The new Museum at the Gateway Arch will officially open to the public on July 3. A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. by the new West Entrance. St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith will serve as master of ceremonies. Following the ribbon cutting, the museum will open its doors to visitors.
There will also be a celebration in the North Gateway park area after the ceremony with food trucks, games, face painters, appearances by Fredbird and Louie, and live music from Boogie Chyld. Attendees will receive a special coin commemorating the historic event (while supplies last). There will also be 1,000 grand opening day cookies (first come, first served) at the North Gateway celebration for visitors to enjoy. Don’t forget – the grand opening also coincides with the return of Fair Saint Louis to the Gateway Arch National Park.
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Gateway Arch.
