Eden Project - Par

Fantastic place, really interesting treating and lots to do.

The different areas are really interesting.
It can get busy booking in advance is advised.

Lots of seating for picnics in the warmer months and lots of play areas suitable for young children, good for tiring them out before you leave to go home!

We say lots of staff around, so help is near if you need it.

If you want the added options best to prebook.

Nice place to visit with your family. You can admire here flowers and plants / trees from all over the world. They have very big parking spaces also for electric cars, campers, van's. Inside, you have multiple options for a tea, snack, or meal. We've been there around 2 pm, but the light show starts after outside is dark .

This was our first trip to the Eden Project and I was very happy with our visit - it was easy to book on line (recommended, as the tickets are cheaper!). We arrived early and were directed to the correct parking area by a friendly attendant, we had a lovely hot chocolate in the café and then headed out into the park. The weather was not good, but once inside the domes we were soon warmed up! There was even an area to hang your coats - as it would have been too warm to wear them in the tropical dome.
We spent at least 2 hours wandering through the amazing plants - walking over rope bridges and climbing to the top viewing platform.
Well worth a visit - even on a wet and windy day.

This is a great place to show off the nature of the earth and how the earth works.

I think I have last been here in about 2015-2016 and that was a very long time ago. I had to come back since we were quite nearby and didn't want to miss the opportunity. 🗓️

There is lots of nature like trees, flowers and more from multiple different countries and the experience is almost as if you're in those countries! 🌏

For example, Australia is warm and hot. They mimic the temperature and the looks from Australia by having the nature that Australia has. 🌡️

I also enjoyed the restaurant. The food there is absolutely amazing! I only had a Margarita Pizza, but the rest of the food looks so appetizing! They also sell some drinks like Orange or Apple Juice which is quite expensive per bottle which is about 250ml. 🧃

There is this one section that is too hot for me to handle. It is going to the very top of the base which is extremely hot and humid. I did not enter the top part as I could not handle it. I barely coped with the temperature at the lower part which was about 28°C and I felt really dizzy and couldn't really breathe. This isn't Eden Projects fault though and therefore I am not changing the rating.

Conclusion:
The place is lovely for families or children to have a look at what nature is like in different climates. Remember to bring your water bottles as I didn't! 💧

It was rammed to get in, but once past the gate it was okay. Haven't been since I was a child (19 years ago) was really nice to see the changes. There was so much to see, and the waterfall never fails. First time bringing my daughter along and she loved it. Will be back again. Wheelchair access and there's lifts to get to down to the biomes so no one is excluded. Great family atmosphere. The Mediterranean biome is a little disappointing after the jungle one. But still a great day out.

We'd never visited before but as we were in the area, we decided to visit. I must say that the entrance price nearly put us off, but luckily we had some Clubcard points to put towards some vouchers. Even with those it still cost a lot. Its cheaper to book in advance so do this on their website.

We didn't have to wait to enter and as it was quiet, we parked in Banana car park which wasn't too far from the entrance. It is a very hilly site as it's based in an old quarry so expect lots of walking. There is a lift down to the bottom where the main things are though if you have mobility issues.

The international garden areas on the slopes are interesting but on an early March morning most things were not in bloom and so it was not as interesting. I can imagine in summer it is a different story though. We walked around most of these areas and then headed for the rainforest biome. Luckily there is an open cloakroom to leave your coat as it was very warm and humid inside. Some areas are warmer than others, especially the upper area and I did find it a bit much after a while. There is a cooling room up there if needed.

After the rainforest we headed for the Mediterranean biome which was not as big but still quite interesting.

There is an art gallery type area with an interesting smoke blowing thing which is good but not a huge amount of interesting things apart from that.

We spent 2 hours there and felt we covered everything. It's hard to justify the cost taking this into account. If you live nearby and get the yearly ticket then I can imagine it's worth it to pop back and see it in all seasons or just have a nice walk but I feel is is massively overpriced.

Glad we saw it for sure, but I couldn't justify the cost of another visit.

A massive complex with several truly large biomes simulating Southern Europe or a jungle etc. Besides that, there is an incredible diversity of plants. I highly recommend spending the whole day there; playground, beautiful views, restaurant, and a shop are also on site.
