Try to buy your tickets online days before. We thought we would be out of luck but found a last minute slot. If you don’t have tickets you can still get in and see the great museum but you can’t get to the top- and that’s the point. Kiener Plaza East and West are good parking spots. Not a long walk…about 1-2 blocks, cross the street, then walk down to the Arch entrance. Checkout the old courthouse on this walk and the Kiener Plaza park is a great photo spot while on your walk!
