Wear best glow in the dark gear (we didn't and regretted it). 9 holes but the owner actually said he just painted some modifications to make it 18 holes soon. Water wheel, open and closing doors, totem poles, giant ramps! There are a lot of awesome features in a compact, indoor, private experiment. Super fun!

Our kids had a blast and it was the perfect little indoor fun day. I love that it's private and the…read morekids can be as loud as they want and we can take our time. The owner was so proud to show us the party room and you could tell he really took pride in his business. He was so sweet to our kids and he engaged with them when they were proud of themselves for doing well! Try to wear white cause it looks really awesome in the black light!

On the outside the place doesn't look look like much - yet, once you enter you realize where they…read morefocus their money. Looking at the exterior - you wouldn't expect everything that is inside this building - bowling, a bar, laser tag, and an arcade. The, unfortunate thing about this place is that they may be still trying to recoup the investment of these renovations. Played the VR arcade of Beat Saber - $5.00 for a 3 minute game is kind of on the expensive side. But it does seem they have specials so that you could possibly get your money's worth - if you show up at the right time. It is a definitely a lovely addition to the small town of St. Joseph.

We didn't get started til 10:30pm because checking in, paying, getting our shoes, and setting up our lanes took so long. That said, we had a great time and the food was delicious.

This place is truly one of the best gems in Saint Joseph. We have been bringing my daughter here…read moreonce a month for nearly three years and it never gets old. The location is right next to the Missouri River and has a gorgeous view. There is a lovely little porch with chairs and picnic tables. The center provides binoculars and books to help identify local birds. My daughter loves the huge fish tank display of native fish. She also enjoys the tortoises and the snakes in the Snake Room. They are almost always having a scavenger hunt for the kids with prizes. Personally, I enjoy browsing the reading material in the little store and have bought several books. There is a very detailed exhibit on the history of Saint Joseph which is really interesting. It includes details that I have not read about anywhere else. So if you enjoy history, you should definitely pay this place a visit.

My son started at 2.5 years…read moreand was potty trained in the first week (talk about the positive effects of peer modeling and the experience and patience of the teachers!). He stayed at La Petite until he started kindergarten and built such loving and supportive relationships with his teachers over the years. He was well prepared, even ahead of the game, when it came to kindergarten readiness. My daughter started attending at 6 months old. She loves the friends and teachers she has here and looks forward to coming to see them each day. I feel so comfortable knowing my kids are happy and thriving in this environment. Teachers genuinely care about the kids, practice conscious discipline and Montessori techniques, and guide children through play-based learning to achieve new skills and knowledge at each level of development. Kids get plenty of outside play time when the weather is nice and even have their own garden! As a professor of child development and as a mother I can't recommend La Petite of St. Joseph enough
