Overall an enjoyable day. Glad I went but there are a few things that could be better. There is a long walk from the car park to the entrance and then another long walk (but land train too) to get from the entrance to the biomes, it is confusing for first time visitors. The layout also lacks cohesion. The rain forest however is fascinating, realistic, and professionally done, its informative and educational, and well worth a visit. Be forewarned how hot it is. I was a bit disappointed with the Mediterranean/African biome, its well presented and a great concept but some of the plants were struggling and not at their best. The essence of the Med is captured well, but the plants definitely need some TLC. I saw gorgeous birds in both biomes and am sad as they are in captivity. They looked well and I have no doubt they are in their correct environments for their needs and being well cared for. To the experts at the Eden Project, please keep a continued eye on the well being of the birds. The other issue was that it was overcrowded, and I wandered if we were affecting the birds in any way, and I wandered if staggered entrances for crowd control was needed. Entrance fees are also on the high side. There is also no area designated for a quiet zone, considering how busy it was there was nowhere to sit and ponder quietly, loud music too, again affecting the birds potentially. A quiet lounge area for time out would be great with comfortable seating. The seating for the restaurant areas are uncomfortable and everything was hectic with long queues. A recommended one time visit but with a number of important tweaks needed.
