remodeled.
Thank you for the video. I love St. Louis.
Wow what a structure, such a modern masterpiece especially for the era it was built, they couldn’t build something like this today
It would cost too much, or some swingin' dick would try to save a buck, and then you'd have a 600 foot "Mousetrap".
I live there! 💞
Wow you took some great shots of St Louis I am from saint Louis I hope you had a wonderful stay here in St Louis great Midwest💜🌸💜🌸💋💋
You know, as a Missourian
I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS forget that the Arch is a thing people all over the world come to see. I've only been once and I wasn't able to go to the top bc it was SO FULL when we went in the summer of like 2007-2008. Of course, I spent a good amount of time in the museum portion. I only live three hours away, idk why I haven't gone back since LMAO I'm an adult now XD
Everytime I go to STL I go to the Zoo, which is the best FREE ZOO IN THE US!! it's an amazing place and it only costs to park and everything you spend money on, goes towards the zoo and the animals.
What a great video young man. We were there 10 years ago. The area around has changed. My wife would not go up my daughter who was in her 20s went with me. Being from Texas this was on my bucket list.
Great video and pretty thorough. But you missed out looking UNDER the Arch! Lay on your belly and scoot as far up as you can then look out the window DOWN & BEHIND! You can see both legs of the ARCH and NOTHING under neath you! Very COOL!
Should have come during Sept and Oct - We have THREE Rennasance Festival's, and Decent Oktoberfests
Right across from the stadium is where my dad used to work
I live in St Louis Missouri
Me too :)
Same
@Buttercup you know people like you get me mad because I've lived here in St Louis on my life and I have not witnessed a single crime single shooting a single death and everybody said such a bad City when it's really not
@Born again why are you sorry?
@Buttercup actually I watch the news every single day and yes I leave my house everywhere you're going to go there's always going to be some kind of danger
The views are amazing. So much great history.
I live not too far from the Gateway Arch, just the other side of the Mississippi River, I remember my first time going there and taking the tram to the top, a storm was coming in that day and to see the storm rolling in and to feel the sway at the top of the Arch was unbelieveable. Then my cousins and I stood against the Arch in the rain because when it rains, the side of the Arch becomes a waterfall from the water on top running down.
We was there 7/3/19 is awesome and incredible experience.
I live in St. Louis ❤️
I used to live there
A great job of showing the outside and inside of the gateway Arch !! Loved it!! It's been years since I went up.
For people who won't have the chance to visit, this video does justice. Even the museum is fun to watch.
I live in St. Louis
Thank you for visiting St. Louis! I really hope you enjoyed it! You narrate quite beautifully, and your shots are very smooth and easy to look at. May I suggest putting music in the background during your "views" portions of your videos? I believe it would really quite elevate your videos and provide an extra layer of interest. :) Loved the video as is! I've lived in St. Louis my entire life, and I've never been inside the Arch, so it was nice to see your perspective!
Another great adventure, Shawn! Thanks for sharing.
Loving the videos of this trip on both your channels can't wait to see the videos from Canada.
Nice to see Alex as a guest star on AdventureShawn
When my parents, 2 sisters and brother got in our pods, everyone became claustrophobic and left me alone to go on my way 😂
I was there in 2017...AMAZING!
I very much enjoyed this. Thanks Shawn.
Thank you for a very informative video. Very enjoyable.
great video I haven't been downtown in quite awhile...so glad you got to visit and experience that unique view
Been there twice for work project and didn't even go anywhere!
Met just the friendly peoples.
Thats where my mom's side of the family is from. I've been in it maybe 5 times. It's amazing. The elevators shimmy like a dolly up the stairs.. Impressive lobby at the feet.. shiny.. Glad you got to experience this as well as Cedar Point, where I live.. Ohio.
Greetings from Australia.This arch is an amazing structure and well worth a visit. I was fortunate to have visited this arch about 20 years ago and took the tram ride to the top. It was a very interesting ride and the view from the top was amazing. Highly recommended.
It sure is wonderful!
A lot of updates since I was there in the 90’s. I live next door in Illinois but have only traveled by it since then. Great experience
If your still here go to hammer stones so good they have the best food
Those were some amazing views !
Indeed.
Depending on where youre at you can see it still and another building too
Thanks for Trip to the top. Awesome. Haven't been up in decades. Good to see the top view of the new entrance. I still have my Childs Ticket from ~ 1968. Only cost 50 Cents back then. Much easier to take your virtual tour now a days. . . . lol
Thank you!
great vid cant wait 4 some new vids over summer great lift system in the arch good price
I was just there end of june!im doing my united states trip also.
Hope you enjoyed it.
brilliant, loved watching this
OMG I didn't know you had this channel...i follow you on
THEME PARK WORLDWIDE
Thanks for watching!
This was realy cool, great video Shawn.
The Windows are purportedly small in order to maximize the amount of steel in this 'keystone' part of the Arch. The two legs push together with something like 400 tons of pressure, so having big areas of glass here instead of steel would not work out too well.
I was there last week. The river was very high.
Wow shawn this is amazing what a unique way of getting to the top . I never realised that you could go inside it . I've always been fascinated by the arch from a young age it's truly amazing. Thanks for showing us this amazing structure. Lovely to see Alex to . Great vlog xxxx
Was waiting and looking forward to this 😀
u notice the guitar
home of chuck berry
sanford and son
This is a great video. I feel like I've made the trip myself.
cool to watch shawn-never been there im maybe 5-6 hours from there ty
If you're still in St. Louis, I highly recommend going to this restaurant called Hendels in old town Florissant. This is a recommendation from someone who lives in St. Louis.
daryl Jackson He’s back in the uk nowI believe.
I live in Florissant. I will have to give it a try. Thank you-
@@molliedevenbaugh1986 no problem and you're welcome!! The address is, 599 St Denis St, Florissant, MO 63031
I second the recommendation. I went there for dinner 2 years ago while in St. Louis. Great food in a historic building.
It gets hit with lightening regularly. You can see it from the cards game sometimes.
"that bridge" is the Ead's Bridge, built in 1874, it was the first bridge across the Mississippi River.
Jack Churchill not really first , first into a downtown city.
It is the first bridge to cross the Mississippi south of the Missouri river. And it is the world's first steel truss bridge.
Opened in 1874, Eads Bridge was the first bridge erected across the Mississippi south of the Missouri River. Earlier bridges were located north of the Missouri, where the Mississippi is smaller. None of the earlier bridges survive; Eads Bridge is the oldest bridge on the river.
Will there be any more videos from the USA Trip on Adventureshawn? Aside from Niagara Falls, which I'm assuming will have a video.
Lots of history in that area. The Arch is just downstream of Eads Bridge (which you can see in the video) which was completed in 1874 and was the 1st steel truss bridge. Also nearby is the Old St Louis Courthouse. I did a video on that one on my channel. Good stuff though.
That's the world famous Ead's bridge Shawn! It was the first and largest of it's kind and the engineering basis for the Brooklyn bridge and many to come. I'm glad you enjoyed your time in a great historic city, come back anytime!
Welcome to America. Loved the Arch though the pod on the ride up is a bit clausterphobic. They have such a great visitor center at the base. -Henry
So that's ur first time seeing it i lived in st Louis my whole life
I love your video.
I'm very impressed that you've visited St. Louis, Shawn. I'm fascinated by the Gateway Arch too. I hope to take the tram to the top one day, as I have never been to this particular city. But of course I would love to see and enjoy this landmark and wonder of engineering at some point.
Great stuff :)
Looooove your video 👍, I got a model of the Gateway Arch
Don’t forget to visit The Hill!
And Vice Versa, you told people on Theme Park Worldwide to watch a video on the arch over here
