This plan covers the Gateway Arch and its free museum in St. Louis on day one and a Kansas City stay on day two. It is an editorial sequence from official sources; we verified no other attraction prices, and the cities are far apart, so check a map. The Arch tram is $15 to $19 for adults and sells out.
