About
FUNBOX at St Clair Square brings a modern indoor play experience to the Illinois side of the St. Louis metro — located in the St Clair Square mall in Fairview Heights, approximately 15 minutes east of downtown St. Louis across the Mississippi River.
For families in the Illinois portion of the metro area (Belleville, O'Fallon, Swansea, Fairview Heights), it's a convenient local play destination without crossing into Missouri.
The facility features multi-level climbing structures, tube slides, interactive game elements, and activity zones designed for kids ages 3–13. The modern construction and game-integrated play elements give it a more contemporary feel than older-generation indoor play centers, and the variety of activity types means kids at different developmental stages can all find something engaging.
The mall location is a practical advantage: the parking is convenient, the St Clair Square food court and adjacent restaurants provide straightforward meal options, and families can easily combine a FUNBOX visit with nearby errands or shopping without making a separate trip. On inclement weather days, the integrated mall setting means you can arrive, play, eat, and leave without ever going back outside.
Grip socks are typically required for all participants. Bring your own to avoid the purchase at the door. Check the FUNBOX website or social media for current open play hours, as private birthday party bookings occasionally close the facility to drop-in visitors during peak times.
