Who says New Year's Eve celebrations are just for adults? Under adult supervision, children ages 8-13 can have the time of their lives swimming, ice skating, seeing a balloon drop at midnight, and participating in other planned activities at the Rec Plex in St. Peters. Kids will have a safe and enjoyable environment for having fun so parents can have a night out. The New Year's Eve Lock-In begins at 7 p.m. on Dec. 31 and pick up is at 7 a.m. on Jan. 1.
Advance registration is required. Cost varies according to membership and residency.
