The Arch Store

The Arch Store is the park’s gift and book shop inside the Gateway Arch Visitor Center beneath the monument, known for Arch souvenirs, books and homemade fudge. If you’re already visiting the museum, it’s an easy last browse for a keepsake, a book or a snack; skip it if shopping isn’t part of your visit.

Look for Arch replicas and drinkware, clothing, jewelry, crafts, puzzles and children’s items. Books cover the Arch’s design and construction and 19th-century American West. Homemade fudge and packaged snacks are also part of the offer, though the specific selection can change.

The merchandise has included mid-century modern architecture books, items featuring Eero Saarinen’s Tulip chair and table, and Eames stacking cards—a small nod to the Arch’s 1960s design era. The shop is run by Jefferson National Parks Association, the park’s nonprofit partner; proceeds support park education, exhibits, living-history programs, archival work and conservation.

After security, take an elevator, escalator or stairs down to ground level and walk through the museum; the store is just to the right after you exit, beside the Virtual Reality Theater. The store is accessible, but it sits inside the secure visitor center rather than at street level. Pair it with the museum visit instead of making a separate trip.
