Jefferson National Expansion Memorial

Pros: Rigid erection won't let you down.
Cons: Many hours of foreplay required to achieve a few minutes of orgasmic delight.

Since most of us have already overdosed on “March Madness”, I thought it would be an appropriate time to take a break and instead focus on “Arch Madness”. While my review will include all of the attractions included in The Jefferson National...

Pros: stunning views, kids learned and had fun, nicely kept park
Cons: long lines due to security measures, tram will easily freak out anyone claustrophobic

We were about 20 miles east of St. Louis on our drive when we first caught sight of the Gateway Arch. It’s an instantly recognizable sight and stunningly beautiful as we traveled across the plains of Illinois. The next morning when we woke ...

Pros: Great Views from the top of the Arch
Cons: Museums are small; Tram ride to the top is very cramped!

Many cities have a specific landmark that is instantly recognizable by most anyone and is often used to identify the city. Some of these landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, have become the symbol of ...

Pros: Breathtaking view, they explain how the Arch was built, architecturally-interesting courthouse
Cons: Museum of Western Expansion, not enough time, trams very unpleasant

Last Labor Day weekend I found myself meeting a group of IRC friends in St. Louis. I'd never been there before, although I'd come close once when I lived in Chicago. We planned only a few activities in advance, preferring to play things by ear. We...

Pros: Lot's of History and a great view!
Cons: None

First let me say, that I did a little bit of research before writing this review.

The St.Louis Arch or also know as the Gateway arch was finished in 1965. It is know to be the United States largest monument standing at 630 feet tall. It even...

Pros: Great panoramic views from the top of the Arch; an interesting History Museum

WARNING: Unless you are very wealthy, the first part of this review will not help you make a buying decision.

I grew up in the suburbs of New York City, very secure in the knowledge of one thing--the government would never rent...

Pros: The Arch(!) and The Museum of Westward Expansion.
Cons: None.

The Jefferson National Expansion Memorial is located right on the Mississippi River landing in the heart of St. Louis, Missouri. It is a 90 acre riverfront park that consists of three winning attractions: The Gateway Arch, a gigantic 630 feet high...

Pros: great view, interesting exhibits
Cons: small elevator car to the top of the arch.

This park has more than just the famous St. Louis arch. That is the main attraction, but before you go into the arch, take a stroll through the museum. It covers the expansion of the United States in Missouri. There are several very interesting...

Pros: Great Memorial to our Expansion Westward!
Cons: E. St. Louis is not exactly the best thing to look at, lol

I remember going to the Arch when I was a little kid, and it was the TIME OF MY LIFE! Now that I can see the Arch from where I live it makes it even more special. the Memorial makes up remember what a big deal it was to be expanding West. St. Louis, part...

Pros: Great Museum
Cons: CROWDS in summer

On the July day that we were at the Arch, you couldn't have put the crowd in Busch Stadium when McGwire hit his 70th. Therefore, we chose not to wait the 90 minutes to go up. Just as well, because the Visitor Center and Museum is one of the best in...
