What visitors say

Sue Pickwell

Amazing place so much to see and experience. As they celebrate 25 years so much has grown from our 1st visit. They say 4 hours is enough but thats just to walk around. Your ticket gives you a year of visits so can go time and again to catch the bits you didnt have time for. Access everywhere to see it all. A couple of paths ending with steps just means wheelchairs and scooters just have to double back a short distance.

Visited recently for a gig. As part of your ticket to Eden Sessions, you can visit the whole Project site too - ticket prices were almost the same as a normal visit. Very interesting to look around the domes, and they do get very hot in the afternoon! There is some water sprayed around and a cool room but generally speaking, expect to be pretty hot on a nice day. The concert arena which is near the domes is well set up and I would imagine you can see the bands perfectly from pretty much everywhere. There is a VIP area that is a little higher, personally I can’t see that being worth the money. 3 or 4 places to get food and/or drinks from, although I think these are all basically part of the same company and prices are in the same ballpark. Alcohol on draft needs a reusable cup, £2.50 for one of those and you won’t get that back. You can bring your own if you’ve been to a similar event elsewhere. Alternatively you can buy cans of alcohol (£5), which are cheaper but then you can’t go into the arena area with the can. A little strange when the bar is literally metres away from the arena. There’s free water points throughout the place and lockers need the entrance. All in all, certainly worth a visit and seeing the domes and then a gig is a great way to experience it all.

Fantastic place to visit. We went on a hot day and it was piping in the domes.one of the domes has a cooling room, But it is only small and we couldn't get in it. Normally you can go up to the top of one of the domes but it was closed due to the temperature 🌡. There are talks about different domes. It is usually marked down the times and places. It is very interesting. There is a restaurant on the lower floor, and plenty of seating. You can bring your own food and drinks. There is water fountains in the domes but it was warm water. Lots to see outside and the lavender plants were awesome. They smelt gorgeous. You pay to get in, either online or at the door. But you can get in as many times as you would like for a year. Its very handy if you live nearby. The walk to and from the car parking is a hard walk up up up. But walking round eden project is mainly up. Still enjoyed it.

I love the Eden project. Have visited multiple times and enjoy every-time it’s a place everyone should visit at least once! Top tip - get there for opening, it’s much quieter and you can get parking much closer. Also you aren’t tripping over people when walking around. The best eating spot is in the Mediterranean biome on the terrace but it’s small and fills up quickly! Highly recommend here. Accessibility - Ample disabled parking, everything is wheelchair accessible but the biomes are in a valley, there is a shuttle to take you back up and down if needed but there are ramps that are not too steep.
