I still haven't been up in that thing! Sweet view tho. Did they still have the helicopter rides going on when you were there? We drove right passed there on Saturday on our way to Grants Farm (in-laws were in town) and seen the helicopter landing on the barge.

It's nice......10 bucks a person and 3 for kids I think .....Theres alot of history inside the arch....B's bro was really interested in all of that! I have pics of course but no time now!!!!

Yes they have the chopper rides we thought about doing that too but since he is a pilot and they also skydive we didn't think that would be as nice as the horse rides since they do that all the time!!!

Same here InIt, I have lived right down the road from it in st charles and st peters MO. But still have yet to get up there in it.

I do remember one of my neighbor friends from St Peters, MO. Whose dad had worked on the arch as a welder. He had all sorts of pictures and stuff from the construction of it. Also had a small medal in a glass case, for being one of the welders that was up on top when they joined the two sides together.
