Eden Project

The Eden Project is Cornwall's extraordinary botanical wonderland, housed within massive geodesic domes that create different climate zones from around the world. You'll journey through tropical rainforests and Mediterranean landscapes, all under spectacular transparent canopies that have become iconic symbols of sustainable living.

This attraction suits everyone, but particularly appeals to families with curious children and anyone interested in nature, sustainability, or striking architecture. The Rainforest Biome feels like stepping into the Amazon, complete with waterfalls and exotic plants, while the Mediterranean Biome transports you to warmer climes.

Plan for at least half a day to explore properly - there's outdoor gardens to discover beyond the famous domes, plus seasonal events and exhibitions. The site involves quite a bit of walking, so comfortable shoes are essential.

Staying at nearby holiday parks puts you perfectly positioned for this bucket-list Cornish experience. Pentewan Sands Holiday Park offers the closest base, while Sunhaven Holiday Park, though further out, provides highly-rated facilities for your Cornwall adventure. The Eden Project makes an excellent day out regardless of weather, as the climate-controlled domes offer shelter while still feeling like an outdoor adventure.
