Kristine LivOctober 30, 2017Absolutely 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 MackieAugust 20, 2014Everything 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 IdeJanuary 5, 2016This 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
- TijsJuly 22, 2018Fantastic 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.
- Jenny MackieSeptember 18, 2013Lovely 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!
Hannah LuddyMay 19, 2017Plan to spend all day here exploring. Food is a good value. Very educational and relaxing. Each pass is good for a year.
Richard Van PeeblesJanuary 31, 2016Amazing 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!
Stan NaaktgeborenJuly 31, 2013The 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 WilliamsJuly 30, 2013Great 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.
Carl GriffinDecember 23, 2015A must visit attraction in South West England. The bio domes are so interesting and educational.
Tim OwenMay 14, 2014Great cafe serving healthy meals and snack. A refreshing change from most tourist attractions. Take water into the rainforest biodome.
FilmsquareJune 29, 2013Gustav 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
Gbolahan MogajiAugust 18, 2014You can actually leave your coat/jacket in the cloakroom before exploring the rain forest biome which is usually very warm.
Janet HammondOctober 14, 2012Went 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..
Concerts in CornwallAugust 6, 2014For 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 ForanMay 19, 2013Good 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!
Chris DavisAugust 31, 2015So 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.- Adam Evans-LeeAugust 23, 2012Quite 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.
Paul WindoSeptember 8, 2014A 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.
Josh C.May 28, 2013Nice 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
Danimal EdwardsAugust 22, 2013The food hall is amazing, great food most appalling self serve service I've ever used, nice change not to have chips on the menu
IanJuly 23, 2015you 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.- N EJanuary 24, 2012Jan/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!
Daniel TodoranMarch 20, 2017Fantastic place. Little disappointed about with the coffee shop is closing to early 4pm.
Steven AskwithJuly 29, 2014If 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!
Lisa GagliastroMay 19, 2012If 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.
Santos Calvo-WestcottFebruary 14, 2016Fantastic day out the rainforest is almost like you actually being there
Danai FassouliJune 3, 2017Nice 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.
Eleonora PinatAugust 12, 2015Amazing science and natural project. Looks like entering into a real and eco-sustainable #JurassicPark.
Paul DunstanAugust 3, 2015If you're going for a concert get there early as concert tickets let you into the gardens too
PK GulatiJuly 16, 2013Awesome feat - from a disused clay mining pit to the 'recreation of Eden' - what commitment and diligence can achieve!!
Remco TimmermansJuly 3, 2012Highly 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!
Steph ClarkeMay 11, 2014Amazing, inspiring, fantastic, the as not enough superlatives to describe this place
Nat Alt DesignJuly 15, 2012Extraordinarily beautiful, it's maths made of leaves. Bring your macro lens! (photo by @davidocoimin)
Paul SayJuly 31, 2012Fab day out for the family - highly recommended especially the kids who after a whole day in the domes fell asleep in the car !
If you've wrapped up warm leave most of it in the cloakroom before going into the rainforest biome. You WILL get hot!
Thomas YasinAugust 12, 2010Incredible 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!
Adam GundersonDecember 9, 2013If you're taking children to see father christmas, make sure you turn up early to complete the treasure hunt.
Stanislav SmolyarMay 9, 2018Stunning but overpriced in my view; it’s London price tag 300 miles from London.
Simon PughMay 29, 2013Come late, cheaper entry and less people plus you can use ticket to gain free entry for the next twelve months.

"There is a sign on the left recommending you take off your coat and jumper. You don't feel the heat at the bottom so much, but as you climb up, you really experience the rainforest temperature."
Mookii - 7.2
"Lovely and Chilled atmosphere during early evening when most visitors have gone home. Nice to relax with decent food and a quality glass of wine in the fantastic Dome setting... ☺👍"
Darrann Hughes - 7.0
"An amazing display with incredible exhibits. Watch the smaller glass cases carefully as the items inside move at random."
