Experience the history of the iconic monument and the public-private partnership that came together to completely renovate its surroundings as you enjoy this walking tour of Gateway Arch National Park. You’ll learn how the park came to be and how numerous organizations joined to help fund and organize the largest private investment in National Park Service history. Completed in 2018, the $380 million renovation is now operated by an alliance of public and private partners that continue to maintain and evolve the park.
