I have visited the Eden Project a number of times, and decided to take my in-laws for a trip as they had not been there before. I do have a background in Environmental Sciences having studied it at a degree level, but the Eden Project does seem more suited to those with a passion for the subject. I do enjoy... More

You really actually have to have at least a remote interest in plants I think. I don't. I had a number of enthusiastic people endorsing it. When I tried to ask, what it was exactly, they all gave me vague answers. Or at least, answers that didn't make sense to me. There's probably nothing wrong with the place. Except you... More

We visited son a wet and windy mid May day. I'd picked Eden because I knew the weather was going to be rubbish and it was an inside day. To my surprise there is vast amounts to see outside as well as inside. The rainforest dome is the centre piece and is quie spectacular, as well as very educational. I... More

There's no denying the Eden Project is an impressive achievement, however, there is no getting around the fact that the price is probably double what you would expect to pay for this type of attraction. Certain elements are outstanding, ie the Rainforest Biome, unfortunately this can't be said of the rest which is good but not amazing. The "Core" in... More

I have visited Eden on more than one occasion, however although enjoyable I feel they are now too pricey. £ 23 is such a lot of money in these difficult times, and although I visited on a lovely day it was so quiet, who can afford to go? I shall not visit again. It is a wonderful place to try... More

Visited this last week with family. I've been before and it never ceases to amaze me. It is expensive, but well worth the cost. My sister had an accident whilst we were there and I cannot praise enough the speed with which the first aider dealt with her problem. A paramedic was called and then an ambulance. All dealt with...

I have to admit if we'd not found a 2 for 1 voucher we would have probably not been happy about the price as it is nearly £25 each to get in. That said, it is worth it especially if you get there early. be prepared for the tropical dome to be very hot, it was nearly 30 degrees when... More

I visited expecting to be wowed out of my senses, and was not. Maybe I've heard too many people raving about the place. It is very good but struggles to reach the 'amazing' level. It could very well be that we visited on a pretty dull day in May when it was quite cold and after a hard winter so... More

Everything about this place is amazing and we will definitely be back for another look around.The biodomes are amazing and it is like the tropocal greenhouses at Kew gardens but better.

This was very good for me. First I must warn you, this place is better at colder days like spring or even winter, it is absolutely warm in there, to give the plants the right climax. You will be very warm There is a lots to see, as a person from Africa, this was a brilliant reminder of things I've... More
