Eden Project Review

Had a great day out. Had to laugh at the cold room provided in the rainforest dome!

This place shows in perfect conditions the tropical and Mediterranean ecosystems, I found it great ... Moreover, I find that the deforestation is perfectly included in a tropical ecosystem really in destruction ... Eden Project is a place to visit at least once in your life ...

Interesting environmental themed botanical garden incorporating bio-domes.

If you care about the environment and green issues issues you will enjoy and get a lot out of a visit here. Even a passing interest in such issues would ensure you have a great day. If this is not your thing, much of it will come across as a party political broadcast on behalf of the green party.

The cost to get in was quite expensive though we spent the whole day here.

Lousy queuing experience! Queues for queues to queue. I'm sure it could be improved with bar codes or QR codes on the ticket, and being able to complete the annual pass bits approach. Annual pass approach rather a joke since it involves yet another queue when having pre purchased. Quicker for friends to purchase on the day than pre-pay and get an annual pass. Haven't even got to the garden yet...

Great place to visit. Family loved all of the site.
Good that were able to bring our dog in with us. What could make Eden more dog friendly, would be a canine run off area. This would let dogs de-stress, before or after being put on the lead around the project.

Absolutely fantastic day out. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive due to the price, but it's well worth it, and the ticket lasts a year if you opt to make it a donation rather than a purchase. Bought the tickets online before hand, so took all of 45 seconds to get through the ticket office too. Spent at least 6 hours there with my partner as there is a lot to see and do. Thought the food was very reasonably priced, and very good quality. Don't know why so many reviews on here are complaining about it being to expensive to eat there. Plenty of space to eat a picnic, and free water fountains if you're on a budget. Definitely worth a day out there. Get there when it opens to avoid the worst of the crowds as it does get busy.

Such an amazing place to visit with lots to see and do. friendly staff, good food selections and just a wonderful day out, a must visit if you have not been.

Just amazing. Family and I loved every moment here. Don't hesitate about visiting, it's well worth it.

Thankfully I had free tickets otherwise I would not have been happy paying the price for the experience I received. I thought it would be a prestige place but I couldn't believe the amount of weeds. The two glass houses were amazing and full of extraordinary plants; the rainforest biome was far more better then the Mediterranean biome. There's a cafe in the Mediterranean biome and there is no need for it considering there are two large canteen dining areas mere feet away in the cross link. There's a small sensory garden in the med biome which asks 'what can you smell?' and all we could smell was food from the indoor cafe. There seemed to be a higher priority of putting cafes and food places everywhere then plants in my opinion.

The exhibits here are very informative and interesting, really showing off all of the different cultures in the rainforest and Mediterranean areas. There are many interactive activities for children, allowing them to further investigate this interesting place. The outside areas fail to dissapoint, also showcasing a variety of species.



However, this is a great day out

Loved every minute of it even though I only got round half of it and it was November and chucking it down outside which prevented me checking out the outdoor biodomes. I can't wait to go back and check out all that I missed. And with my year pass there's no excuse not to. There's so much to see and do there that it's worth a couple of visits. Not to be rushed.

Went there yesterday for the third time, never gets old, there's always stuff changing.

This is a great place so interesting and a great place to relax and escape the outside world. So much to see and do.

Amazing place. The scale of the project is mind boggling. Hundreds of plant species from all over the world and a fascinating journey walking around viewing them all. Entrance fee is a bit steep, but you could happily spend five or six hours in here. if anything it's a little too popular! You can occasionally feel pushed to keep moving due to the crowds. But a brilliant place and a definate must.

A truly inspirational and an amazing place. Loved the Rainforest dome with the birds and chicks running around. Enjoyed the Mediterranean dome brought back memories of holidaying in Mediterranean countries. The Core was fascinating looking at the microbiology and the earth as a planet looking to the future.

Few really beautiful flowers next to such exotic plants like grass and sunflowers. Pretty disappointing especially for the very high prize. The buildings look awesome and it is really relaxing but it has lost its scientific meaning and is only existing for money

Plants, trees, flowers, bacteria and even some animals are what you can find here, and wow, they have a lot of it. You'll almost forget you are walking in a giant dome, it feels like a real rainforest.

Save your money,don't bother.!!
Visited 16th August,very over priced and far to over crowded.
Paid 96.00 pounds for two Adults two children,queued half hour to pay,
and again for mediocre food 38.00 pounds .queued yet again to go into the tropical biomes like a heard of sheep could not look at any thing.
where told there was 40/50 minutes wait for the viewing platform when we finally got to it,then we had to exit using the fire escapes.
very unsatisfactory.

Absolutely marvelous. This project is basically a set of huge glass houses with climate control. They grow all sorts of plants under conditions most ideal to them. Learnt a lot of botany at the project site. Let my photographs do all the talking.

What a day and what an experience! So well worth the trek out. Beautiful, informational, entertaining, inspiring and welcoming.
The outside area has lots of interesting plants and displays, with information stands and a nice winding route. The domed areas are even more amazing. The kitchen canteen was impressive with lots of healthy and varied dishes to try, it was hard to choose. On the way out there's a shop with many different products, from live plants to clothes and food.

Great Day out for the family. Educational and lovely to experience, definately recomment

It was really good and a nice day out for sure. You could easily spend hours here.

Architecturally, horticulturally and scientifically interesting, with lots to see and explore. A great way to experience the jungles of the world without having to fly there. It is best to visit in the summer months to experience the plan life at its fullest.

The Eden project is Absolutely amazing, well thought out. Skywire was awesome with some stunning views over the Biomas, highly recommend!

Phenomenal place, really impressed and learnt a lot. Top tip -- buy online and save a few quid for some food while you're in there. If you're in Cornwall and you've never been, GO.

who is on horror trips
My recommendation: mushrooms are cheaper

It's OK. It's very very over priced. Not sure how a bus service from a car park 2mins away is eco friendly which is all this place bangs on about. Staff seem to hate their jobs. Not worth the entry fee at all

Bucketlist location. Really has to be experienced.

Pros:
Sensation for the senses.
Bring your camera- beautiful sights.
"train" tractor ride down to the venue.
Rainforest greenhouse
Educational value.
Roof balcony views.
Buy the guidebook- I regretted not doing so.

Cons:
Eyewatering entry fee & expensive giftshop.
Cost & taste of food on site- heads-up- Do NOT have the bannana smoothie from the novelty truck in the greenhouse and avoid the sweet potatoe fries at all costs!

Recommend:
Go early.
Take your camera.
Bring your own water & food/snacks.
Dress light.
Enjoy it- you miss it when back home.

It publicises itself as a charity but in reality it has all the features of an attraction like any other. Two large greenhouses connected by a plethora of food, coffee and 'gift' shops. On the day of our visit it was high season and it More

I have been here a couple of times in the last five years. The Eden Project has not changed much but is still a full day out. There is a lot of flowers and environments to view. I think the price is quite expensive, however, it is a non It takes around 3-4 hours to fully go around the venue. I experienced a laser display a night which was good.

Top!

Very well done.

Really interesting seeing this seasons exhibits live earth
The domes are impressive and the gardens are lovely. You can take dogs into the gardens but not into the exhibits or domes. It seems pricey but its well worth a visit. Take a picnic if you like and visit the shop on the way out

A brilliant piece of work beautiful plants great outdoors and huge environments will always be a great experience even by yourself

Rainforest Biome is mind-blowing. The Mediterranean biome is also great. Definitely worth visiting.

Good Amazing place lot staff are busy good foods Eden Project and Cornwall.

Loved it good way to spend the day very interesting bit pricey

Eden project is a great place. Its very popular visitor attraction in Cornwall.there are 2 biomes inside with plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in clay pit, located 2 kilometres from the town of St Blazey and 5 kilometres from the larger town of St Austell.

The area is dominated by two huge enclosures made of adjoining domes that is home to thousands of plant species.

Amazing place. Inside the biomes its a proper rainforest with humid and hot climate. There is a hanging bridge which gives a 360 degree view of the place. Wasn't sure whether to visit this place but good that we did.

Great day out with plenty to see.

The topical biome has a massive range of flaura and fauna plus a walkway to the top of the dome for a great overview.

Mediterranean home has lots of interesting plants and ingredients grown in their natural habitat.

Highlight was the highest and longest zip line in Europe, flying across the entire site.
