点评:My wife paid to go up here on her own as I am a little frightened of heights. She said you have to enter a small carrier, similar to one of those things on the Ferris wheels at the fair and this takes you up. Not straight up but you follow rail around the stairs. When she reached the top she went over and looked through the windows, one in to the city past the old courthouse and the other over the Mississippi. She said it was great. After she came down we both visited the museum at the bottom. This is free and it gives a lot of detail about the City history etc. The museum was lovely and provided visitors with a description of how the Arch emerged as a project. Some people like museums, while other's don't. While we were there we heard a local woman talking to her son about why she brought him here because she hoped he would learn a little of his American History. His response was that he wished he'd stayed in bed.
翻译:我有点恐高,所以妻子自己花钱上去了。她说你得坐进一个小车厢,类似于博览会上摩天轮上的那种,这样才能上去。不是直上直下,而是沿着楼梯上的栏杆走。她到达顶部后,走过去,透过窗户往外看,一扇窗户可以看到经过旧法院的城市景色,另一扇窗户可以看到密西西比河对岸的景色。她说这太棒了。她下来后,我们一起参观了底部的博物馆。博物馆是免费的,里面详细介绍了城市历史等。博物馆很漂亮,向游客介绍了拱门是如何作为一个项目出现的。有些人喜欢博物馆,有些人不喜欢。我们在那里时,听到一位当地妇女和她的儿子谈论她带他来这里的原因,因为她希望他能学到一些美国历史。儿子的回答是,他希望自己待在床上。
