So here is the situation, it’s a typical St. Louis summer day. This means the temperature and humidity climb to a heat index over 100 degrees, every local pool feels like bath water and you have spent the last three days watching re-runs on T.V.  You are about to go crazy from boredom, and to top it all off you have a group of kids running around the house must be entertained. A nightmare, right? So what do you do?

Answer: Chesterfield Sports Fusion.

“There was a need in Chesterfield for family entertainment, 
 especially indoor activities that could be enjoyed year round,” owner Greg Hoffman said.

Hoffman, along with two high school classmates, opened Chesterfield Sports Fusion March 2009 with this idea. The group wanted to create a place with a fun atmosphere where people of all ages could have a great time. Hoffman also wanted to give his own kids some place besides the mall to hang out at during the nighttime.

The idea resulted in a warehouse of fun and it is pretty easy to see why kids and even teens would choose Chesterfield Sports Fusion over the mall.  The place has a boatload of activities to choose from; 18 holes of mini golf, the largest laser tag arena in St. Louis and a rock climbing wall are some of the most popular attractions.  There is also a dodge ball court, a “jump shot” basketball game, a 40 game arcade and an inflatable obstacle course named “The Grind.” 

Because of this variety of activity, Chesterfield Sports Fusion stands out from other indoor play places located in Chesterfield Valley like SkyZone, Pump It Up and Bounce-U.

“We are not one
 dimensional and we provide a variety of fun options that can be enjoyed by 
everyone, not just kids under six.  Those facilities are almost exclusively
 for birthday parties and we are open the general public most of the time,” Hoffman said.

Hoffman is also proud to say that Chesterfield Sports Fusion is locally owned and has a “vested interest in providing an 
entertainment venue that is of value to the community” they live in.  Unlike
 the chain places, the owners are actually there and run the business as only 
owners can do. I saw this while I stopped by to snap some photos.  As soon as I walked in the door, I was met by all three owners who were there working and overseeing a day camp.

The one thing to be wary of about Chesterfield Sports Fusion is the pricing.  It is not a one-price-fits-all deal.  Each different element of the place has a different cost.  Guests pay a set amount of cash and then receive a “card” that they swipe at each element. Luckily the card allows parents to set a limit to just how much they want their kids to spend.
