The venue also hosts lots of additional children’s activities throughout the summer holidays, from outdoor games to arts and crafts sessions.

It’s the perfect rainy day activity

The great thing about The Eden Project is that come rain or shine, you’re guaranteed to have an amazing day out. You’re instantly transported to warmer climates, and can explore fragrant, tropical rainforests and meander through vast Mediterranean landscapes without even leaving Cornwall.

As well as the famous biomes, The Eden Project also has lots of beautiful outdoor gardens to explore, and if the Great British weather lets you down, there’s a fantastic visitor centre and a variety of restaurants and cafes to take shelter in.

You’ll have endless photo opportunities
