Stadium East Garage for Gateway Arch Visits
Stadium East Parking Garage is the preferred official option for driving to Gateway Arch in Downtown, near St. Louis. Preferred parking costs $11 for the first five hours, according to the Gateway Arch parking page (gatewayarch.com). The garage is useful when you want an operator-backed facility rather than searching curbside spaces around the site.

The riverfront option is particularly relevant if your itinerary combines the monument grounds with a cruise, because the attraction’s directions page covers parking for both activities.
