What is Eden Project?

First, we’ll tell you a bit more about the Eden Project, for those who have never been or know about it!

It’s a naturalistic paradise for flourishing flora, towering trees and blooming buds.

Eden Project is also pretty world-famous. Being nestled in a 50-metre-deep crater, it forms the centrepiece of a glorious global garden.

You’ll discover a whole host of gorgeous gardens and nature here, as well as three biomes! Like the Rainforest and Mediterranean biome to the outdoor gardens and zip wires! There’s so much to do here, it’s the perfect summer family day out.

What is the Nature’s Playground?

Enjoy an outdoor adventure play area that is one of the biggest in the southwest!

You’ll discover a woodland landscape that spans nearly 500m² around the main beautiful building! With the essence of nature and adventure at its heart, it truly is a momentous moment!

This brilliant summer holiday activity involves so much for your budding adventurers! From a wood wide web, a willow coppice soakaway, a china clay pit area and lots of fun activities! The kids can zoom down slides, soar high on swings, climb ladders and explore the majestic nine-metre Tree of Life tower! It’s absolutely amazing and a tree immersion in nature that everyone can get on board with. And best of all…it’ll provide play all year round!

Not only that, but they host relaxed sessions over the course of the summer. Where you can explore Eden at your own pace!

Summer of Play

Last year, The Eden Project held a Summer of Play programme, filled with fun adventure activities! Focusing on creativity, imagination and outdoor play!

From storytelling, den building and board games galore with the biomes as your amazing backdrop!

If you head to the Orchard you would have found playful challenges to test your skills! From hoopla and giant jenga to four in a row! A bunch of family-friendly games for light-hearted competition!

It was a fantastic summer activity for kids and grown-ups too! We hope it’ll be on this year too!
