Wildhagen Greenhouses

Admission into Adventure Gardens for kids is expensive $12.99 for child of any age, $7.99 per adult. See admission costs. Plus the cost of food. Should be $10 entry for entire family. Activities here are highly limited when compared to other farms, play places, etc. Lots of decor, "eye candy" for the kids (where lots of obvious effort is concentrated). Scavanger hunt, forest trail, and train to watch are good. Although for younger kids, this gets really boring. This place needs greater hands on activities and wide open space and equipment for physical activity. Cannot access kids restaurant if admission if not paid first. Came here on a week day. Climate controlled barn is good. However, not enough traffic to excite the kids. Too bad, as the concept of pizza and play is truly attractive. Completely agree with Mary Wong's review of this place. Response to owner: Still, I believe the admission cost is completely prohibitive. Just because people are paying to get in, it doesn't mean you've gained a repeat/loyal customer. Admin fees don't justify the value of activities for the kids comparable to other kids play places.

Addendum to my review- I have added one star because the owner contacted me and was so kind and empathetic. It was clear that she loves what she does and making kids happy is her priority. Given that I have been to Wildhagen at least 5 other times without concern, I am chalking up my experience to a one off! I have previously been here with my twins and raved about it. I actually contemplated buying a season pass this year for my 5 year old twins. I'm glad that I didn't. We were there today and even though it was half price admission, I still paid $23 in the pouring rain (initially charged $28, regular price as the lady forgot it was Tuesday...promptly I was refunded). We were the first to arrive and while the play area was neat and organized, things have changed since last year and many of the toys have seen better days. The dress up costumes, for example, look very worn and many items are broken (e.g. strap of pretend purse). We couldn't find the puck to the air hockey table and the Fisher price house with the Pet Spa had a loose wall and it actually caused me to topple onto my bottom. Many of the pets themselves could use a clean and have seen better days. We couldn't find many of the accessories in the house with the Dora Kitchen. Many of the Mr. Potato heads have been coloured on and simply could use a thorough scrub. Also several bins holding them in place were falling off of the wall. Thankfully the plasma card are still there around the Mary's diner area. The scooters are no longer there and the colouring centre with crayons were MIA. I did see several broken crayons scattered around with Mr. Potato heads. Bathrooms were initially clean when we arrived. Staff was prompt when I advised him of an obvious child's accident. I was a little dismayed to see toys scattered outside the bathroom and left there (obviously by a child who didn't advise his/her parent). After I advised staff of the uncleanly bathroom, I saw him return the toys to their respective areas for further use. While the toys were not inside the bathrooms, they were too close for comfort for my liking. It was raining so we didn't enjoy the scavenger hunt. I think that the play area really needs to be better tended to. This 'pet spa' really has nothing for kids to actually do to clean and/or care for the animals. They are simply scattered inside a plastic play house. I don't think that it was worth the $23 as my kids could have done the same at home. While I thought of ordering a pizza (which we have had before and was the best around), the cost was off-putting. Sadly, I don't think that I will be back and no longer will I be recommending Wildhagen my kids' friends.

Came here as part of a school trip and the activities for the kids are plenty with a mix of learning and just play. We were also served pizza which is actually very good, authentic Italian flavour and I think they use a wood oven. Regardless we thoroughly enjoyed the pizza! Will definitely be back.

What a fabulous trip!!!!! The day was extremely organized and the children were busy with a variety of activities. It is evident that the owners take pride in providing an amazing adventure!! We took 88 kindergarten students (in the rain!!!) and they didn't even noticed the weather! They were having too much fun!! The pizza was a hit!!! St. Timothy's school will be back!!!!!

I went for herbs and resist buying a tray of marigolds (cheap) and many more other flowers. Everything I looked at was very healthy and the staff was very knowledgeable/friendly. They also gave a heads up for a chance of frost that night (my peas are safe) thank you!!!

Stopped by to grab some seedlings for my garden box. The place was small but had a great selection for very reasonable pricing. Staff were lovely, and informative. They were sure to warn me of the frost points and advised what to do with the plants should the temp get too low at night.

Worth the drive from Toronto! My boys loved it. So much thought and effort put into every little detail. Even the pizza... when was the last time you had pizza where the cheese stretched as long as your arm?! So good. I’m hoping to be back just to browse the actual greenhouses and purchase some beautiful flowers. Keep up the good work Wildhagen family.

Fabulous place to spend the day with your kids. Toddler friendly with so much to see and do. Plan to spend a few hours at least but could easily be a half or full day adventure. Beautiful establishment, very clean and friendly/cheerful staff. Try the pizza. Delicious cheesy goodness with the perfect crust.
