Literally as the title says, fantastic organised car park and shuttle service, domes are full of wonder and interest, tons of stuff outside in terms of science exhibits and nature gardens, you could spend all day here and we do each year, superb place

In a short time, the organizers of this project have accomplished an amazing amount. The Mediterranean and tropical biomes were as mature as conservatories decades older. All the gardens and grounds were fascinating and interestingly laid out. We enjoyed the themes in the gardens even if some were ideas that other botanic gardens have also developed. Loved the incorporation of... More

We went on a slightly rainy weekday, using Tesco Clubcard Vouchers. Definately glad we didnt pay full entry. Over the years i've heard big things about the Eden Project, and was somewhat disappointed. The whole place seemed a bit rundown, weeds amongst the plants, paths closed, etc. Cafe also a disappointment, but the ice cream was good! Toilet facilities were... More

A really gorgeous place full of calm and excitment alike. Great areas with very interesting displays. The canteen is good with lovely and interesting food which spurs you on to continue well in the afternoon. Having been once before less than a year after it's opening, it was great to see it now the plants have had a chance to... More

I suspect that this is mostly a marketing issue: we thought that we were coming somewhere to experience some of the natural wonders of the world and have a great day out exploring the huge grounds and domes. Of course there are gardens laid out, but these were the dullest and least interesting that we have seen in Cornwall (and... More

This is somewhere that l have been really keen to visit but living in the north of england l haven't actually managed to get here till now. I went with a pretty open mind having read the splurge & seen the documentaries, you do ask is the hype really worth it? First impressions were 'these guys are pretty seriously well... More

All facillities are great and staff were all friendly and well informed about their job. Really enjoyed reading about the different... More

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
