Quick Scoop: How tall is the Arch in St. Louis?

• The Gateway Arch stands 630 feet high.

• That’s roughly the height of a 60-story building.

• It’s also 630 feet wide at its base, so it’s as wide as it is tall.

• It’s the tallest arch in the world and among the tallest monuments in the U.S. and Western Hemisphere.

You can think of it as towering well above the Statue of Liberty (about 305 feet) and even taller than the Washington Monument (about 555 feet), with the Arch beating them by a solid margin.

Little story to picture it

Imagine standing on the riverfront in downtown St. Louis, craning your neck until you have to lean back a bit, and the top of the Arch is still cutting into the sky. Inside that sleek stainless-steel curve, there’s a small tram that creeps up one leg and lets you step out into an observation area more than 600 feet over the Mississippi River, where cars and people look like tiny moving dots below.
