Urban Air, Sunset Hills



Location: 10990 Sunset Hills Plaza, St. Louis, MO 63127

Website: https://www.urbanair.com/missouri-sunset-hills/


This indoor adventure park opened in the fall of 2022 in Sunset Hills. It has a lot of offerings and is best suited for school-aged kids. I chose the platinum level which allowed my kids to do it all. You can pick and choose what activities you want to do, but everyone must buy their socks at $3.50 a pair. 

Indoor Playground- They said kids must be under 52" to play here but my kids were well over that and no one said anything. There were a lot of bigger kids in there actually and they don't have an attendant. 








Warrior Course- Uneven platforms, rope bridge, tilted walls, hanging rings…and a ball pit to cushion all your falls. My kids loved that the balls looked like bubbles. 









Ropes Course- once you're clipped into the harness you can easily pull it in whatever direction you want to go. My daughter found this way easier than the one at Amp Up where you have to clip and unclip each time to change tracks. 









Sky Rider- this was my daughter's favorite thing here. It's like a zipline in a harness. You just jump off the ledge and fly across the room to the other side. She said it's really exhilarating!




Spin zone- bumper cars. My son was scared because they have the power to spin you around but you ask them not to do that. 




They have a bunch of trampolines with dodge ball, basketball hoops, wipeout, and tumble tracks. 









They had ok food, we got popcorn, a pretzel with cheese, and Icees. 



Party area



Virtual Reality- up to 4 people can play and you can choose your game. 





Climbing Walls

Slick City Action Park West, Chesterfield

 


Location: 17379 Edison Ave., Chesterfield, MO 63005

Website: https://slickcity.com/stlouiswest/


Slick City opened in late 2022 where the old Sky Zone was in the Valley. Just like most of the other indoor action parks you must buy their special socks and sign a waiver before you can play. They have different play packages but it's going to be at least $25 per child to play if they're over 5. For kids under 5, they have a soft play area. Honestly, I don't think this place is a good one for kids under 5 cause all they have is the soft play area, they can not do any of the slides, and there are other places where they get more for their money like Sky Zone, Monkey Joes, or Urban Air to name a few. 



Limited amount of arcade games


The yellow launch slide is the most popular slide because it is super fast and you go flying!






Wide family slide



Cafe and dining area




Air courts


Soft play area






Restrooms


The bowl slide drops you onto an air mattress




4 person racing slide



It's hard to see but there is a zip line in front of the gray slide



Berm slide


Half pipe slide






They offer birthday parties also, and this is a great place for kids to burn some energy! After all, there are a lot of steps to climb to get to the top of these slides!

RiverChase YMCA Indoor Pool, Fenton







Location: 990 Horan Dr, Fenton, MO 63026


This is a great indoor pool. RiverChase merged with the YMCA in June 2022 so unfortunately unless you are a YMCA member you can't access this pool. They have a 2 story slide for kids 48" and up. There is a hot tub but you must be 18 to enter.  The kid area has a play structure with a slide and tons of water jets. There is also a lazy river and a lap pool.  Between this and the indoor playground upstairs, you could easily kill half a day playing here! This is a wonderful indoor activity for a cold or rainy day. Everyone is always looking for an indoor pool with warmer water and my kids say the water was warm here. 









3 lap lanes







The indoor playground occupies my kids for a long time. There are always other kids in there to play with and if you pay to swim you can play here too.
