It was last year, I visited this place while returning from Penzance. Its a man made marvel that was constructed almost out of nowhere. You can see two major greenhouses in bubble shapes- Mediterranean and Rain forest biome with rain forest treetop walk. The core, seed sculpture, outdoor garden, Baobab bar, zip wire, children nest climb, eve sculpture and giant bee are some of must see attractions. Remember, rain forest biome has artificial waterfall too which always moistens the air. The treetop walk is similar to that of Kew Gardens Treetop walk but it is inside the biome. The treetop walk is free to enter so you may have to be in queue and remember to be first in line otherwise towards day time, especially during summer, the temperature rises and nobody is allowed to walk on the walkway. If you miss it, its like you missed something after visiting this far!
Don't forget to taste Baobab drink, which sounds expensive but worth to try, at least once! There are three restaurants, as always and most of the places, they are expensive just like their tickets! whenever you visit such places, keep in mind you are going to contribute in one way or other :-)
They do have lots of exotic plants from around the world including banana, cashew and others which is real attraction.
If you are adventure sport lover- probably the longest in UK, zip flier is there. The core, seed sculpture are other must see places. Eve sculpture is another watchable place in Mediterranean biome which has lots of merry making sculptures. Outside is a giant bee which was different than the poster/broucher - it looked old and worn out! The wings had started falling out! They do have wide variety of Dahlia. Don't forget to take photographs.
A day is enough for this trip, if you are nature lover or just a common man looking something for change- it is best place to be with your children.
