Eden Project Park in Par, Bodelva

   We visited the Eden Project on New Year’s Day using a great local offer that allowed pass holders to bring a guest for free, so my partner and I went together. While it was still an enjoyable day, it’s definitely better to visit in the summer. Many of the outdoor plants along the paths weren’t in bloom, which made those areas feel a bit bare. However, the biodomes were amazing — especially the Rainforest Biome. Walking through the rainforest dome was incredible and genuinely felt like being in a real rainforest. The soundtrack playing as you walk around really adds to the atmosphere. There’s also a staircase that takes you to the top of the dome, giving a bird’s-eye view of the rainforest below, which was a highlight. The waterfalls were also stunning. Another bonus was that it wasn’t busy at all, which made the experience much more relaxing. The Christmas lights were beautiful, but I’d recommend visiting after 6pm to see their full effect in the dark. Overall, it was a nice day out, though I’d say it’s more geared towards children. I’d definitely consider returning in the summer to see everything at its best.

   I absolutely love the Eden Project and it’s one of my favourite places to visit whenever I come home. I could quite happily spend an entire day just in the rainforest biome. The light displays during the Christmas period are incredible and genuinely magical — at times it feels like you’ve stepped into the movie Avatar, almost like being on Pandora. The smells, the humidity, the lighting effects, and the sound design paired with dramatic music create such an immersive atmosphere that you genuinely don’t want to leave. An unforgettable experience and easily a 5 out of 5 for me.

   The Eden Project was built in 2001 at the bottom of an unused clay quarry and the location was carefully selected due to Cornwalls mild maritime climate. With it's futuristic looking bidomes boasts home to one of largest indoor rainforests complemented by a smaller Mediterranean dome which are both surrounded by outdoor gardens. There is an ice rink and zip lines if your feeling more adventurous (both are an extra cost) Expect to spend around 3-5 hours here. Bringing your own food is allowed, but there are also several places to eat. We found all the staff to be helpful. The carpark is included in the admission fee.

   This attraction is a huge investment in nature and this partially justifies the high entry price, and anyone with a day ticket can return for free within a year. The biomes are magical and the range of plants and flora is amazing. The partridges walking around are cute! The scale is something to be seen. We visited in October and although we booked for 9:30, we arrived to be told the biomes would open around 10:15 or when they were ready?! There are a lot of older staff who just appear over the whole thing to be honest. It must be a nice place to work because none of the staff we met were overly helpful and seemed to be in no rush whatsoever despite long queues. Speaking to a couple making herbal conversation and they were just unfriendly or slightly sarcastic which seemed odd? It really wasn’t busy, but to get a cup of coffee you have to queue behind people buying meals or light bites so it takes forever. Only one gluten free option for kids, so I was charged an adult price for the worst prepared jacket potato ever. Sandwich was stale had to return it. Gift shop is lovely. My kids unusually asked for us not to return the following day as planned, so I think that says a lot. Wonderful place, needs a customer service reboot.

   Amazing place to visit no matter the weather! There are the inside biomes which are amazing to see in the sun or rain and the wonderful outdoor gardens to see as well. There are great outdoor play areas for kids and if you're feeling adventurous a zip-line that goes over the eden project as well. Definitely worth pre-booking though, to avoid the queues.

   Eden is a place we love to go as a family, but somehow it’s even more special at Christmas. I think beside actual Lapland, Eden does the best Father Christmas experience, a very wholesome and engaging experience with a key message for all to take away and reflect on. As the kids are older now we were able to experience the Christmas lights for the first time and, just wow! Breathtaking! For a place I have been to many times, at night with the lights its truly something special! A must see!

   What an incredible day out! We were very thankful for the shuttle bus to get us to and from the car parks, I don't think it would have been an enjoyable walk without this as it is such a steep hill back up! However the project itself is absolutely amazing, very very humid and warm so if you struggle with the heat be sure to take some water in with you! Very informative and most definitely beautiful. We got to see so many things we wouldn't have known about or seen prior very much worth the trip and all of the walking

   Absolutely loved coming here. Take your time and don't rush through, spend as much time in the domes. They get busy and it does feel like you have to move along when people are behind you but you always go back in again or lap round again Had a wonderful time and the layout is great with different hidden gems scattered around. Clean and tidy with no rubbish Will definitely come again
