Advantages: Educational and fun

Disadvantages: It's off the beaten track for most of the country

One of the most successful Millenium projects in the country, The Eden Project is an attraction not to be missed if you are looking for a way of helping the environment while at the same time having a good time. You can even cycle there if you really want to show your green credentials.

If you don't fancy that, go by car, train or bus. Be prepared for a good long walk from the car parks to the Domes (Biomes). But take in the sights of the fantastic landscaping at every turn as you walk.

When you get to the Domes, pace yourself. It gets mighty hot in there and its not all on the level, you can easily dehydrate. You will learn about the things you use everyday (chewing gum, rubber and chocolate) and some of the surprising plants and places they come from. The kids will love it, and they will learn things that will impress their teachers at school.

When you flake out, get something nice from one of the cafes -try some cornish ice-cream. Visit the shop for some very strange but nice gift ideas

This day out is good value at £16 per adult, £5 per child or £38 per family, especially when you explore some of the concessionary tickets on the website.

Everyone should visit at least once, you'll go back again and again. Your kids will make you!

Summary: Great family day out
