Attraction Overview

The Eden Project comprises two vast domed biomes housing thousands of plant species, one simulating a tropical rainforest, the other a Mediterranean climate. Outdoor gardens span around 30 acres and showcase native and global flora in themed planting areas. The site hosts seasonal events, live performances like Eden Sessions concerts, and family activities like zip-wires and treetop trails. Look out for their sustainable features such as rainwater-flushed toilets, recycled materials and renewable energy installations integrated across the site.
