Eden Project
A great rainy-day botanic-garden in Cornwall

The Eden Project is a stunning environmental and educational attraction set in a reclaimed clay pit near St Austell, Cornwall. It's famous for its giant biomes housing the world's largest indoor rainforest and a Mediterranean landscape. Families can explore lush gardens, interactive exhibits, and seasonal events like ice skating in winter. Highlights for kids: The Rainforest Biome with treetop walkways and waterfalls, the Mediterranean Biome with olive groves and lemon trees, and the outdoor gardens with play areas and sculptures. Younger children love the 'Seed' play area and storytelling sessions. Ages: Suitable for all, but toddlers (2+) will enjoy sensory experiences; older kids (5-12) love the adventure trails and educational workshops. Teens can engage with sustainability talks and behind-the-scenes tours. Facilities: Pushchair-friendly paths, baby-changing facilities, lockers, buggy hire (free or small fee), and a wide range of cafes (high chairs available). Picnic areas are available outside. Practical tips: Book tickets online in advance for best prices and timed entry. Allow at least 3-4 hours. The site is mostly under cover, so it's great for rainy days, but outdoor areas are exposed. Wear comfortable shoes.
