It's absolutely incredible to think that this star...

It's absolutely incredible to think that this started life as a dank, retired quarry. When you first arrive, the vista of all those perky little bubbles is something to behold! The sheer scale of the place is enormous and I simply cannot understate the importance of what this does for both the local area and future of the planet.

The experience is pretty much all about the rainforest biome. It feels like you've been transported thousands of miles away. The detail is incredible and the educational information puts it all into context (i.e. we need to stop killing the planet).

Unfortunately the viewing platform was closed which was a bit of a bummer.

The rest is a bit peripheral. The Mediterranean biome felt a bit like popping to Tia Rosa's back garden for a few minutes... After the rainforest biome this was a bit underwhelming so do this first. The outer gardens are still very pleasant though.

While they rightly encourage you to use public transport, the timetable means you might have to wait an hour for a bus when you get to St Austell which meant we had to get a taxi which seemed to negate the whole point.

And finally, food options were decent enough but a little toppy price-wise.
