Wildside Activity Centre - Wolverhampton

Arley B.

I recently faced delays in my journey due to fallen trees obstructing the canal navigation, which required me to moor at Wildside Activity Centre. I want to take a moment to commend the staff there—they were exceptional! Their helpfulness, courtesy, and genuine concern for my situation made a significant difference during my stay. Their dedication to providing outstanding service truly reflects the spirit of their community.

Thank you for your incredible support!

Myself and both of my children enjoyed the entire trip. The staff were very polite and helpful. My children were really happy to have a turn at steering the boat and then receiving a certificate. We cannot wait to go on again. I would recommend it 💯.

Fantastic small centre trying to give opportunities to local people and groups to experience activities and community support initiatives. Options include narrow boat trips, onsite activities for younger children. School holiday activity days. Etc.

It was our second time visiting wild side today and it was brilliant. We did the wizard and witches potion making and boat ride and it was great from start to finish, the staff are absolutely lovely and so friendly.

My wife organised our sons third birthday party here. We had a party of around 15 toddlers. The staff were very helpful and promptly replied to emails whilst arranging times, dates, etc. It was a great couple of hours. The room is a good size with facilities to cook and make drinks and plenty of seating and tables. The kids all had a great time playing in the small nature trail area and were fully engaged in the activities that were created for them by the staff. This included a dinosaur hunt, bug hunting with magnified pots provided and mud pie making at the mud kitchen. Phil was excellent and was great at getting the kids attention and engaging them in the activities. He was also very informative and passionate about nature and all kids got stuck in. We would definitely recommend this place and would return in future.

I have just finished delivering a plant and tree biology and structure course at Wildside Activity Centre, Hordern Road, Wolverhampton. The facilities are great, the meeting room/lecture room is wonderful, with a superb view over the canal and across to the Smestow Nature Reserve. Included in the room rental is the use of a very good quality digital projector - the wonderful outlook can be blocked off by adequate curtaining to ensure good projector reproduction. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience at Wildside and hope to return again soon to use their great set-up. Those who run the Centre are friendly and very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. Thanks Wildside. Bob Watson

We have attended a childrens party here today, would highly recommend. Fantastic place and fantastic staff. The wildlife mud party is something different for the children to do. All of the children loved the party and loved learning about wildlife. Will be definitely be coming again
