    Amazing place for almost all your aquatic and pond needs. Big selection of aquariums, tropical fish range is amazing. Cold water range is vast considering the limitations or cold water options. Plants, stones, bog wood, lots of tropical plants, tank accessories, fish food. Marine options are not vast but there is a decent collection or corals and fish. Fish lovers will love this place and in beautiful wild surrounds.

    One of the best garden centres in the area, cheaper than all competitors locally. Huge selection of live fish and aquariums. I would definitely recommend coming to this store. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful.

    Great place and the staff are excellent, especially the dude with the long hair who is very attentive and also surprisingly asked if my tank was cycled which I’ve never heard from an aquatics store employee before. 5/5 for the anti-fish abuse and the products available!

    Bought all of my dragon stone and plants here. Employees are very helpful although you do have to look around for them as it is a large establishment. Just a warning if you do buy dragon stone from here, you need to thoroughly scrub it to get rid of the clay like substance on it.

    Also so so impressed. I come here solely for my fish. They take honest care in making sure the fish will be happy, they make great recommendations and are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to any questions. I could not recommend them enough!

    This pla e is looking very tired and run down now. I used to go there years ago and it was always bright, clean and inviting. My kids loved watching the fish . I was shocked to see it so run down. However, I did buy a lovely water feature which I'm very happy with and the guy who served us was very knowledgeable, chatty and friendly. All in all, not a bad experience but they could smarten the place up a bit.

    I always go to Wildwoods for any fish and plants that I want. They always have a great selection, I end up buying more than I planned. But I am always more happy with my choices. I love going there.

    I've been visiting this place since I was a little girl. I have fond memories especially when Nobby a female giant gourami was alive. I love the array of fish and the tropical section.

    Its a fantastic place to buy variety of tropical and cold water fishes and aquarium plants. There is an array of pond equipment and water fountains available. Whatever you need for your fishes or pond, you will find here.

    I head over to Enfield, where there are multiple garden and aquatic centres, every few months to stock up for my coldwater aquarium (and have been doing so for over 30 years now). I invariably end up buying everything at Wildwoods who are the biggest and best. They only deal in aquatics and there is always a great selection of livestock, plants and accessories. They even have a customer toilet which is very much appreciated after a long drive!

    Well managed and prices are competetive Staff are very helpful and serve with a smile. All fish are properly displayed with names, prices and a good variety available. They got my custom compared to Maidenhead aquatics where the fishes were not dislayed in correct labels

    Very good selection of tropical, saltwater and freshwater fish. Can supply absolutely anything and everything aquarium related. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. A wee bit pricey but highly recommended nonetheless.

    When I first went which was well over 20 years ago it was awesome, tropical fish section is very tired looking now. Fish are very expensive. Has a large section for cold water Fish and tanks. If you're in the area its worth a visit but don't make a special trip.

  • 5/5 Rich C. 6 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    Love this place. It has nice selection of cichlids and even a sub selector of Apistogramas. Lots of food, supplies etc. Just a cool place to go if you're within driving distance to Enfield

  • 1/5 H S. 1 year ago on Google
    Overly priced and staff arent as helpful as reviews make out. I was stood waiting to pay for 10 minutes - 3 staff members walked past not even caring. Badly managed and sell their stock for £10+ over other shops.

  • 5/5 Corinna I. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience visiting this specialized centre for pond plants, pond features of any kind plus lots of fish. Well positioned advice on big posters and plenty of choice of flowers. Exciting examples planted as inspiration. Helpful staff. There may be a waiting time at the checkout.

  • 4/5 Ed G. 3 years ago on Google
    Spacious aquatic supplies business, with ample parking. I understand that the staff provide helpful advice to buyers looking to stock their fish tanks, which is vital to avoid predatory species eating their less-aggressive companions!

  • 5/5 Gareth E. 2 years ago on Google
    The best aquatic center for miles around. Good stock of pond fish and aquatic plants. Picked up liner and underlay for my new pond, will be returning for the pump and filter.

    A week ago today, was sold a supposed pair of apistogramas, 6 penguin tetras and 6 harlequins. I told them about where I was putting them in, and that obviously they would be in the same tank. After the first night I go to check on them and there’s 2 penguin tetras dead, with literal chunks taken out of them, the female apistograma had a white eye ( scar ) so I removed the male thinking that it would solve the issue. The following 2-3 days 4 more died, including one out of my 2 original tetras. All looking damaged. The tank doesn’t have anywhere where they could get stuck, and the pump is in a separate chamber. The apistograma i had put in my spare tank then died, on Thursday. Before dying ( when I put it in the spare tank ) it already had a bulging eye and some sort of white - yellowish mucus on its body, it looked really discoloured compared to what they’re meant to look like. Today, ( Saturday ) the other apistograma was found dead, 1 completely white, bulging eye and the same thing as the other fish, a layer of weird mucus that I’ve never seen on fish before. They looked recently dead so the mucus was not from them passing as there was also some when I took the male out ( when alive ) Now out of the 14 fish in that tank, there are 3 left. £70 down the bin like that. Really disappointed as I was told they were compatible and would do fine in my tank. I use reverse osmosis water, had checked the levels before going to buy the fish and they were perfect, and then after the first couple died, there was obviously a slight spike in ammonia so did a quick water change and everything looked good again. Attached pic is of one of the fish when I took it out. Really dissapointed as I’ve been here a couple times before and would like to get things sorted out.

    Big range of everything fish related! From tanks to ponds, from minnows to large carp (the latter costing up to £699!) and from tropical tank plants to chilly water lillies, I'm sure you'll find everything you want. Staff are overloaded though, otherwise I'd give 5 stars.

  • 5/5 Kath F. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of knowledge from staff. Great selection of fish and tropical fish ,fish tanks and fabulous water features .

  • 5/5 Radu G. 11 months ago on Google
    Great selection of aquarium and pond fish and plants. Equipment is also well stocked although a bit less on the aquarium hob filters. Higher prices for fish and plants, but sometimes you get good value for money.

  • 5/5 camelia s. 2 years ago on Google
    Good customer service, you can get everything you would need to set up a fish tank.

  • 5/5 Clare G. 9 months ago on Google
    Visited here recently and have to say Blane was very helpful and knowledgeable and gave great advice on what to buy for pond. Very polite great customer service and care. Highly recommend Wildwoods.

  • 4/5 Jane T. 1 year ago on Google
    Wide range of goods for indoor tanks and outdoor ponds. Very knowledgeable staff. They're as good as their word about matching prices online. No hassle about it at all. Extremely polite about it so you can give them business and still get a bargain.

  • 5/5 David S. 2 years ago on Google
    For aquariums it is a great place for equipment and basics, but I like it because there's always something new no one else has. Staff are knowledgeable and prepared to take the time to give advice. For ponds it has to be one of the biggest selections of koi and plants and equipment around. A place not to be missed, even if it's just for ideas.

  • 4/5 Pete L. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been going to Wildwoods for around 50years! It's grown a lot over that time, but always has nice quality fish and knowledgeable staff. On this occasion I did not buy the fish I went out to purchase as I thought it was over priced, £8:95 for a smallish Red tailed black shark. Instead I bought x6 Cardinal tetras. Happy with my purchase, but was looking forward to getting a new RTB.

  • 5/5 Genine R. 1 year ago on Google
    Fabulous selection of pond and garden ornaments, fish tanks and aquariums, just about everything you need for a pond. Fish are healthy and well looked after. Excellent advice available should you require help. Plenty of parking.

  • 5/5 harrison g. 1 year ago on Google
    Large selection of tropical fish and plants all on display. Medium selection of marine fish and coral. Very good selection for both pond keepers as well as for fish keepers just starting out who just wanted basics. The staff there are experts in their fields and can answer most questions you could have for them.

  • 5/5 savvas gaming c. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Lexie E. 1 year ago on Google
    Wild woods has all you need to know about fish from guppies to koi. We have bought multiple fancy goldfish from here and all have been healthy and happy. Friendly staff, and have almost everything you need for small shrimp tanks to big ponds

  • 5/5 Tim O. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything you need for your aquatics, definitely be going back

  • 4/5 Rosie P. 1 year ago on Google
    Large place and lots to see. Didn't see one dead fish in any tank. Didn't buy anything as prices was high so went further down the road and bought many fish for a much reasonable price.

  • 5/5 Monica L. 2 years ago on Google
    A wonderful place to visit. The fish house is spectacular they always push the boat with many rare species and great variety. I been served by Daniel the young lad with short blonde hair many times and I have nothing but praise for the young man. Great knowledge, helpful and friendly. Well done wildwoods and well done Daniel. 5 starts!

  • 5/5 L E H. 2 years ago on Google
    Big store with a great selection of fish, hardscape and aquariums. It was great to see they have many of the tropica 1-2-grow plants and Seachem products. Their plants were in good condition and although I didn't look very closely appeared pest free. Pricing seems more competitive than the other aquarium stores nearby. Staff were helpful, I'll definitely be back in future. :)

  • 4/5 Paul 2 years ago on Google
    Generally a decent aquarium supplier with the biggest selection in the area. It can be pricey, but they do have high quality tanks for sale. The majority of the staff are nice and helpful. I do have my preferred staff who I feel that I am able to approach.

  • 5/5 Karen S. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything for ponds and tropical fish. Food, plants, livestock, ornaments, pond liners, tanks etc

  • 4/5 Jamie T. 2 years ago on Google
    Very large aquatics store offering marine, tropical and coldwater fish. Large selection of dry goods, aquariums, etc available here. Prices are on the average to slightly higher side across most aquatic stores I've seen. The fish room is large and impressive with some species of fish I haven't seen before or that are less common. Bought a nice little chocolate gourami, pleased with him. Will visit again sometime in the future.
