Eden Project Reviews

Disappointing. Kew Garden's are much bigger and well maintained. The Eden Project feels quite fake and artificial.

I loved every minute of it there, I was like a big kid!

Very enjoyable day! Be sure to spend some time exploring and ensure you go to the top of the domes for the view off the top. Lots going on for children and restaurants had a good standard of food. Reccomended!

Tiring but great day out. Let time here was 10 years ago and now with the train and bus. Definitely less tiring than before. The bio domes were great like last time.

The only annoyance was that there was a Wedding so the Mediterranean dome was closing early. Though there was no notice when getting tickets.

Love the cafe with getting toast though found the bottom cafe's expensive.

It's a lovely place to walk around, lots to see for all the family. If your brave try the skywire, I did for the fantastic view of the whole area.

Good day out, if you like Kew, you'll like Eden. Did you know, Pineapples grow on plants that look like a shrub and grow upside down...?

Truly an incredible place and the stories and dedication behind each work is just beautiful.

Wow, when I stepped into the tropical dome I thought I was in a South American jungle. In fact I expected the predator to pop out of the shadows. Took me a while to hack and slash my way through but I made it to the top and got a breeze at the waterfall. They had a special walkway to the top, so I braved the clouds and thin oxygen and got some spectacular views.

It was pretty but we thought it was not value for money. It would be better spending money on a National trust membership.

Amazing place to enjoy plants and wildlife! The biomes are incredible and seeing plants usually found in small pots in a house in their natural environment growing huge is amazing - akin to having a domestic cat and doing a safari and seeing lions and tigers. Recommend for all family and anyone that s interested in nature. Dog (though not allowed in biomes) and wheelchair friendly throughout. The experience feels you with amazement while also behind educational. The site has a great cafe stocking local produce but there is also space to eat your own picnic.

Wonderful day, but very busy at peak times. Always something new for the returning visitor.

Me and my family where it worse of back when we went here, and would never afford to get in, luckily I had a friend that worked here and got us in for free! It was an amazing day out for us considering we could never get out before. It was an amazing day out for me, my partner and our two kids age 1 and 4. Great fun and really loved going around the place and having a look.

Overrated and way to expensive. More Restaurants than exhibits. The Rainforest Biome is nice. The mediterranean Biome is ok. The Core is a waste - except for the playground. The only highlight we experienced, was the stage.

Brilliant. It does a great job educating people about the need for biodiversity and the affect our choices have on the planet.

Over priced...poor staff( no interaction with the PAYING public..looked like a CHEAP garden centre with big food outlets...after a long drive...very very disappointed

Definitely worth a day out to visit. Especially if you have someone with you from a tropical climate who's a little homesick and gets excited by seeing plants and trees they loved back home.

I loved it and if you're travelling to Cornwall you have to visit, when in the main dome you feel as if you have traveled to a different continent as you get lost through all the greenery, apart from the plants this place is great for the kids with story telling in the Mediterranean dome

Cool place to visit, not worth the money though for an overpriced greenhouse, and that s not mentioning the fact that just the building of it added to climate change. Zip wire is a must

We love to visit time to time.
Our family enjoy it every time.

Second time visiting here. Came during covid 19 so the whole place has been changed to accommodate distancing. Still felt busy though and some parts were closed off including the top deck of rainforest biome. The museum was also closed off.
All in all though still a great day out

Fantastic experience. But a little expensive, the ticket does give me the opportunity to revisit at any point for a year but I live so far this is not an option. We were very hesitant about spending so much and very nearly did not bother.
There is a valuable and important message about our environment to be learnt and making it so expensive limits the audience who will hear it.
Price aside it was a great educational and fun day out and my family really enjoyed it.

It was a wonderful day so much to see and do there is something for everyone

Great project! I like the architecture of the building! Also magnificent for a visit with children!

Wonderful experience. Lots to see and do for all ages if you really want to know about our planet and how we as individuals can educate & learn.

I ordered some Mothers Day presents from the Eden Project Shop but they were never delivered. I'm still attempting to get a refund.

Love it, I love the project how it is designed and used by the people. It's incredibly beautiful and we went after covid but still have a lot of people and there was 2meter distance between each other and I recommend everyone must visit with their family or friends but don't forget to prebook your tickets.

Not a good place to go if you are disabled. From the start it all went wrong as we weren't directed properly to the disabled parking spaces. Then we tried to find the park & ride, as advertised on the website, to get to the visitor centre because it's a long steep walk. We eventually discovered the park and ride just goes round the car parks and not to the visitor centre. There were many other confused & stressed out disabled people in the same predicament as us, we'd paid for tickets online & weren't sure if we'd even get to the building! The able-bodied people in our group went ahead to get wheelchairs & came back to pick us up. The wheelchairs provided aren't suitable for the terrain, making them very difficult to handle & push. We tried to enjoy our day, it is good there, but accessibility issues put a massive downer on our day out. Little things like sign posting & electric automatic doors can make a huge difference & is something that the Eden project needs to consider.

A place to visit at least a few times during the year to take advantage of the plants and trees throughout the seasons. Always exhibitions on and very kid friendly. Loads of food available and a great shop too. Visit anytime.

Great day out for young and old. Very educational and some great story telling events.

Awesome plants and art installations.
I particularly enjoyed the rainforest biome :)

It was very educational. My children had a lot of fun . I am sure my children's teachers will be proud because they are always looking at trying to save the planet

This is perhaps the best run tourist attraction I've seen in Europe. Simply fantastic. Every aspect of this place has clearly been thought through carefully. Well worth a visit. Well worth going out of your way to visit.

Very well curated attraction with well presented information.

The concept is to promote eco system showcasing the importance of plants around the world apart from that food are quite pricey...

A very inspiring place. From deforested land to an attractive natural tourist park. The location is indeed rather remote and rather expensive. Because of the vast tourist attractions for those who bring children must be patient or use a wheelchair. There is also landtrain for those who are unable to go up and down to the location. It's a shame one of the tourist attractions was closed when we came. Restaurant space is also limited and very crowded when we come so it is not convenient for lunch. So prepare your own lunch if you don't want to queue long at the restaurant.

This place is stunning, absolutely a must see whilst in Cornwall. It's an architectural masterpiece and inside there's a huge variety of plants and trees from all over the world

Loved it. Thought it was going to be pants but it wasn't. Very interesting, loads of info and things to do. We saw half of it, I reckon, and could easily go again. The canopy walk is fantastic, but expect queues (and the stairs are wobbly!)

Interesting place, ideal for families, individuals and couples. Only downside is the prices of everything....

Beautiful and exotic, you really need more than one day to appreciate everything there is to see and do.

Good day out and a fantastic project, be present to spend a few quid to get in and pay for other activities.

Beautiful blooms outdoors especially in the summer time. Amazing blooms and knowledge in the Biomes. Recommended for all ages. Take some good shoes in the evening if strolling around the Rainforest Biome, as it can get slippery. Great for a More

I would give no stars if I could. Eden project advertises a free entry for NHS staff. The trick is, the next available date is in 2 months time. I find it a false advertising releasing only a handful of free NHS Tickets and advertising it as an easily accessible option when in reality it is not.

Well worth a visit if you are in Cornwall very interesting day out

It helps to understand nature. And they did it fantastic.

What a wonderful day out, visited with my severely disabled daughter, everything was catered for. Full changing places room, lifts and wheelchair access to the land train. Staff were very helpful and friendly, made the day very enjoyable and stress free.

Awesome. Unimaginable. This place was a dump house and has been converted into paradise. Take your kids here they will love it. It's fantastic how technology can be used to create wonders. Worth the journey from London

The Eden Project was good. Lots of very interesting and educational information. The eden world kitchen really let the place down though. The food was substandard and expensive for what it was. The chef seemed to take personal offence to the fact I didn't like the chicken wings with feathers/hair on them and glared at me whilst I was being served. I didn't want to mention they also had little to no flavour! My husband ate half his jerk chicken wrap and left half as no chicken, just rice and no flavour.

This place ia amazing so much to see and admire. Well worth the trip here if your visiting the south west. Also great variety of quality food available at the various cafes and foodhall

Overpriced not sure how families can afford. Food selection awful we don't all want arty farty. Yes they have sandwiches on dry rock hard bread.
Domes good.

The idea behind the Eden Project is great. If you ve not been then I strongly urge you to make the visit.
We ve been lucky enough to go three times and we re about to go again this year.
There is so much there and every year there s something new to discover, even treading over old ground.
As well as having some to replicate The Mediterranean and the amazon, with plants and climates to match, they have amazing features with interactive dinosaurs to journeys into space to find an alien.
There s so much beauty in the world and the Eden Project makes it just that bit more accessible.
One early and you can spend the day.
Great staff and park and ride service.
Very educational too without being preachy. Great for all ages.

Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Two big biomes to visit, one tropical and one Mediterranean, lots of other attractions and entertainment for families and couples. Try and be there early

Excellent day out with something for everyone. The latest addition is the Rainforest Lookout which lets you climb to the top of the tropical dome, but be warned: it gets very hot.
UK residents can make a gift aid declaration and then their ticket is valid for a year.

A true Eden, I was fortunate to visit during the festival of light. Mind blowing display of colors.

The queue to get in today was ridiculous. We prebooked our tickets so had no choice but to go. What amazes me is that they seemed surprised that they are busy due to the rain and it is the holidays, what do they expect! Another enterprise that can not cope when they are busy and there is no communication or even an apology from anyone. The place itself is great but queue for everything, food, ice cream drinks etc. On an experience level is rates along with my last legoland one where they just packed in so many people that I never went back. Ethics on one hand but money on the other did not have the correct balance today. Good weather in Cornwall is about being outside and the Eden Project is everyone s back up plan, have they not worked that one out yet? Can do so much better!!!

Rubbish, you can see most of the plants at Paignton Zoo in Devon for half the price in the tropical house, plus all the animals.
The restaurant was awful, no comfortable seat to sit on just long tables with forms, no backs, so you felt like being at school pushed in with everyone else, food terrible but expensive. I will not be visiting again

An amazing day out for the family... what an experience!

Fantastic if you are into botany or just want to see something beautiful!

Always a pleasure to visit and experience what Eden has to offer. If you enjoy appreciating nature and slowly walking around this is the place for you.

Great produce available for lunch. Very fresh and local, slightly expensive but that's the price you have to pay for good real food.

Brought my wife for her first time and she was blown away. Out of our two week holiday in Cornwall it was our favourite place to visit.

Will always recommend Eden Project.

This is a fantastic place to visit. There are lots of things to see , thus making it very interesting overall.

have been waiting to visit from the day it was on the news all those years ago.
I did mention the fateful words 'looks a little small' when looking down from the entrance but it is not, the Biomes are huge. Although I visited in April there was still a lot outside that was in bloom and the Tropical Biome is just phenomenal. You are blown away my the heat and humidity when you go in.
The smells of the food being prepared add to the experience, the Mediterranean Biome has the aroma of paella that is being prepared...

Amazing biomes split between Mediterranean and the Rainforest. Go to the Med first and have a nice lunch then walk over to the rainforest for a wonderful experience. Watch out it s gona be warm/humid. You ll find a cool room half way for those that overheat.
At the end you can walk up some wobbly stairs to a viewing platform at the top. Must do!
Good for a rainy day if your visiting CornwAll since you ll be inside for most of it.
Enjoy!

Been before but well worth another visit. Fascinating place with lovely plants & educational to.

It is okay, but I expected more for the price. You do not really need too much time here. Food is all right.

Acceptable for a day with bad weather, but not really recommended. For visitors from Germany: Drive to Leipzig, for example, and go to the zoo there. You have more for the money. In Gondwanaland there is also a rainforest under a dome, with animals ...

Perfect in bad weather. Gigantic size of the main hall. Extensive plant collections in Mediterranean and tropical halls. You have to expect a waiting time at the entrance. You don't put much effort into eating. Large number of free parking spaces. Overall a recommendation

If you're a regular traveler to Cornwall, you simply have to put this on your list of places to visit. As you walk down the winding path to the project and it first comes into view, you can't help but be impressed. To fully appreciate the Eden Project, you really do need to allocate a whole day. Plenty to see, and do, and many choices of food and drink at reasonable prices.

The whole project is not as sustainable as you think, also the entrance fee is extremely high.

Awful place. Took an age to get through the doors. Food is awful and expensive. Service is the slowest I've ever seen. The plants are OK I guess...

A great place to visit for treehuggers and normal-folk alike. Plenty to discover and learn and they try to be hands on too. Bit pricey for a whole family.

A second visit following a previous one just after the project was opened. The Biomes are interesting, especially on a wet day. I preferred the temperate one as thought the jungle was a little overgrown and while there is plenty to see, it is lacking in detail. The problem is that the entire thing is just an opportunity to part the visitor from his / her cash. I thought the admission price was very expensive, as was the food. I didn't think the public areas were that clean and tidy, either.

Fantastic place for science art and botanical enthusiasts. Also great for kids. Great food as well. Loved it!

The Eden Project is an extraordinary experience, and it's something you can't miss if you're in the local area. Each of the biomes contain exotic and unusual plants & other vegetation, the scale of which is remarkable. It's a truly immersive experience and you could easily spend a whole day exploring if you take the time to learn about everything on display. It was a shame that some of the sections and attractions were closed, presumably due to Covid-19, and I think the price should have been lowered a little to account for that, as it's quite expensive. That being said, I'm very glad that I took the time to visit here because it's something I always wanted to do and I was certainly not disappointed.

We have done several wedding receptions at the Eden Project, it's a very special magical place for a wedding reception, highly recommended.

Went in early September and was slightly concerned by the recent Covid time reviews complaining about not being able to see some of the areas of the domes and the one way system. It was my first trip there and we loved it - sure there s a couple of minor bits you can t see currently, but the majority was open. And the one way system helped guarantee seeing everything if anything. Well worth it the trip. Would be expensive for a family but we spent 4 hours there.

Special garden through the huge domes. Because of this, a piece of rainforest and Mediterranean vegetation has been copied. Worth a visit. Tip is to buy your tickets online the day before. Then you will receive a 10% discount. There is also an adventure park. If you want to do something here, you have to pay for it separately. The prices are on the expensive side.

Incredible & inspiring place. I can't wait to visit again and see the constantly evolving ecosystem.

The Eden Project is an amazing place, the gardens and biomes are beautiful, it genuinely feels like you have entered a different world within them. I however can't give this place a rating any higher as the price to get in is far too much for the experience.

I didnt like a thing once we arrived we saw some little buggy transportation things that take you around the park, me and my father in law went to ask them how much it was the guy said in a nasty voice "35 pound per person but if you can walk then you cant hire them" even though we saw foreigners getting off it and walking off then we tried to explain that my mother in law cant walk because shes disabled and in a wheel chair then he replied "well push her around" and drove off due to that dont visit

good day out and plenty to see and do . Will definitely be visiting again .

The Eden project is an amazing ecological site in Cornwall, and it is an exhibition which deserves to be seen by people all over the world. It shows that we can be eco-friendly whilst having everything we need. Simultaneously, they are their own brand, making bio-products from renewable and recycled materials which is exactly the inspiration we need in the world we live in today.

Absolutely amazing place to visit truly paradise in every way. the new eden bakery is wonderfully good the food is out of this world well worth a visit

I liked the eden project, I think that the rain forrest sphere (including a rope walk, little birds and a massive waterfall (wow) was very clever). I thought the sculptures were mostly fabulous, I thought the Mediterranean sphere was pretty but most of it was a cafe, and I noticed that there were plants from South Africa in there (that's not very Mediterranean, but I suppose the right climate). We liked the cornish pasties and the ice cream, and there was lots of plants to take photos of. I didn't like the size of the eden project, my partner who was on crutches struggled with the long walk from the car to the project. I also didn't like the lack of social distancing and the sheer volume of people especially in the spheres. It was a good day out despite the showers, but I don't think I would go back.
