Eden Project (Cornwall) Reviews

The Eden Project is so so so over rated! My partner and i had wanted to go for ages, so we decided to make a weekend of it. Driving to cornwell and finding a hotel for the weekend. We were both really excited about spending the day at the eden porject and i really wish we had not bothered. The most exciting part of the Eden ...

Ever since it was built in 2001 both my husband and I have had a fascination with the Eden Project but it was only last week during our holiday in Cornwall that we finally managed to visit! Most people will be familiar with the images of things that look a bit like huge plastic golf balls appearing out of the ground - and it was great to go and ...

I cannot emphasize enough how over-rated the Eden Project is. Honestly. It is pants! If it was free then I would probably say otherwise and it would be worth popping for an hour ever now and again if you are in the area but it is £15 for a adult which is way way over the top. For that, you get to walk around a couple of ...

I visited Cornwall a few months ago for a short break, which we used as a chance to relax and visit places we had always wanted to. One of the places we choose to visit was the Eden Project, and what a let down. Before driving down I doubley, doubley checked to see that my boyfriend really did want to go and explained, in lay mans ...

The eden project is a masterpiece of modern botany and is the only place of its like in the country. It's not cheap to gain entry to the place and even then they want more money from you by leaving pots around asking for donations! The gardens themselves which you walk through first are lovely unleass the weather is bad! but then you ...

I visited the Eden project earlier this year. My first impression on arriving and looking down onto the domes was that it was smaller than I expected. Once I had walked down the hill and was much closer to the domes I realise how big the eden project was and just how huge the domes are. The domes are split into 2 climates, the larger dome is ...

My Dad had to go to a conference at the Eden Project regarding sustainable housing. As he is disabled he needs a carer to go places with him in case he is ill or gets into some form of trouble. Normally his wife goes but as she was in hospital I got to go. (It put me in a bit of a difficult situation really as I was really chuffed to be going but ...

The Eden Project opened in Cornwall in early 2001 and has established itself as a very popular tourist attraction, with over 1.2 million admissions per year, well in excess of initial expectations. The Eden Trust, the charitable organisation that runs the Eden Project aims to show how much man depends on plants and the natural world, and therefore ...

The Eden Project has oft been touted as one of the new wonders of the modern world. Five years on from its opening in 2001, does it live up to this claim? Situated in picturesque Cornwall, not far from St Austell, The Eden Project has regenerated an old mining area and replaced an open china clay pit with three huge “biomes”, two of ...

The first time I went to the Eden project I wasn’t sure what to expect – there had been a lot of hype about it and wasn’t sure if it would live up to my expectations. When we arrived there we looked for car parking space, there are plenty of car parks but some of them are quite a walk to the main site itself, however there are shuttle busses ...

When I first heard about the Eden project I could not wait to visit and now almost five years later I have finally been and my verdict is….excellent!!! The Eden project has been referred to as the eighth wonder of the world. It is a place which brings together the importance of plants, places and people and shows us that plants do a ...

The Eden Project, dedicated to preserving as diverse a range of the earth's plant life as possible using "biomes" (like a giant greenhouse really and sort of spherical) to replicate their natural environment. Based in Cornwall is touted as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". (Here's a little known fact – the Eden Project is one ...

If you believe there should be a place: That celebrates life and puts champagne in the veins, Is all about education but doesn"t feel like school, To hold conversations that might just go somewhere, Where research isn"t white coats in secret but shared exploration to help us all, That is a sanctuary for all who think ...

much better places to visit in Cornwall! - Advantages: none, pure commerce, hyped, suppose provided employment for the region - Disadvantages: expensive even in the winter, extremely commercialised, we found several trapped magpies in the Mediterranean biome which tried frantically to get out

Phew again! I was definitely getting very hot under my fig-leaf. The air was warm and hanging heavy and yet at the same time felt moist and damp. My loose shirt seemed to cling to my body as I walked. I looked around at the banana trees bearing their fruit and the surrounding splurge of plants. In the distance I could hear the sound of ...

Although I had heard that The Eden Project was being described, rather grandly, as “The Eighth Wonder Of The World”, I did try to keep an open mind as I arrived for my first visit to this new attraction in Cornwall, which opened officially on March 17th 2001.I arrived about thirty minutes before the opening time of 10am and queues were ...

The idea behind the Eden Project is to 'promote the understanding and responsible management of the vital relationship between plants, people and resources, leading towards a sustainable future for all.' The world's biggest green houses that will be part of the Eden Project were to be built in a disused China Clay pit, within ...

Built inside a disused slate quarry just north of St. Austell, The Eden Project is an oasis of of plants from all over the world. Contained with the largest hot houses, or 'Biomes', in the world, the selection of plants represents species from all corners of the planet; from Jungle fauna and flora to the plants of the earth's deserts. ...

My Girlfriend and I have decided to take a week off together (doesn't happen very often) and just chill-out! First 2 days great nice and relaxed, by the time the third day arrives - I'm bored! Lets think of some things to do...something different! I remember seeing a weird dome thingy on BBC news earlier in the year, hmmm that might be ...

I went to the Eden Project with a group of friends last summer and I have mixed feelings about it, I would definitely recommend that you go there to be able to comprehend the size of the incredible dome shaped (biomes) green houses, and for the experience, but when I went I must say I wasn't jumping up and down with excitement!! You ...
