Cactus Pete's opened in January of  2018. Their amenities include laser tag, a bounce house, maze, and video games. They also have a black light party room. They are closed on Monday and Tuesday, open evenings Wednesday through Friday, and open most of the day on Saturday and Sunday. Remember to bring socks for the bounce house!

This is a blurb from their website that explains their mission:
"Cactus Pete’s Family Fun Center was created by two guys from Jefferson County that were tired of driving their kids to South County, Fenton and St. Charles to play overpriced video and prize redemption games as well as laser tag. They decided to improve and expand on what a family fun center should be. Namely FUN, AFFORDABLE and MEMORABLE. Cactus Pete’s is the perfect place to bring your family or group – buy 4 or more game cards and receive 10% off your entire purchase. You can even bring your own food!!! Recommended ages 5 and up."

They do not serve food but they serve soda and BEER. They have more than 30 “top of the line” video, drivers, prize redemption, ticket & claw games. Featuring: Space Invaders, Despicable Me – Jelly Lab, Down The Clown, Jurassic Park, Aliens Armageddon, Big Bass Pro, Kung Fu Panda, Baseball Pro, Skee Ball, NBA Hoops, Sink It… All games are cleaned and disinfected after use and multiple times throughout the day. They also have a huge dodge-ball bounce house, and the Must See – “Area 51 – Alien Ooze Laser Tag”. Laser Tag is on the second floor and features the latest in technology. The “Cyber Blast Phaser” does not require a sweaty oversized vest and is light enough that kids of all ages can use it! Games are limited to 10 players per round so that participants can maneuver through the black light maze of effects and not spend all their time waiting for their phaser to activate after being shot! Over 50 computerized laser tag games to choose from.

All the games and attractions require credits to play. A credit equals roughly 25 cents and most of the games average between 4 – 6 credits. You purchase whatever number of credits you want. The credits are put on a card which you will simply swipe at the game or the attraction. The tickets you win are recorded on the game card. NO MORE LUGGING AROUND QUARTERS OR TOKENS! NO MORE STUFFING TICKETS INTO YOUR POCKETS AND UNLOADING THEM AT THE COUNTER. It’s all on our cloud based card reader system.

My impression is that this place is rather small but there's no other family fun center in the area so it's a nice addition for residents in the area.
