ST. LOUIS – The Gateway Arch National Park is always a great place to visit, but it was extra special for visitors Saturday.

Despite chillier temperatures and overcast skies, Gateway Arch National Park hosted its second of five fee-free days at the Arch. The fee-free days allow families to take a ride to the top of the Gateway Arch, and also see a documentary on its construction, entirely for free.
