The tallest monument in the United States will become the spookiest on October 19 during Frights and Heights at the Gateway Arch. The Arch will transform into a family-friendly Halloween party full of tricks and treats.
Kids may want to bring some jokes to collect their treats (because this is St. Louis!). Gift bags will be supplied for kids to collect candy throughout the evening. Frights and Heights includes a Trick or Tram ride to the top of the Arch (additional cost ranging from $12 to $16 per person), freaky face painting, creepy crafts, balloon animals, puppet shows about Lewis and Clark, freaky fudge, and every child will receive a ticket for a free St. Louis Riverfront Cruise from Riverboats at the Gateway Arch good for the 2025 cruise season.
Candy and non-candy treats will be distributed to children. Family-friendly costumes are encouraged.
General admission (without a tram ride ticket) is free.
6:30-9:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 19, 2024.
