Kids Explorer Night

Storyteller Bobby Norfolk opens the evening with star stories drawn from cultures around the world. Children can then take part in the park’s annual Junior Ranger Night Explorer Workshop and work toward a special Gateway Arch National Park patch.

The indoor program begins in Tucker Theater. If weather cooperates, families will finish outside on the Entrance Plaza with telescope views of the Moon and other night-sky objects.

Visitors enter the Arch through the west entrance facing Fourth Street and the Old Courthouse and must pass through airport-style security screening; weapons, including pepper spray, are prohibited. The park does not operate a visitor parking lot, so plan ahead for a downtown garage, street parking, or a roughly 10-minute walk from the 8th & Pine or Laclede’s Landing MetroLink stations.
