We had our 6-year old's birthday party here (we also had his 5th birthday party here last year). Everything went great! The kids loved it. In terms of ease of having a birthday party, this is the place to do it. You can drop off your stuff and decorations in advance and they'll set it up for you right before the party. They take care of everything during the party (entertaining the kids, feeding them whatever food you brought, etc...). But, most importantly, they are really good are leading the kids in all sorts of different fun activities. We had Cassandra, Audrey, and Justin and everybody was great! read more

Such a fun and clean place for kids! The staff was friendly, and we had a great time. Definitely recommend! Ben-Oni is the best read more

Wild Child Gym - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Culver City, California

We did the four-week membership to try out Wild Child. I saw Wild Child when I was in Downtown Culver City and I was looking for a place for my son to work on some gross motor skills in a safe environment. From the first day I went there, we were warmly welcomed into the space by Coaches Ben-Oní, Selah, and Audrey. In the last month, I have seen my son's confidence grow in his gross motor skills. I really liked the minimalist design of the space. There are no screens, and lots of encouragement to use the imagination, which is a major plus to me! I also really liked how they had structured and unstructured times in the class. All of the coaches encourage and respect children's boundaries. They taught me to not hurry my son, and that is something I am really grateful I learned from them. Two challenges with Wild Child are around parking and timing of classes. Though there is a lot on Watseka that does free 60 min parking, it can be difficult to time parking so that there is adequate time to get in and out of class with a toddler within the time frame. Secondly, many of the classes and Free Play for my son's age range were at times that conflicted with his schedule. For the price point, I would like more options that work for us. TLDR; I would recommend Wild Child and I hope Wild Child offers more morning class times. read more

Stop scrolling! Wild Child Gym is the best....trained staff, unbeatable location, safety, and the rockin' music. They truly think of everything. Our son just had his 5th birthday at the Culver City location. Let me tell you...it was an unforgettable time. They are pros! Figure out your budget, reserve the date, discuss details like how many people and theme, and enjoy your child's big day. They even recommend local businesses to support and buy food. No pressure from any of them. They are here to support you and your child. I was worried our son and his class aged out of the place, but I was totally wrong. Our son and his 4, 5, and 6 year old friends had a friggin' blast. The parents caught a break while the kids were entertained! What else can you ask for. The party coaches were on top of everything from entertainment, passing out the food, even with gloves, telling us what we needed to do, and etc. They were engaged and truly made our son feel special. I am pretty sure other parents at our party will be booking more parties here soon so you should not hesitate. We have also enrolled in spring and summer camps. They are fantastic! You can leave your kid confidently that they are safe and happy. If you have your party there, the kids will recognize the coaches. The familiarity and connection with kids and coaches are undeniable. It showed at the party that they have fun and learn! Having the same staff is a testament of how well they run their business. Everyone from the director to the coaches have been pleasant and helpful. Because our son was a pandemic baby, we did not have the good fortune to utilize this gym. I stopped in and saw small toddlers enjoy. Just enroll. I so glad we found them, and I know you will too. They have changed our lives during camp season and now an unforgettable birthday. read more

This is less of a review and more of a thank you note to Audrey and Scott. These two are the Wild Child staff that hosted our event, and they are incredibly gifted at what they do. What do they do, you may be asking, they make your child happy. They are entertainers, artists, and fire pokers to the imagination. We recently celebrated my daughter's birthday at Wild child, and she smiled from ear to ear the entire time. Audrey made my daughter feel special, and she did so without excluding the other children. We had around 13-15 kids at the event and each one was active the entire time. I'm talking: puppet shows, parachute, bubbles, boat rides and surfing the blue pyramid. That's to say nothing of the climbing wall, the grass patch, the tunnel, and more. Audrey and Scott, thank you for making this an incredibly memorable birthday for us. I can wait to book yall for forty-... well my next birthday. You guys do adults, right?! I kid, but I can guarantee you haven't seen the last of us. We are incredibly appreciative of the fun you fostered. I highly recommend considering Wild Child for your child's birthday! read more

Audrey, the coach and other coaches are awesome! They led the kids and parents well providing pilot lesson since it was 40 year anniversary under Top Gun affiliated foundation or franchise. Audrey helped my 1.5 year old grandson in teaching to the top hill and while she patiently assisted all kids explore various activities during one hour lesson. Highly recommended read more

Terrible experience at Wild Child. I saw a free-play class online, called three times with no answer, and drove 35+ minutes with my toddler only to be told it was "members only" -- something not listed anywhere. My little one left in tears. To top it off, the front desk staff was rude, apathetic, and completely unhelpful. Huge waste of time and such a disappointing first impression. read more

Wild Child will forever hold a special place in my heart. My son and I have been attending for 11 months now, and I can confidently say this place is more than just a play gym--it's a community. When I was struggling with postpartum anxiety and depression, Wild Child was the first place that gave me the confidence to get out of the house and do something with my son. From day one, the environment felt warm, welcoming, and safe. The coaches here are truly incredible--they don't just guide the kids through activities, they connect with them, encourage them, and make every session a joyful experience. Watching my son grow in confidence, tackle new obstacles, and build trust with the coaches has been amazing. Just recently, he swung from the trapeze for the first time and balanced on the teeter-totter beam--two things he kept wanting to do over and over because he was having so much fun! One of the most heartwarming things for me has been watching the bond he's built with Coach Ben-Oní. He trusts her completely, and seeing him run up to her for a hug--one of those warm, reciprocal embraces--just melted my heart. It's those little moments that remind me how special this place truly is. Wild Child isn't just a gym; it's a space where kids thrive, parents find community, and lifelong memories are made. If you're looking for a place where your child can explore, play, and build confidence in a nurturing environment, I can't recommend Wild Child enough! read more

It was okay . I felt like the experience was lackluster especially for the price tag. The person working was just on their phone and didn't help much as well. read more

Thank you Wild Child Gym for throwing such a fun and amazing 6th birthday party for my son. Everything was very smooth from the initial reservations to the day of the party and setting up for the party. Coach Audrey and Coach Sierra were super helpful and friendly throughout the process. They were there on the day of the party to help set everything up and also take care of the birthday party. We had 3 coaches help run the party. I couldn't remember the name of the 3rd Coach but she was super friendly and nice as well. My son and all his friends really enjoyed the party. Especially the highlight of the party had the end when they had a bubble dance party. Thank you to everyone at Wild child gym for making my son's birthday such a memorable one! Everyone had a blast! read more

I bring my nanny baby to Wild Child 1-2 per week and she LOVES it ! So many age appropriate toys / equipment/ activities / games which she really enjoys, and have really helped her reach her milestones. Coach Benanee & ALL of the staff are super kind, silly, and great with kids. We love it ! read more

The space itself was pretty tiny and crowded, but the trial was pretty decent since the trainers during the trial were energetic and fun, and that's why we subscribed to the monthly classes. However, during the actual classes, the trainers were lethargic and activities are very repetitive. The class times are also way too early to be useful, we had to take our kids home early from day care in order to use the classes. We later learnt that the instructor during the trial was actually the owner, no wonder. In my opinion, this place is not quite worth the price. They need better trainers and more time slots. read more

Wild Child Gym is a fantastic place for kids to learn, play, and explore. The staff really knows how to make families feel at home. Their commitment to community is clear, and we're lucky to have them in Culver City. read more

This gym has been such a wonderful resource for me and my daughter. When we're done hanging around the apartment, we take a stroll down to Culver City and spend an hour hanging out with other cuties and really positive, playful instructors. It gives us a chance to be social, meet other moms and other babies, and move our bodies. I definitely recommend this place if you're a new mom! read more

I first visited Wild Child Gym with my then one-year old about two months ago at the recommendation of a mom friend. We enrolled in the Cruisers class even though she couldn't walk yet. My daughter had so much fun crawling around, singing, dancing, and interacting with the staff. I loved the class so much, I told all my mom friends about it (and of course posted about it on my IG), and they ended up visiting and loving it too. WCG recently had a silent auction in support of the Maui fire. I won one of the gift cards, and Wai personally dropped it off at my house to ensure it wouldn't get lost in the mail. Talk about customer service!!! Thank you! I can't rave about this place enough. If you've been curious, just go. Every kid will have a blast here. read more

This place was great. My child was thoroughly entertained. Love that you can always drop into a class. They offer class passes at a reasonable price. We will be going back! read more

We love Wild Child in Culver City! Our child is disabled and the coaches are so great at accommodating for what he can and can't do and still pushing him to excel! It's such a great addition to his already busy therapy schedule, especially since it complements his PT. Our favorite coach is Coach Ben-Oni! We love classes best but Wild Play is very fun too! Our boy just loves gathering with the other kids for circle time and other fun activities during the classes! I highly recommend trying it out! read more

I love wild child! I take my baby here once a week. Highly recommend. Everyone who works here seems to love what they do, and they're all very knowledgeable about babies and their development. read more

We hosted my daughter's 4th birthday party at Wild Child this past weekend and had an AMAZING experience every step of the way! The prep call gave me clarity on what to expect and some great ideas for food and favors for our guests. The staff provided 5-star service before and throughout the event. It was so nice to get to enjoy the party and not worry about the actual execution as every detail was handled so seamlessly. Would highly recommend as a destination for kid's birthday parties! read more

It was great for a birthday party for our friends' 2 year old boy. Kids had so much fun with the gym's staff, who came up with many awesome games. The space is really nice in that there's enough space for kids to run, and there's a cool hill for them to climb, etc. There is a separate area where you can have a bite outside of play area. Overall, would recommend for children parties. Haven't tried their classes yet but I may try soon read more

What a fun place for a birthday party! My 6yr old and all his friends had a blast running around for over an hour. There were 3 staff members engaging with the kids so the parents can hang out on the other side of the play yard and have a conversation. We saw versions of dodge ball, parachute, basket ball that the staff led with the kids. read more

This is one of the best organized birthday parties I have attended for my son who is 2 and we have been to a lot of parties! Brian led the party and he and his staff did a wonderful job! They kept a bunch of 2 year olds engaged in many games and activities. They had parachute, a puppet show, and more! They have many items for kids to climb and crawl through as well as lots of fun secret hiding spots. I don't venture out to the Culver City area that often, but this place is definitely fun to check out if you are in the area! read more

Ah! I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! I've been coming here since they first opened and after Covid and all that good stuff. I've celebrated my daughter birthday here and taken both of my kids to classes here. Great place to socialize your kids and meet other parents. Activities are always fun and clever. We love the puppet shows. All the staff are kind and friendly and remember your names! There is free one hour parking in the public lot around the corner. We go to the am classes so never have an issue parking in the lot and walking right over. One thing that stands out is there are so incredibly accommodating when it comes to pausing membership and scheduling classes. My work schedule changes all the time and everyone was so patient and helpful with me! Special shot out to Jackee. Sorry for all the emails. You rock! Anyways, wild child is a joy to be at and a wonderful place to have your kids birthday party at! read more

Came here for a kiddos birthday party. Very cute spot for parties and kid activities. Pros - cute kiddo stuff - kiddo birthdays - activities - decor / ambiance - large indoor play area - they have special events Cons - street parking - small front area for eating and adults to hangout read more

My son absolutely loves it here! Great teachers ! Awesome play space ! Just over all awesome vibe

As an update, Coach Wai and I have gotten to the bottom of how we each saw things play out that day, and I feel good about changing my review to reflect how kind and understanding he is and the concern he showed to how my daughter and I felt that day. I hope we can come again sometime. read more

My kids absolutely love Wild Child! The space is ADORABLE, the classes are magical, and my kids can't get enough of the fun instructors. They leave and sing the "aloha" song all week. As a busy parent, I appreciate the beautiful space to hang out in and cute store on site where I can shop while they play. I also appreciate their commitment to keep the play spaces well sanitized so no one gets sick - we get enough of that at school! We will be back soon! read more

Your little one will have a blast! We took our daughter for the first time a couple of weeks ago and had so much fun. She didn't want to leave! The teachers are above and beyond. They immediately addressed all the kids by their names. I at one point wiped some boogies off of my daughter's face and one of the teachers had a wipe before I could even ask for one. Excited to take my daughter back! read more

My husband and I have brought our 11-month old daughter to Wildchild 2x as a trial. It's been fun each time, and we're looking forward to more time. We are working parents, and we have a nanny who comes to our home 5-6x a week. Our "only" child is being raised bilingual in Chinese, and our nanny only speaks Chinese, so we've been trying to get our kid out and socialized with some English-speaking kids. Additionally, our little baby is pretty gregarious, rambunctious, and high energy. At 10-months, she was standing and walking, throwing, and smacking. Wild Child totally embraces her personality. We've played with staff member, Curtis, 2x now and he's super delightful and fun. Does he babysit? LOL. My kid really likes him--he's got a smile as big as his heart, and has a ton of energy. What I most appreciate at Wildchild is the open space to roam and the minimalism. My baby needs space to move more than anything. At Wild Child she's able to practice walking longer distances and to move without fear of bumping into our antique furniture at home. In the 2x that we've been, I haven't quite found a child that matches her energy and hands-on, go-get 'em attitude--big difference between a 6 or 7 month old and a walking 11-month old. So I can't wait to move her into the 13 - 23-month group...maybe she's an older kid type? I hope she will make some friends one day. I'm not sure if we'll get to Wild Child on a weekly basis with our schedule, but it's fun to consider the possibilities of dropping in for play time as a family. I'm so happy that this family-owned business has moved into downtown Culver City. I hope they stay around!!! read more

Went here with my 16 month old nephew this weekend for 11am free play. Cat was there supervising and I was very impressed with how she assisted in some guided play and redirection when necessary. My sister took him there before when the owner Wai was running classes and she was also super impressed with welcoming demeanor and ability to remember everyone's names! An aesthetically pleasing spot for my eyes while letting a toddler run around. read more

Fun place for my little boy to get his excess energy out. Friendly staff. Well located.

Had the most amazing birthday party for my 6-year-old here recently. What a special place. The teachers really know how to engage the kids, it's like magic! My son and his friends were glowing from start to finish. The decorations were amazing, and they even have the best suggestions for food and drinks that all worked out perfectly. They really care about what they do and it shows. 10/10! read more

First off I hate the fact that I am writing this but unfortunately I have no other choice and here we are. Not sure who handles the billing at this place but we have called not once but 6 times to get this taken care of. We recently moved and knew getting to Culver City would be a pain so we decided to cancel our membership and see what the options were for our left over sessions. Sad to say that after many calls and promises that it would be taken care of it still has yet to happen and honestly has been a nightmare. We have been charged for 2 extra months even after speaking to two different employees over the phone . We have left voicemails and given the story over and over and nothing has been done. read more
