They are very inexpensive, and you can spend as much time there as you want. They also sell shaved iced. The gentleman that runs the place is friendly, and hardworking. Very well lit at night so the fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down!

Perfect place for a beautiful day. Only $8 for unlimited play, and the shaved ice is also cheap…read more The courses are fun and creative, but not too hard that you get caught up waiting for people to finish.

Simpson Park Lake is my favorite local spot to kayak…read more Unloading: There is a circular dirt drive off of the parking lot where you can load and unload kayaks/paddleboards/canoes right at the boat launch area. The Lake: This is one of the best spots to kayak on the West side of St Louis. You can get about 3,000 meters from one loop around the lake, and there are usually very few people on the water. It is much quieter than Creve Coeur Lake. The water is calm and without motorized boats, other than trolling motors. There are often great blue heron and egrets in the water.

My wife and I like to take our family (4 and 2 year olds) out for a run every weekend. This was our…read morefirst time to Simpson Park. We were impressed. We really enjoyed being able to run along the river. The paths were well paved and easy to run on with our running stroller. We don't tend to be near the Meramec, but it was a very enjoyable run. It was partially in shade, and we saw some eagles. We ran west of the park until the trail hits a parking lot near 141. The best part according to my kids though was the THREE STORY PLAYGROUND. It was the highlight of their week. We didn't do anything on the Lake proper, but noticed you could rent kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. I may give that a try some time without the kids in tow.

There's also concessions with food, drink (alcoholic and non alcoholic) available for purchase. We did a Go Kart race and laser tag - both were incredibly fun! They have safety videos and help answer any questions you may have, everything was pretty easy for us and our 7 year old - we all had a blast and can't wait to go back!

The staff was friendly, and was accommodating considering we were in about close to closing. The go kart was fun. They gave us a head sock for the helmet and we were off. Small track with big turns but fun. We were given a coupon for a couple drinks. Yes, They have a bar. The VR system was not in use at the moment. They had a gaming area for tickets. And then we went axe throwing for about an hour. The staff was very helpful in teaching us how to throw axe properly. Overall was a good time.

It seems like 2-6 years old would be the ideal age for this place. As a parent, I like that this place is all one room so bringing multiple littles feels easier to manage in an enclosed area. A few of our favorite things include the trampoline, dress up area, swings and the zip line. The sensory room makes a great place to nurse if you don't mind kids running in and out of the room. Haha! I love that the owner organizes games with the kids if they want to play hide and seek or the floor is lava with other kids. Tip: You can call ahead to see how crowded the place is before making the drive over to the gym.

The place was pretty busy on a Wednesday and we were able to get checked in quickly. The kids went outside and most jumped in line for the boats first. My daughter probably rode these 10 times she was soaked and having so much fun. We did the go karts once which was a longer line when you need a double to ride with young kids but it was a lot of fun. She didn't try the mini golf during the time we had but that was an option as well. We ended in the arcade and got a small prize on the way out. So much fun we'll definitely be back.

We went on a weekday in August so it was very easy to pull up and get a kayak right away. My mom didn't join us but she enjoyed walking around the park. They were knowledgable about the river systems and lakes which made being on the water even more interesting. We've lived in neighboring Illinois for years but have only just started exploring the waters in Missouri. It was fun and a chance to spend time together in a different way. It also made me appreciate the natural beauty of Missouri. Seeing the turtles enjoying the sunshine was one of my favorite parts. The only thing I would do differently is go early in the morning when it's cooler.

The skating rink isn't leveled and you can easily be put off balance. They don't play many recent tunes and it appears the owner doesn't care for hip hop music. Snack options lack but the place is a little dirty so I wouldn't order food here anyway. They play a few common skating games and the staff is cool. Again, only come here to let kids hang out with their friends. However I wouldn't recommend if you plan on spending hours eating and listening to good music.

Spoiler alert, our team did not escape. But, our host Jonathan was helpful in providing clues when we asked and told us what we had missed when time ran out. All in all, it was a fun event! My only comment for future guests is that while our reservation allowed up to 8 people, 8 was a little tight once we got into the room. Based on the room size and activities you need to complete, you're probably better off with groups of 4-6.
