3. Two Locations, One Mission: Fun
Both of our locations bring something special to the table.
St. Charles offers plenty of parking and easy access from anywhere in the county. It’s an excellent choice for families or groups coming in for holiday shopping and dining on Main Street.
Downtown St. Louis, located right across from the Arch, offers big-city energy and walkable fun for both tourists and locals. It’s the perfect stop before or after visiting the Arch grounds, grabbing dinner, or catching holiday lights downtown.
Whichever location you choose, you’ll find high-quality sets, immersive storylines, and our friendly staff ready to make sure your group has a blast.
