Tourist attractions can be a depressing affair, their sole purpose being to extract as much money as possible out of visitors (visit Lands End and see this at its most extreme). Along comes Eden, which still charges, but genuinely wants to inform, educate and entertain visitors, and in the process sustain environmental projects around the globe. Nothing does justice to...

In the early days of the Eden Project their approach may well have been innovative, but nowadays people are so much more aware of the effects of global warming and environmental issues that the message has become somewhat overdone. The domes were well laid out with structured walkways . The plants were healthy and prolific but nothing I hadn't seen... More

Expensive and unable to cope with the numbers on the day we visited, the sense we had was that the labels were written for bright primary school children and lacked any depth or interest for adults and our really damning summary was that it was similar to our experiences at Kew Gardens only not as good (with the possible exception...

I had this included on a tour but would have never forked out the money for entry. To be fair, if you like plants and passionate about the environment then you will love it. If not, then have a think bout going as it can be boring and after finishing a trip around Australia, man made can never compare to... More

- worth a one day visit, including the gardens some minor remarks - no reference of the James Bond movie "Die another day" which has scenes from this site - the videos shown at various places is always the same version - the platform in the rain wood forest hall was closed to the public because of climatic reasons.

The Eden Project is not to be missed if you visit Cornwall. If horticulture is your thing you are in for a real treat, but that is only a fraction of what Eden covers. Especially aimed at improving environmental awareness, this is done in a fun way and it is wonderful to experience the special atmosphere in the Mediterranean and... More

The Eden project is so well known that it is a must see when in Cornwall and it doesnt disappoint. We visited on the day that the Olympic torch arrived so we had an added bonus to our visit. The food was excellent value for money and the service was friendly. We spent about 6 hours there in all so... More

My first visit and the fulfilment of an ambition, I was not disappointed. The transformation of the old Cornish clay pits into this world class attraction is a truly remarkable feat. I had read about the biomes but had not understood that there were also large outside gardens. The range of eco- systems represented is breathtaking. It was busy but... More

Magnificent ethos and aims not quite achieved yet, but much to like. Some of the notices can be a bit "preachy" and patronising with a whiff of self- congratulation, "WE recycle all of our....etc etc". It has the flavour of a school trip about it at times. The food was great and the biospheres quite something but pricey compared to... More
