Frights & Heights
You’re invited to a night of Halloween festivities, topped off with a view you won’t find anywhere else!
The tallest monument in America will become the spookiest monument when the Gateway Arch transforms into a family-friendly Halloween party full of tricks and treats. Event attendees are encouraged to wear their best costumes* and participate in various Halloween-themed activities.
General admission to the family-friendly Halloween party is FREE, but advance registration is required, and space is limited. Haunted Tram Ride to the Top Tickets are available for purchase and include general admission.
Kids may want to bring some jokes (because that’s how St. Louis trick-or-treats) and we will supply gift bags for all to collect candy and non-candy treats throughout the evening!
When: Saturday, October 19, 2024 | 6:30 – 9:30 pm
