Absolutely beautiful. The project is fantastic, allow yourself some time to take it all in. I was lucky enough to be there (by accident) when manic street preachers performed .

Jenny Mackie

Everything is just great here! Gardens to die for little books and crannies and great selection of lunches and snacks and hot and cold food. Decent coffee too! Great for nature lovers :)

Ashley Ide

This place is a must for anyone with little children, and all those adults who are kids at heart, the events they put on during the year are super and their Christmas was nothing short of spectacular

Tijs

Fantastic place. Great story in the building of this project. And just good fun to ‘travel’ the world via the biomes and smell the smells of Indonesian jungles and Italian fields .

Richard Van Peebles

Amazing for the kids. So much to do and just at the end of the biodome a little bar for the parents to enjoy a cheeky rum cocktail !

Carl Griffin

A must visit attraction in South West England. The bio domes are so interesting and educational .

Gustav Graves's diamond mine in Die Another Day (2002) was shot inside the rainforest biome at the Eden Project. These included Jinx rappelling from the roof and James Bond running down the outside. Read more

Hannah Luddy

Plan to spend all day here exploring. Food is a good value . Very educational and relaxing. Each pass is good for a year.

Paul Windo

A unique but expensive experience. Imagine Disneyland remixed by Greenpeace. Take the bridge from The Core back to the Visitor Centre if you're tired at the end of the day.

Jenny Mackie

Lovely day out I have a locals free 2 year annual entry so thats worth getting if you live in Cornwall! Beautiful gardens and biomes great food!

Tim Owen

Great cafe serving healthy meals and snack . A refreshing change from most tourist attractions . Take water into the rainforest biodome .

Stan Naaktgeboren

The Eden Café , great coffee and cookies . They are very slow. If they organised it better like: one taking the order and payment, one making coffee and one doing the cookies+serving. Still great place.

Kerry Williams

Great food options, not cheap but not extortionate either. Rainforest biome is great but be prepared to sweat a lot walking round it. Can recommend the Med' biome to cool down and relax in after.

Jan/Feb they usually run a promotion to get cheap tickets if you can prove residence in Devon or Cornwall. Well worth it. Kids like going on the bendy bus . Wear layers so you don't get too hot!

Janet Hammond

Went init's 1st year - must make another trip soon I think - Tim Smitt has been a very clever man with this venture - I like the website showing the recycled items, as well as home grown goods..

Gbolahan Mogaji

You can actually leave your coat/jacket in the cloakroom before exploring the rain forest biome which is usually very warm.

Adam Evans-Lee

Quite stunning but it's full of kids and parents. Not exactly a quite and calm day out. Rainforest Biome is HOT and very humid - take water! Free P&R Banana or Plum car park are closest.

Concerts in Cornwall

For the most relaxing concert experience grab a picnic blanket and chill out on the grass bank at back of the arena. Alternatively, get down the front and sing-a-long like your life depends on it! Read more

Jerry Foran

Good day out, particularly if the weather isn't great. The rainforest is by far the best bit but can be very crowded and may even be closed on a hot day!

Josh C.

Nice day out on a wetter day as you can stay inside for hours. 2 tips- bring a picnic (no one minds and food isn't cheap ) and most important DO NOT come in half term- bit manic

Remco Timmermans

Highly recommended. If you can transform a deserted clay pit 'Moonscape' into something this lush, it is easy to understand how we will live on other planets one day!

Chris Davis

So much to do here, you'd struggle to fit it into one day! Biomes are a must and The Core does its best to educate you on life and the world.

Eleonora Pinat

Amazing science and natural project. Looks like entering into a real and eco-sustainable #JurassicPark.

Daniel Todoran

Fantastic place. Little disappointed about with the coffee shop is closing to early 4pm.

Steven Askwith

If you are using a year pass (or borrowing one), make sure you know your postcode, they are shit hot checking you when you come in!

Santos Calvo-Westcott

Fantastic day out the rainforest is almost like you actually being there

Danimal Edwards

The food hall is amazing, great food most appalling self serve service I've ever used, nice change not to have chips on the menu

Paul Dunstan

If you're going for a concert get there early as concert tickets let you into the gardens too

Kirsten Zverina Archer

Awesome iced lattes in the restaurant between the domes

Ian

you can use the lift from the core to get back to the visitors centre. This avoids waiting for the land train or walking back up.

Duncan Howsley

Incredible place with amazing plants and an amazing story.

Paul Rogers

Love this place. Always worth the visit

Steph Clarke

Amazing, inspiring, fantastic, the as not enough superlatives to describe this place

PK Gulati

Awesome feat - from a disused clay mining pit to the 'recreation of Eden' - what commitment and diligence can achieve!!

Kirsten Zverina Archer

Amazing place to visit - get here early to make most of your time

Kat Pond

Loads of flavours of ice cream in the parlour in the gardens £2.50 single cone

Roland Harvey

Download the Eden project app to access up to date activities, interactive map and some discounts .

Stephen Crocker

A diverse and fascinating exhibition with exotic plants and sculptures .

Danai Fassouli

Nice try but not worth the 30 pounds per person. It's too expensive . The only somewhat worthy is the rainforest biodome because you go up and you can really feel the heat.

Lisa Gagliastro

If going when it's a bit chilly outside, make sure to wear something lighter underneath cause it can get quite warm in the rainforest biome .

Jonathan Beckett

The Halloween Ball was excellent - and crazy busy!

Adam Gunderson

If you're taking children to see father christmas , make sure you turn up early to complete the treasure hunt.

Thomas Yasin

Incredible collection of the worlds fauna. Impressive that we managed to create such a huge structure . Although going in with a hangover takes the edge off!

Elias Gerstmayr

Loved the rainforest biodome with the smoothies and tea tasting.

Jim Bo

Visiting today with family - for free as we have season tickets! Pay once and get a year for free!

Ian T

Lots for kids to do. Good family day out.

Helen D.

If it's your first time here, you get 1 free child entry with an adult with the Foursquare offer when you check in (worth £8-50)!

S Yusop

Highly recommended for everyone who's into green environment

James Yeo

Great venue for gigs. Will definitely come back to see a band again

Justin

Cheap with Tesco club card vouchers . £7 for each adult. Children under 5 free.
