We spent a day at the Eden Project and, initially, it wasn’t something I was really looking forward to doing as my expectations of the place were not high. Once we arrived, we parked our car and had to walk about half a mile to the entrance -- you can get a bus, but we found them quite infrequent.
When you have gone through the main doors, you enter the outdoor area and can just see two huge biomes; one is the humid tropics biome, the largest conservatory in the world, and one is the warm temperate biome. In the outdoor area, there are different exhibits set up and you are able to interact with them, which would be great for kids and also educational. When we went, the weather was quite cold and a little rainy, but once you walk into the biomes, everything changes. In the humid tropics biome, we literally had to remove most of our layers as it was really warm in there. In the warm temperate, we found it more comfortable to walk around, but in both, we found it absolutely fascinating being able to see what grows in these areas and we also got to taste the fruit and vegetables.
This is one place I would definitely recommend visiting even if plants are not your thing. I promise you it is amazing and worth the £10 entrance fee. I would suggest visiting in the afternoon when it is less busy and you get to spend more time at each exhibit.
