Yes. There are many small oval-shaped "cars" called trams that seat 5 people each and go to the top. They tip back and forth like a ferris wheel to remain upright as the car goes up the curve. It costs $10 for adults. However, you might want to consider that the windows at the top are very tiny (and dirty) which makes it difficult to see as much as you would like.
It contains its own minature trolley system.
You can not climb up the arch, but you can take the elevator up to the top.
yes
The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri is a monument representing expansion to the west. People can go up to the top of the Arch and view the city.
Missouri
there are not very many you go up to then top in an elevator that is shaped like a pod
Well, there's the arch itself, which is fairly impressive. Underneath the arch (that is, underground) is a small museum, and you can ride a sort of elevator up to the top of the arch in good weather. The top of the arch has small windows that let you look out on downtown St. Louis and across the river into Illinois. I wouldn't recommend it if you are either claustrophobic or afraid of heights.
An elevator takes visitors to the top of the St. Louis arch.
Going up, 4 minutes. Going down, 3 minutes.
When you go to the top (over 700 feet) you can get a great view of St. Louis.
The Gateway Arch is part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial ( http://www.nps.gov/jeff/ ). The arch symbolizes "the spirit of the western pioneers." In the 19th century, St. Louis was a hub for westward-bound settlers; it is also where the Lewis & Clark Expedition began its voyage after Jefferson's completion of the Louisiana Purchase. Today, the site includes Gateway Arch, the Museum of Westward Expansion, and St. Louis' Old Courthouse. The arch serves no practical function except as a decorative landmark and a tribute to a unique period in world history. Visitors can ride a tram through the arch to the top.
how much does a top plate cost
A keystone. PA was named the Keystone state as it was in the middle of the 13 colonies, much like a keystone in an arch or doorway. It's the stone at the top, middle of the arch which holds the arch in place. If the keystone is removed, the arch topples.
Arch top guitars take greater skill to carve, arch top guitars are usually higher quality overall, but this is most likely reflected in the price.
An arch that is pointed at the top. Think 'gothic windows'
