"This establishment opened it's doors in December 2006, and has filled a void within the Rainham area for children and their parents alike. Situated close to Rainham Train Station and the local Bus stops this make it easily accessible to all. Once thought of as a area that was lacking in children's attractions Go Wild is becoming one of the most popular venues within the area.
Located off of Dover's Corner Roundabout, it is clearly sign posted, the car park has Disabled Parking bays and also an overflow car park to ease traffic at busy times. From the outside the building looks very basic, although on entering you are greeted with a Jungle themed Play Activity Centre. With brightly coloured Jungle pictures , jungle pushes, a 2 storey Climbing apparatus which is surrounded in green safety netting and much more. The payment desk is directly in front of the entrance doors, to enter the activity centre you have to go through a secure gate. This prevents any child from exiting the premises without adult supervision. There are 6 highchairs available to use, which are cleaned regularly, the establishment is Fully Air Conditioned too, great on those summer days!
There is a Café/Restaurant within the facilities, with ample tabled seating area which is facing the Activity Areas. There is also a smaller lounge area with sofas and coffee tables for a more relaxing atmosphere. This arrangement enables parents and carers to watch over their children with peace of mind that they are safe and secure, as they can be seen at all times. The menu has a variety of food and drink choices which are reasonably priced, all food is freshly prepared. There is a Baby Changing room and Disabled Toilet, as well as “Boys” and “Girls” toilet facilities on site. These all include stepping stools to help children who are a little to small to reach the facilities. All toilets are checked on a regular basis and are always clean and are hygienic.
Go Wild also caters for the younger children by having a self contained soft play area, whilst being for the younger children this is a nice area for parents/carers to interact with their children. Parents/Carers can also supervise younger less confident children on the larger equipment and in the ball pool. The ball pool is separated from the other areas with two individual entrances, it also contains a slide and steps all made from soft material to ensure your children's safety. The larger area consists of three staggered entrances which you need to climb up to play on the upper levels. Each section has different activities for them to enjoy, including large inflated balls, fixed rotating pillars, monkey swing, rope ladders and an enclosed snake shaped slide and much more.
At this venue they specialise in Birthday Parties or VIP Parties where you can hire the venue for a two hour period just for you and you guests to enjoy. . All birthday parties are held within a private area, this is decorated with table cloths, plates, cups, balloons, and banners. At the parties the birthday child gets a special visit from Leo the Lion who is Go Wild's Mascot, children love Leo he comes out to help celebrate while everyone is singing 'Happy Birthday' and blowing out their candles. Photo's are very welcome and Leo is very happy to shake hands and have cuddles whilst visiting.

When we visited Go Wild we took our children and also our nephews, the ages ranged from 1 to 10. We found that being able to relax with a cup of tea and watch the children without worry was great. We sat on the comfy sofa's which I have to say are the best, we ordered a Jug of Juice which we found to be great value for money. The jug is a large size and you can choose between Blackcurrant and Orange for £2.50, you are also supplied with as many plastic cups as you require. With the children running around at super speed within the Centre they were very hot and thirsty, so this was a perfect idea for them. We ate whilst here and the food was great, I was quiet surprised at the speed from ordering to receiving our food to be honest. Even though they were busy they still brought our food to our table and were helpful and polite.
The snake slide seemed to be a favourite with the children, it is located at the top of the activity centre and is a little scary for some children as it is enclosed and looks dark inside. Once they have the courage to tackle it, you can see they are so pleased with themselves just by looking at their faces at the bottom. The bottom of the slide has safety mats to prevent them from injury. Although another favourite was the Monkey Swing also located at the top. It is on a runner which has a large Red Ball at the base which you sit on, at each end are foam walls with pictures on. These are used to help push off of to go faster, (well this is what our children were doing) underneath is rope effect base and a centre base with another foam circle padding.
The children thoroughly enjoyed there visit here and we will be going back, I think if you are looking for a activity which will certainly tire your children as well as doing something healthy this is the place.
