Mini Golf!

I love mini-golf! It's roughly about $7 per person to play. They're mostly located in family fun centers too, which include all kinds of other things to do as well. Here are all the courses in town:

1.)Pirate’s Crusade Mini-Golf at Concord Lanes (South County)
This family-friendly, 18-hole course draws in crowds with offerings for every age and a fun-filled course featuring a kid-sized waterfall cave. Exciting painted Native Americans and animal statues, including an open-mouthed snake hole, keep kids engaged while they wait their turn.  

2.)Cave Spring Golf Center (St. Charles)
Our mini-golf course offers 18 family-friendly holes, along with one bonus hole with a chance to win a free game. Each hole has a different obstacle to test your skills. The course is also lit so participants can play after the sun goes down.

​

3.)Swing-Around Fun Town (St. Charles & Fenton)
Both St. Louis locations offer miniature golf. St. Charles features an 18-hole course with a treehouse, castle, and windmill. The Fenton location features three nine-hole courses with an old-school design complete with water wheels, fountains, a castle, and a lighthouse. The miniature golf courses are quaint, but these facilities also offer go-karts, bumper boats, batting cages, and an arcade to keep the whole family engaged.

4.)Aloha Mini Golf & Shaved Ice (Valley Park)
Experience 2 different 18-hole courses of family-friendly, neighborhood miniature golf in Valley Park with Waterfalls, Streams, Ponds, and beautiful flowers. No windmills — just fun bank shots, jumps, curves, traps, and holes with undulations and hills. 

 

5.)Centerfield Park (Fairview Heights IL)
Centerfield Park features two spacious miniature golf courses, each with 18 holes of challenging and exciting obstacles.

Bonne Terre Family Fun Center has an indoor 9-hole miniature golf course designed around our beautiful Coy Pond and waterfall. For those who want to brave the weather, we offer 18 holes of fun in the sun, complete with a waterfall and outdoors theme.

Half of our holes have obstacles you must shoot through or around, and the other half have challenging greens you must read to play well. Whether you just want to have fun with family and friends or practice your putting skills, our course will provide you with the enjoyment and challenges you are seeking. 

8.)Bellefontaine Mini-Golf Course (Bellefontaine Neighbors)
 The fees are: Adults Residents - $3.00, Nonresidents - $6.00

                   Children Residents - $2.00, Nonresidents - $4.00
It's a pretty basic course but a nice addition to North County and really reasonable rates.

Splash pads, Spraygrounds, and Pop Jets

Splash pads are so much fun! During the hot summer months, we spend a lot of time at them. Who doesn't love that they're free??? To be clear, I'm talking about the free splash pads that are on or near public playgrounds. I realize that some pools have splash pad features and pop jets and sprayers, but those are real swimming pools and they charge admission, so that's a different animal. That list can be found here.

The note "just a pole" means exactly that- it's just a pole that shoots out water. Better than nothing but not exactly exciting stuff.

If I had to rank the best splash pads in the area I would say Route 66, Veteran's Tribute Park, Kades, Edmundson, Sylvan Springs, Vago Park, Citygarden, Veteran's Memorial in Union, Alton Riverfront Park, and Jaycee Park are my favorites because of the variety of different water features they offer.

Another option for free water play is to visit a creek.

Swimming Pool Tot Times & Open Swims

Tot Time is a great way to experience a pool that is normally off-limits for non-members and non-residents. The following pools offer tot times to anyone, including nonresidents for a daily fee. There are a lot of pools in St. Louis that you can't get into unless you are a resident or a guest of a resident or unless you buy their season pass. All the YMCA's are this way, Indian Hills Pool, Cool Dells, Shrewsbury pool, etc. Admission to tot time usually costs around $5 for kids, adults are free, and it's limited to kids under 6 in the morning before the pools open to the general public.  Open swim is different because there's no time limit and it costs more.  

If you are looking for FREE water fun, consider playing in a creek or playing at a playground with a splash pad. 

If you have older kids or just want to swim for a longer period of time, I have open swims listed after tot times.
