WildPlay Element Parks

Wild play is a nice place to take the kids on a Saturday afternoon and they can play like jungle Jack and jungle salmon George of the jungle and just have a great time the good ones part of the set up for younger kids part of the set up for bigger kids for the ropes or a pie and the kids can be A little bit more brave and go up on the higher up ropes so it’s good place to bring the kids have some fun not too expensive great way to kill a day

Great place to have fun in the wilderness. It’s like doing an obstacle course in a forest and really tests your balance as well. Safety is definitely a priority here and as long as you pay attention during the safety demonstration and follow their procedures it’s quite safe. It can get busy so try booking in advance of possible. Definitely recommend for everyone, even just one time.

Fun. Friendly staff. Safety is top priority.
Downfall is the wait time as there could be lots of people on the course.

My kids loved this adventure park. The large course kept them challenged and working hard. Even the price wasn’t too bad. We will defiantly go again.

About two years ago, I came to Golden Ears for a walk with a friend and a much-​needed day away from the city. We briefly looked in at Wild Play and I came away with the incorrect impression that it was geared towards kids.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago and one of my best friends picked me up for a birthday surprise on a quiet Saturday morning. Being that we both love indoor rock climbing I assumed that we were going to learn how to rock climb outdoors. How wrong I was, but it was certainly an adventure!
It took us about 45 minutes to make the trek through to Maple Ridge, short of the hour predicted by the GPS. Our check-​in process was quite painless, as was signing the waiver, which requires more than just one’s signature and date. We were about half an hour early for our booking, and the booth staff were nice enough to accommodate us to an earlier time slot.
Not too long after, our guide met us to get fitted for our gear. The three of us made our way over to the training section, which consists of a few short obstacles to test your ability to follow instructions and go through the long course safely. Our guide explained to us that once we were up in the trees doing the course, she would follow by foot on the ground. We could shout out to her at any stage if we had any difficulty. If they do see you being reckless they will end your experience immediately. What she did not explain was that she would not be following us for the whole thing. That left us a bit unnerved when about ¹⁄₃ of the way through she disappeared without warning. I should note that there are other guides throughout the course but you do have to make some noise to get their attention.
The ‘Monkido Classic’ is a self-​guided course that consists of a few short zip-​lines, rope swings, some tightrope walks and log/​plank walks among a few other obstacles. You are harnessed in at all times and go at your own pace, though there are usually groups in front and behind you. As you progress you clip yourself in and out from the myriad safety ropes along the course. At the beginning you are a mere two meters off the ground, but by the time you’re finished you’ll be fourteen meters high. It usually takes around an hour and a half, which was right on the nose for us.
I must admit, I’m not known for my bravery. I’ve ziplined before, but usually from great heights and with my eyes closed. There were several points over the classic course where I was just not comfortable at all. It wasn’t a safety thing — it was a comfort thing. Several times you just have to step off the platform and believe you’ll be fine. Other obstacles require you to walk across tiny precarious/​wobbly logs or rolls. My friend felt the same way. Strangely I also didn’t do well on the ziplines — I rode one backwards and one sideways though that certainly wasn’t my intention. I find ziplines with guides who take care of everything for you are that much easier to navigate, though you’ll certainly pay for the privilege. I was glad once we had finished, but enjoyed the experience, despite the nerves. We did not seriously consider doing the Extreme course which I understand would only have added $ 10 to our day.
Overall, this was certainly a worthwhile experience. For $ 35 you really can’t go wrong, and it really does make a memorable gift. The people who work at Wild Play seem to really like it, and they pass on their enthusiasm in spades. The course is anything but easy, and you really have to trust yourself and your capabilities. It helps to go with a friend who will egg you on. Wear flexible clothing, bring some water and a snack bar or two and perhaps some spare courage.

Wild play is wild good place to have massive amounts of in adulterated fun per say big tree nice rope good kids play swing from trees like monkey man weeee I love the ropes the ropes are good keep you from falling to the ground wild play per say…

Wildplay monkido is like an obstacle course in the trees. It’s definitely exhilarating doing all this climbing and ziplining so high up from the ground. I just wish the staff was more organized. We made a reservation and still ended up having to wait almost 45 minutes from our scheduled check in time to get started.
I know other people were experiencing the same issue that day because it was busy but staff should have kept us informed.
Other than that, great experience. But would probably recommend going at a non-​peak time.

Wild Play is amazing. You are standing in an old camp ground that has been cleaned up to perfection. It is a great feeling walking around here with the towering trees and watching people have so much fun on the stunts. It is safe, they do training before you are unleashed into the trees. Safety is top priority and the staff are great. They are happy too which make the experience there so so much fun. You can even do events there. I go watch my wife play monkey in the trees and groups are having camp fires and packed meals. Such a great hang out.
