My daughter attended their summer camp a couple of years ago, and she recently had her 7th birthday party here. The space is the absolute best for birthday parties, both indoor and out. It's such a fun and creative space for little ones to play, explore, dance and make art. Tennyson was so wonderful in helping me plan and book the perfect party and Rachael was an amazing facilitator the day of. Can't say enough good things about Gathering Wild!

We had our first play session at gathering wild today and I wish I had discovered this awesome space sooner! My daughter loved all of the sensory experiences and playing with Kylie and Teddy. We can’t wait to go back next week :) I would highly recommend for parents and kids!

We booked a mobile party and were exceptionally happy with the result. The team arrived and set up early and the kids had an amazing time. The staff who hosted the party were fantastic and engaged with the kids throughout. They packed up quickly at the end and there was no mess, as if there hadn't just been 10 children making slime and potions and slime for 2 hours at all. Would whole heatedly recommend!

Had my daughter’s 2nd birthday party there and it was a hit. We had invited 5 other toddlers and their parents, and it was about the right size. We have our hands full with 2 under 2, so it was important to find a location where we could just show up and everything would be taken care of. Kylie was great in asking the right questions and getting things set up for us the way we wanted. We opted for Kylie Sing-Along as well as catering, which freed up our time to interact with other parents. The kids had so much fun the only time there was a meltdown was when it was time to go home. I highly recommend this place for toddler birthdays!

My six year old loved her time at camp here! The kids have a ton of autonomy to explore their environment that is curated for messy explorative play. Every morning we were greeting by the teachers who were super warm and welcoming! (They also accommodated my request for single day or partial week arrangements and were responsive by email.) The daily park visits also mean she had plenty of time run around. my kiddo really loved it and we will be back :) thank you!

My 4 year old has been going to Wild Club since winter 2022. We also did 6 weeks of summer camp at Gathering Wild. What can I say about it? He always comes back FILTHY, proudly carrying his latest artistic piece, and with the happiest smile ever. Tennyson and all of the other staff there are fantastic. They have a special way with children. My son is a bit timid, and slow to warm up, but at Gathering Wild he feels confident and eager to go in. He always counts the days to the weekend, because he knows he will be going to Wild Camp.

Words can’t describe how much fun we had with our daughter’s fifth birthday! We invited a princess due to my daughter’s wish, however, this place is magical enough that the girls almost left the princess alone and interacted with all the other fantastic things in the backyard. Let Kylie and Tennyson do their job, they’ll get everything handled, don’t waste the extra money to invite any other performers.A little heads up, if you are doing the collaborative canvas, be prepared to get really messy! But the girls had a blast! Totally worth the effort!Thank you Kylie and Tennyson, you really did gather a lot of wild ones today!

My kids (5.5 and 4) are just wrapping up their first week of camp at Gathering Wild and I have to say, I think this might be the best camp in the city. Pulling my kids away at the end of the day is nearly impossible! Highlights from the week include the kids using a glue gun by themselves, and each kid sewed something! My daughter made a dress (which we think she wore to the park? Cool!) and my son made a blanket and pillow which he's been sleeping with since. With such a low ratio of campers to teachers, this camp is really very special. We're back in two weeks and we'll be back next year for sure!

We had our daughter's 6th birthday at Gathering Wild, using the outdoor space on a sunny day. The kids (ages 4-6) absolutely loved it! There was an endless supply of activities (paint, potions, costumes, etc...) for them to try, with zero mess for me to clean up at the end. I would absolutely book it again for a fun and easy birthday!
