A word of warning... North Devon to The Eden Project may only be 90 ish miles but the roads are so winding it took us 2.5 hours to get there! It's worth it though to visit.
It was relatively busy but we were thankful it wasn't the school holidays - definitely worth trying to go out of school time. When you walk in there's this incredible view of the centre and the biomes.
Of course I took Noz along for the trip - more photos under Noz World Tour later!
There are four key areas- the rain forest biome (with temperatures up to 40 degrees!), the Mediterranean biome, the core and the outside area. Each biome explores different countries - we headed for the rainforest biome first. Here are some of the things we found...
Next we headed over to the Mediterranean Biome...
The Mediterranean biome is much smaller than the rain forest biome but has some really interesting features, especially if (like me), you're very interested in chillies! The Mediterranean biome also has a restaurant inside so you can feel like you're on holiday whilst eating but sadly we had a boring sandwich on the way in - save yourself for the nice food inside the centre!
We mainly focused on the biomes but took the mini bus around the wider centre too. The whole centre is dedicated to sustainable living and there are some really interesting features in the centre and areas (like The Core) to make it very accessible for children.
Well worth the visit if you're into this kind of thing - it's like stepping into a different world. It's tricky when we're all the way up North in Leeds but if you pay once you get access for the full year so you can visit as many times as you like. The Eden Sessions look really interesting too and we even saw Elbow warming up for their act that evening!
