The view is very beautiful!Unfortunately, I went here on a really hot day, but it was still super fun. It’s really interesting to learn about the history behind this mound. Definitely recommend.????♥️????
Monk's Mound is 100 feet tall, making it the largest "man-made earthen mound" north of Mexico. Beautiful view at the top of the St. Louis skyline and surrounding mounds.
Worth the climb to the top! Great views of the surrounding Cahokia Mounds. Excellent view of downtown St. Louis & the Arch on a nice day!
Visitors center and climbing Monks Mound is a must.
Unless you're a history buff, this place probably isn't for you.

When visiting the mounds, be sure to stop by the museum. It's full of great displays and a lot of documentation. Allow time to read and educate yourself! Very informative! - Bob Barker
I highly recommend going to the top. On weekends plan to be in line for hours. We went during the week in August with no lines and saw the sunset. BEAUTIFUL! The museum is interesting as well. - Robin Marolt
