Alligator's Creek Aquatic Center, O'Fallon

Whether you like to splash around in the swimming pool or prefer a leisurely float, Alligator's Creek Aquatic Center has you covered. This outdoor aquatic facility helps families beat the summer heat, with a pool that features a shallow play area for kids and lap lanes for adults who want to practice their escape from the Loch Ness Monster. For those in search of relaxation, the park's lazy river carries inner tubes along at a gentle pace, whereas a 1-meter diving board encourages the more adventurous to make as big a splash as possible. Two twisting water slides send thrill-seekers flying down a slippery path before they plunge into the water below, and a water playground lets younger visitors enjoy an arch of icy water that shoots up out of the ground. Throughout the summer, the pool also hosts family events including a cardboard boat race, a dog swim, and movie night.
