Centennial Farms and Orchard, Augusta





Location: 199 Jackson St, Augusta, MO 63332      636-228-4338

Website: http://centennialfarms.biz/

This farm has been around forever, and in the fall it's really cute. "Pumpkin picking has started and our yearly transformation into Pumpkin Fantasyland is underway. Walk into our farmstead and be surrounded by pumpkin characters and Halloween fun. We decorate with full-size pumpkin and gourd figures representing farm folks, storybook characters, and some of your favorite movie characters. There are aliens and a crashed spaceship. A graveyard has some very humorous inscriptions, most of them from real cemeteries. Mixed in with the figures are hundreds of pumpkins from minis to some big ones."











That red barn is 160 years old and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.






 The store had some nice selections

Rockin' Jump Trampoline Park, O'Fallon MO



Location: 61 N. Central Dr, O'Fallon, MO 63366

Website: http://ofallon.rockinjump.com/

This place is an indoor trampoline park like Sky Zone but there are a few differences.  We went for the Rockin' Tots open jump.  Don't forget you have to purchase their special gripping socks.

They have several events, including Rockin' Tots which is a special tot time for kids under 6, Rockin' Wednesday when you get 2 hours of jump time for the price of one, neon jump night for teens and tweens, and After Dark, which is a black light event for all ages. Throughout the year they also have themed holiday parties, parent's night out, special needs night, lock-ins, and more. They also have frequent jumper programs and awesome birthday parties. This is a great place for your kids to burn some energy!




 Free wifi and plentiful seating


 Main arena




The "X Beam" pit is very popular. From the website: "Choose your padded lance, and have a blast as you work hard to maintain your balance while trying to send your opponent falling into the pool of foam. Someone has to be the X-Beam Champion! See if you have what it takes in Rockin’ Jump’s latest challenge attraction."


(They took out the foam blocks)



 They have 2 dodgeball arenas


 Vertigo Climbing Tower





These massage chairs cost $2 for 6 minutes. If you sit in them without paying an alarm will sound.  Just trust me on this.


 Basketball Courts




The Bag Jump is fun! The kids loved doing flips into it. From the website: "Feel the freedom of flying, flipping, and jumping, in a JumpSafe®, clean environment. Here’s your chance to have a ‘stunt performer’ experience enjoying the exhilaration of flipping and jumping into an air-filled stunt bag!"




 The Beam projector interactive game system. You can pop bubbles, play soccer, piano, and more.


In 2022 they added slides similar to the ones at Slick City.
