In a massive opening ceremony, the Gateway Arch Park in St. Louis will be re-opened on July 4, 2018, and the city is all set to get more exciting landscapes. The completely renovated park, after a 5-year hiatus, has been made available to the public once again and is expected to attract thousands of tourist in the coming days!
As the city unveiled the much-awaited Gateway Arch Park which cost around $380-million during the entire renovation project, people visiting St. Louis can expect a major tourist attraction in the city.
