Swing-A-Round

A family fun day. Batting cages, bumper boats, race cars were a few of my families favorites. They offer mini golf and tons of canes inside on those HOT days. The only thing I would say is eat somewhere else. Food is not tasty and had no flavor.

We tried to use a Groupon for 4 «all day fun passes» that we paid $ 69 for and we were told that we would have to pay an additional $ 5 for taxes even though every other business/​attraction I’ve used Groupons for, including Swing Around Fun Town last summer, has never charged me tax on top of my purchase price. The manager even tried to trick me with a highlighted paper from Groupon that says nothing about taxes. She highlighted their hours and days and tried to pretend that it was about taxes. I feel completely scammed and would never want to visit their business again.

Teenage Dream, oh yeah, like old school style.
My hubs and I went mini golfing with a couple of friends and had a blast. You can do 9, 18, or 27 holes and it is very reasonably priced. We did 18 holes and used courses 1 & 3. It was the nicest one we’ve been to in the STL area but we have only been to one other one. There are waterfalls (which are cool but smell a little funny and look a little foamy) and fun little complications around the holes. On warm summer nights there are singing frogs out, which is pretty cool. It was a little dark on the course which made it hard to see. They could use some more lighting or at least stand to replace several burnt out light bulbs. They have a small arcade inside. Outside, in addition to mini golf, they bumper boats, go carts, and batting cages. We didn’t try anything else but it looked like fun. If it weren’t so far away we would be back more often but we wills def be back at some point.

Our 5 & 7 year olds had a blast here. The staff was very accommodating and patient. Look for coupon deals, wristbands are the way to go. Great management, pretty clean, no complaints!

My kids and I love this place! So much to do. We love the batting cages, go carts and of course the games! We have had parties here in the party room, that Swing Around provided food and fun in the price. Also we have just showed up for a quick hour get away break with just the family. This place is always fun!

We went on a summer day with a wrist band Groupon for exterior play only. It was a blast riding the go carts over and over and over again. The bumper boats were OK too, but too many kids spray you and you get soaked. The batting cages were in good condition. We didn’t try the putt putt, so I can’t comment on that. The fries were good, but the food is a little pricey for what you get. We really liked the go carts, so this is getting a 4.

Went on a Saturday for the unlimited wristband day, such a great value! Go carts, mini gold, bumper boats and batting cages. The go carts are by far the most fun. All around pretty fun.

I think this place is fun to kill a couple hours.3 courses of mini golf (and you can do 3 courses in 1 go if you want to), batting cages, bumper boats, and a go kart track, and a mini 1 for the little ones.

Disgusting! I have two young kids and looking for something to do on a rainy afternoon. I read they had an indoor play area so we headed up there. We played in the soft play area until the film on our hands and the smell of vomit drove us out and onto some games. I played the skateboarding game with my son. We both had some black black gunk on our hands that took several washings and some force to get off. It was lunch time but i couldn’t bring myself to order food from there. I’ll stick to the outside fun from now on. If you’re looking for some cheap entertainment with a free side of Ecoli this is the place to be! I’m not usually OCD but i threw EVERYTHING in the wash when i got home, even shoes. Everyone took a shower. Not interested in a house full of stomach viruses, thanks.

Good for families, kids, and kids at heart! BF and I checked out SAFT for something new and different to do outside, and had a blast. We played miniature golf, rode go-​karts, and hit slow pitch softballs in the batting cages. It was the perfect weather– cool and overcast– so not too crowded and no waiting. The facility is well organized, clean, and plenty of staff. Prices are reasonable. Looks like the indoors would be good during bad weather, for birthday parties, or those into kiddie arcade games. We checked it out but took a pass, opting for the outdoors fun instead.
Not having kids, it wouldn’t be a place I would frequent, but I would definitely return and recommend.

Stay outside and you should be fine. The go-​karts and putt-​putt are a blast and are a decent value. However, 25% of the games inside were off or not accepting coins, and half of the games that were working would not dispense the tickets won. The employees were very unsympathetic and acted like we were bothering them when we notified them of the game issues.
The bottom line is, there is value in the outside activities, but don’t spend money in the arcade unless you are prepared to waste money and get a bad attitude.

I have been going to SAFT = swing around fun town since I was 17. Regardless of how old I am it is still a fun place if you are a kid at heart. From Mimi golfing to rage-​ful swinging at the bat cage, this place will find something for you to do. Prop bet on skee-​ball or play some ddr and looking goofy as goofy. I do all these thing, not because I am a loser but because I am awesome. The pizza is not bad either if you don’t have high standards for kid food. :)

We just had my sons birthday party here last Sunday and he had a blast. He wants next years to be here too. We usually do it at our house but this was soooo much easier. We booked it over the phone with a $ 20 deposit. For $ 14 you get the party room for an hour with pizza and soda and then they were able to pick 3 activities. My son ended up picking bumper boats, mini golf, and the arcade. You also get a helper who does everything for you which was awesome, she served the pizza & soda, lit the candles, cut the cake, make a bday present list, etc. The bumper boats were good, we had 10 kids and only 9 boats were running so two kids had to share and my sons ended up dying on him too but they gave him extra tokens in the arcade for that. They had a blast in the arcade and the mini golf was good but very long. 8 and 9 year old going through 18 holes takes a loooong time. We would defiantly come back!
FYI, they do have go karts which he wanted to do, but you have to be 58 inches.

Swing-​A-​Round Fun Town was a blast for this little girl I was babysitting and myself. She had been here previously and showed me around and what not.
We had some coupons which took a great deal off the expense of the whole experience. For $ 26, we each had around of 9 hole golf, batting cages, bumper boats, and one go in the double seater go-​karts. The coupons saved us $ 15. Thanks goodness for them.
The golf course was an easy play for the entire family. The course isn’t difficult, but it does have a little challenge in it for the youngsters. If you’re a pro golfer, this course would definitely offend you with their pseudo sand bunkers.
Go-​karts were fun. The track has a few winding spots. If you’re looking to go crazy in a turn, accelerate on the gas and go for it! The little girl loved me living life on the edge when we did this, I tell you.
Batting cages are fun. They offer different ranges from ‘soft ball’ throws to ‘extremely fast’ throws for the baseball enthusiasts. Her and I stuck to the soft ball cages. As time progressed, our hitting the balls got better. You get 14 throws per cage token.
Bumper boats were my favorite. Before babysitting that evening, I had no idea that I was going to be getting soaked by the water guns provided on the bumper boats themselves. It was a blast, and I ended up being drenched after all was said and done. To think she wasn’t even spraying me that much, it was actually a couple of other kids that attacked me. Go fig.
I had a lot of fun. I think the amenities are a bit outdated, but still a great time for the whole family for decent pricing.

We booked a party for our son’s 6^th birthday after he had a great time at a friend’s party here. Everyone had a great time and it was very affordable! They made him feel very special and were very hospitable.
The party was on a Thursday night, so it was not that busy and that was bonus. Booking during the week saved us some money too. Upon arriving, there was a big sign outside the party room that was personalized and said happy birthday. He thought that was so cool. Included in the package price was a tattoo that he got to choose from a huge board of selections. The kids ran around for about 10 minutes in the game room while the pizza cooked. The hostess served the pizza, drinks and cake. After the food he opened his presents and the hostess wrote down all the gifts and who brought them.
We chose two activities for the kids to do so following the food and gifts. We went outside and did bumper boats first. The bumper boats were a huge hit. The next activity was go karts and they were humorously slow, but perfect for 5 – 7 year olds. Finally we finished inside with video games.
To summarized, the kids had a blast and it will be a great childhood memory for our son. The entire staff was super friendly and made sure interact with him and call him by his name. This place is highly recommended for a birthday party and I’m sure we’ll be visiting several times this summer just for fun.

It’s one of those places where you didn’t think it was great until you took a ride around the block and realized it’s one of the best places for mini-​golf in town!
I initially started my interest in mini-​golf at Swing Around fun town, at first I wasn’t particularly fond of the somewhat cheesy décor and sometimes floating scents of the motor oil or dirty pond water. But after going to a few other places subsequently, I couldn’t wait to get back to this mini course. There are three courses each with 9 holes. The quality of the courses are far superior than any other mini golf place I’ve been to in st. louis, in terms of the quality of the décor (though cheesy, it’s kept up well), and the uniqueness of the courses (each with a different challenge).
The go-​karts are… well somewhat scary since you feel like they might easily fall apart on you… but on the plus side, if you are usually a grandma driver like me, you will feel like a bad ass driving these. I was going maybe 20 miles per hour on those puppies and beating all the other kiddos.
All in all, it’s a great place for clean fun! an alternative to the normal st. louis adulthood activities of bar crawling and club hopping.

I completely outgrew this place, but I always enjoyed playing mini golf on a hot summer’s day. I never was tall enough for the go karts at the time. Maybe that’s why I am bitter about this place even to this day. lol

I always felt like getting behind the wheel of our tiny Corolla was like driving a go-​kart. Until I drove a real go-​kart and realized 78 on the highway doesn’t come close to 25 on the track.
SAR has a night’s worth of activities for every member of your family — even the littlest ones and the scardiest girlfriends. The go-​kart track is fantastic. Once you realize you can’t flip the suckers, it gets a lot better. The funniest thing is the cars are sponsored by local businesses! I wondered aloud if the #8 Pasta House car drove as bad as their food tasted.
The mini-​golf is need of a rehab, but it’s still entertaining. Bumper boats & batting cages add to the emptiness in your wallet. If you get bored of drinking yourself into a stupor or watching the latest disposable Hollywood drek, head down to Fenton for a few hours of real fun.

This place is ideal for mini golf, and offers better prices than The Infield in Ellisville. It also seems like a great place for a kid’s birthday party, as it is expansive enough for everyone to run around and have a good time, but also contained by fences. Indoors, they serve ice-​cream and other treats, and even have an arcade and party rooms. They also offer go-​carts for adults and kids, batting cages, bumper boats, a kiddie train, and of course, mini golf. Although their three 18-​hole golf paths are in need of some repair and pizazz, they’re still a lot of fun and I can almost pretend I’m on vacation here. Ahhh, wouldn’t that slice of luxury be nice!
