Top 10 Fun Things to do in O'Fallon MO

StorCo Team | September 25, 2021 @ 12:00 AM

O’Fallon is a Missouri city of 91,300 residents, so you can bet there’s plenty to do. 

There’s always dinner and a movie as an option but we want to give you some other recommendations for when you want to try something different. 

To make it as simple as possible for you, here are our 10 recommendations in alphabetical order. 

 

18 North Central

The tagline for 18 North Central is, “Where grown-ups come to play with family and friends.” This is an amusement center for adults featuring laser tag, ax-throwing, and something called cybersport demo ball. 

This is a game for 10 or more players, a blend between lacrosse and bumper cars. You drive a unique bumper car and attempt to guide a ball toward your goal while blocking the opposite team.

You can also rent “The Loft,” a 4,000 square foot event space for up to 200 guests for your wedding reception or another event. Or, you can get a party package for the games and a buffet.

 

Cloud Nine Massage

Stressed out from modern life? Cloud Nine Massage can help you relax. They offer various types of massage and services, including barefoot massage, deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, couples’ massage, pregnancy massage, and Reiki.

 

Fort Zumwalt Park

Bring your family to this 48-acre public park surrounding Lake Whetsel for a fun day. Fort Zumwalt Park has a playground for kids, a picnic pavilion, and a shelter house to relax in or explore. It’s also the home to the reconstructed homestead of Jacob Zumwalt, founder of O’Fallon.

You can also walk or cycle along the trails and from February to October every year, you can fish in the lake.

 

Krekel Home

The reconstructed home at Fort Zumwalt Park isn’t the only historic building in O’Fallon. There’s also the Krekel Home, which was home to one of the men who helped found O’Fallon, Nicholas Krekel. His brother, Arnold Krekel, helped found the city, too, but this is where Nicholas lived.

He built it in the 1850s facing the Missouri Railroad. For a while, the first floor was a general store, and later the post office. You can now explore the home to get a taste of 19th-century life. The O’Fallon Historical Society maintains the building.

 

Lillian Yahn Gallery

Lillian Yahn Gallery, run by the Crossroads Arts Council, showcases art by local artists. It includes art studios and a boutique and teaches classes. It’s dedicated to journalist Lillian Yahn, who was part of the Oak Leaf Artists’ Guild and the St. Charles Artists’ Guild.

You can expect to see a new artist showcased every month, such as Brenda Frasier, who was featured in July 2021.

 

O'Day Park

Here’s another big park with lots of enjoyable space. O’Day Park is 57 acres large. It includes an adventure playground, picnic pavilions, lots of walking paths, an amphitheater where performances are often staged, and a beautiful building, O’Day Lodge, which you can reserve for special occasions. The park is filled with shady trees and plants.

 

Rockin' Jump O'Fallon

With rock climbing walls, bouncy dodge ball, trampolines that let you score slam dunks, a ninja course, and more, Rockin’ Jump O’Fallon is a fun place to take your kids for a party or a few hours of exercise and adventure.

The facility has different hours depending on age, so check the website for details.

 

Two Shamrocks Public House

Who doesn’t love the atmosphere of an Irish pub? Two Shamrocks Public House with many types of beer and a robust menu. 

Food includes mozzarella sticks, tater tots, wings, pretzels, Irish potato soup, various sandwiches, burgers, fried chicken, smoked meats, and more, made from scratch.

 

The Gallery-O’Fallon

Want to spark your creativity? Then check out The Gallery-O’Fallon, a co-op for artisans that gives them a space to show off and sell their mixed-media art. Local artists Michael German, a professional photographer, and Suzanne Schwab, a miniature maker, run the gallery and exhibit their work.

Of course, you’ll find art by many others, too, including sketches, framed prints, and a lot more. They’re always looking for new artisans to join them.

 

Two Pink Elephants

Two Pink Elephants is a fun place to shop for women who enjoy boutique clothing. Of course, you can shop online, but if you have time, check out their physical store. Bekah Harris and Annette Zacho are the women who run the boutique using their experience in marketing and graphic design. They began by selling clothing out of their homes and later opened this designer shop. You’ll find apparel for all sizes, jewelry, accessories, and more.
