Our Trip To The Eden Project
We visited the Eden Project during the school holidays this year (2024). This was our first time visiting, and here’s what we thought of our experience.
Arrival and Entry
Once you’ve parked your vehicle, there’s a 10-15 minute walk to the entrance of The Eden Project. Before arriving at the entrance, we noticed signs displaying entry prices, which were higher than we initially expected (we admit we didn’t check the prices online before arriving).
Entry Prices
For our family of four (2 adults, a 6-year-old, and a 6-month-old), the online price was £88, while the entrance price was £100. We had our phones with us, so we booked online before going to the entrance, saving us money which we later spent in the shop.
At the entrance, we were greeted by a lovely lady who advised us that we could return anytime throughout the year as long as we kept our entry receipt. This is highly advisable as the place is huge, and it’s worth having two days there to cover everything.
Rainforest Biome
We first visited the Rainforest Biome, which is enormous (200 metres long, 100 metres wide, and 50 metres tall). It features a variety of landscapes, both wild and cultivated, from around the tropics, as well as artworks, exhibits, birds and stories from people whose livelihoods depend on these places. High up in the Biome is the rainforest canopy walkway, which explores the vital relationships between the rainforest and climate. There are more than 2,000 plants here.
As our visit was during the school holidays, it was very busy and crowded in parts of the Rainforest Biome.
Afterwards, we needed an energy boost, so we went to the Biome Kitchen for some delicious food.
Food & Drink
The food was delicious. I (Lee) had the vegetable balti curry, which came with rice. It was one of the best curries I’ve ever had in the UK. Ana had sausages and veg, Alexander had fishless fingers, new potatoes & peas, and Lucas had some vegetables and a boiled egg. The majority of the ingredients are grown at the Eden Project or sourced locally, and we found the price of food to be quite reasonable compared to other main attractions in the UK. The price of cold drinks, on the other hand, was very expensive, while hot drinks were reasonably priced and tasted good.
After eating, we decided to go back to our Airbnb and revisit another day to explore the rest of The Eden Project.
Day 2
Mediterranean Biome
On our return, we first visited the Mediterranean Biome, which was more openly spaced out and smaller than the Rainforest Biome. There were well over a thousand different plants inside and also a large number of sculptures which looked amazing. It also seemed less busy than the Rainforest Biome.
The Core
After looking around the Mediterranean Biome, we took our sons to The Core, which is based on the structure of a sunflower made of hundreds of hexagonal panels that combine to create something greater than the sum of their parts. Inside The Core is the Invisible Worlds exhibition, which explores how life is shaped by invisible systems and forces. We all found it quite spectacular!
Nature’s Playground
Once we had finished at The Core, we took another visit to the Biome Kitchen for another bite to eat. Then we went to Nature’s Playground, which has a variety of activities for kids, including swings, slides, a 9m tree to climb, a gravel play pit, sit-on diggers, an interactive babbling brook, and many more.
Zip Wire
While at Nature’s Playground, we also saw thrill-seekers whizzing past us overhead at high speed on the fastest zip wire in England. You can reach speeds of up to 60mph on the zip wire. Anyone wanting to go on the Zip Wire needs to be
Time to leave
After a couple of hours at Nature’s Playground, it was time to leave. On our way to the car park, we visited the Eden Project shop. We bought some Eden Project honey, which tastes great, a rattle for Lucas, and a toy snake for Alexander.
Conclusion
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Eden Project and would recommend it to anyone. The Rainforest Biome, Mediterranean Biome, The Core, and Nature’s Playground were all great, and the food was delicious. Just like most attractions in the UK that have on-site shops, we found the prices very expensive, but overall, the experience at The Eden Project was fantastic.
Our trip to Kynance Cove was amazing. This place is just stunning and we highly recommend any visiting Cornwall take a trip out to #kynancecove

Raindrops couldn’t stop us from exploring the magical Lost Gardens of Heligan! 🌳🌺
Despite the wet weather, our family had an awesome time wandering through the lush forests, spotting the Mud Maid sculpture, and crossing the wobbly bridge in the tranquil Japanese garden.
Alexander loved the Jungle Giants adventure trail and the fun-filled playground. And we all enjoyed the stunning scenery, curious wildlife, and surprises like the swinging chair and giant listening cone.
Though we got soaked towards the end of our visit , the visit was an unforgettable experience. Can’t wait to go back and see more of this enchanting place!

🍕🌅 Stumbled upon a slice of paradise at Trevaunance Cove! After a day at the Eden Project, we hit the jackpot with this sunset pit stop in St Agnes.
The real star? The Cornish Pizza Company! 🤤 Hands down, best pizza we`ve had in the UK. Local ingredients, organic flour – it`s pizza perfection!
Didn`t get much beach time (tide was coming in), but those few moments of sand, sea, and seriously good food were pure magic. Already planning our return trip!

Stepped into a fairytale today at St Michael’s Mount! 🏰
✨ This tidal island is pure magic - we crossed the ancient causeway at low tide (pro tip: baby carrier > stroller on those pebbles!), climbed up to the castle for breathtaking views, and explored the charming village below.
Highlights:
* Stunning 360° views from the castle top
* Narrow passages and medieval vibes inside
* Delicious ice cream and coffee in the village
* Exciting boat ride back as the tide came in!
Must-visit spot in Cornwall for history buffs, nature lovers, and family adventurers alike. Swipe for more pics and check out our blog (link in bio) for a full guide!

🏖️ Porthcurno Beach: Then vs Now 🕰️
Four years ago, we discovered a hidden gem. Fast forward to August 2024, and wow, things have changed!
👶 Tip for parents: Bring a carrier, not a pushchair!
🚗 Parking hack: Use RingGo app (free WiFi near the museum)
👀 What we saw: Crowds, litter, and... discarded underwear?! 😳
Despite the changes, Porthcurno’s natural beauty still shines through. We’re giving it another chance soon! Have you been recently?
Drop a 🌊 if you love Porthcurno or a 😬 if you’ve noticed changes too.

✨ Magic in the Skies at Land`s End! ✨
A great night a couple of weeks ago it was unforgettable! We witnessed an incredible fireworks display that lit up the Cornish coast. The atmosphere was electric - live music, bustling bars, and a sky ablaze with color.
The show wasn`t just fireworks; it was a journey through Land`s End`s history, with a soundtrack that brought the story to life. From the perfect viewing spot, we were transported into a world of wonder.
Tip: Arrive early to grab parking and the best views!
