Incredible Gardens, definitely a great day out with lots to see from tiered outdoor gardens, Mediterranean and Rainforest domes, and indoor exhibitions. Beautiful
Wow, a must see type of entertainment, there's so much to see, learn and appreciate. The effort to keep this place at a safe level must be enormous not to mention how much work needs to be done gardening wise. To be honest one, even two days aren't enough to enjoy every bit and part of the Eden project in full. Plenty of little shops, there are restaurants there too. I will be getting back to see it again for sure in some time.
Visited in the summer & really enjoyed our day at the Eden Project.
I was a little concerned that there wouldn't be enough to do to keep a 17 & 8yr old entertained but I needn't have worried.
I'm not really a flower/garden type of guy but found the domes really interesting to walk around, the Tropical dome in particular.
And both the children enjoyed the time at the stage area where they got to build a shelter out of bamboo & fabric.
It cost £88.00 for the 3 of us (2 adults + 7yr old) which felt a bit steep. The cost does allow you to visit multiple times within a year. However, as a family only visiting Cornwall on a holiday, a cheaper, one-off payment would have been preferred.
Would also recommend taking your own picnic, there is plenty of seating / grass areas provided. The cafes were rammed when we visited so we bought sandwiches from the little 'snack' shed nearby. £33 for 3 sandwich's, 3 bags of crisps & 3 small cans of drink. We're not talking big sandwiches here either folks.
Overall, a great place to visit, more worth it if you'll visit multiple times. Oh, and take a picnic.

Really really good attraction. Lots to see and do. Depends where you park their is quite a long walk to main entrance. Large gift shop and plenty of conveniences. As you enter their is grea views of the domes and a walk down hill. The smoke rings area is cool and interesting and the Mediterranean and rainforest biomes are truly beautiful.
A very interesting botanical garden. I loved the exotic birds in the tropical dome.
The food from the cafeteria was ok, but not the best. Also, there was absolutely no shade in the outside dining area, which was hard to cope with during a heatwave.
Dogs are allowed but not inside the domes.

Great initiative
Lots of things to keep kids busy.
Great even when it’s raining outside.
Have your walking boots on.
Buy tickets in advance.
Free parking. Bus service recommended as parking can be quite far away from entrance.

Really great place. Go prepared and don't wear jackets or hoodies. It gets hot in there specially Amazon Biomes. Carry lots of water and there are refillable places to fill your bottle too.
Food and drinks can be little expensive but that is to be expected if I'm honest.
Also don't forget, your tickets are valid for a year so you can visit as many times as you like in a year and don't have to pay.
There is an adventure place where you can do Zip line, you have to weight more that 35kg to go on them and when we went it was £42 per person (adult). Sadly we couldn't do the Zipline but next time.
Staff is very friendly and always happy to help. Several cafes inside the projects too, not just at the entrance. Variety of food available.
Enjoy and go with time to read some of the plates on some trees it's interesting.
Have fun!

Brilliant family day out. Play area in woods isn't really worth it but if you choose to definitely book in advance. When we went there was a whole area for den building. Both hot meals and snacks available from the two restaurants. Tickets valid for a return within a year and Blue Peter badge holders get in for free.
