Swing-A-Round Fun Town, St. Charles



Location: 3541 Veteran's Memorial Parkway, St. Charles, MO 63303     (636) 947-4487

Website: https://www.sarfuntown.com/hours-locations/

Swing-A-Round Fun Town has 2 locations, Fenton and St. Charles. This location has a great mini golf course and batting cages, but the arcade is lacking. I was expecting something close to their Fenton location which has a huge arcade and indoor playground. The owner did say that they had some more arcade machines on order for this summer. They offer birthday parties but I'm not sure where they would have them. I didn't see a party room when I was there.




The shaded 18-hole mini golf course features lights, a waterfall, a castle, a tree house, and fountains.


This location has 5 baseball cages and 4 softball cages. 



Concession stand 





















Indoor arcade with 8 games.

Discovery Playground, Jaycee Park, St. Charles





Location: 2805 Elm Street, St. Charles, MO 63301

Amenities: playground, picnic shelter, sprayground, restrooms

Website: http://www.stcharlesparks.com/park/jaycee-park/

Playground ground cover: rubber mats

This is an amazing playground. So much for the kids to do! The entire playground is fenced with only 2 exits, so you can let the kids explore. There's a toddler area with a butterfly to climb on, a small slide, and a tunnel. The larger playground area has a spinning rope merry-go-round which was probably the biggest hit of the playground. The playground has ramps to enter it, and several slides, including one that is metal. There's also a roller slide on the playground. There's a music area (although the instruments are situated a little too high for little kids to reach). The swing area has 2 sling swings, 2 baby swings, and 2 adaptive swings, plus a saucer swing.

Be sure to pack a swimsuit and towel because there's also a sprayground area with a shallow man-made creek, a waterfall, and sprays that shoot up randomly.

There are some shade elements attached to the playground structure, but I am disappointed with the pergola located next to the toddler playground. With a few more boards across the top, it would provide shade to parents watching their kids play.
