Eden Project's Mission
We are an educational charity and social enterprise. We demonstrate and inspire positive action for the planet.
We are open every day over the festive period, except Christmas Day. Experience the magic of our lights experience – plan your visit.
Is your child an Eco Hero looking to change the world one green idea at a time? Then we need you!
We’re on the hunt for families across the UK who love getting involved in the great outdoors and playing in nature to help us raise awareness of ways nature can make a difference in your local community.
Please note, this competition has now closed. Thank you for your entries.
Whether your little ones love playing in the garden, have a great game idea for ways to explore their local park or love sharing their tips on how to recycle things to protect our planet, you could be in with a chance of winning a fully immersive eco experience for the whole family.
You will win an overnight stay at YHA Eden Project and a family day ticket to the Eden Project to rediscover the natural world as you've never experienced it before. Be some of the first to explore Nature’s Playground, our new outdoor play area which offers 500m² of nature-inspired fun, with lots of opportunities for water play and sensory activities.
Explore our massive covered Biomes to trek through our breathtaking Rainforest Biome and immerse yourself in the calm fragrance of the Mediterranean Biome. Enjoy extensive Outdoor Gardens, contemporary artworks, performance and storytelling. Discover places to rest, play and eat, and pick up inspiring ideas to take home on how to care for the planet that cares for you.
We’re looking for families across the UK who have a passion for nature and outdoor play. To enter – we'd like to know 1) how your Eco Heroes like to get involved with nature and 2) what are their biggest tips to being kinder to the environment.

This summer, explore Eden to connect with family and friends in fun, hands-on activities – from outdoor games and storytelling, to den building and a board game compendium!
Plus – let your imagination run wild and create your own den! Our Stage and Arena have been transformed into a colourful, lively den village, with a range of materials to choose from, to take on the challenge of building your very own den, using team work and imagination.
Take your pick out of our family-friendly games and playful challenges to test your skills – including hoopla, giant Jenga and four in a row! Our Tipis will be home to an exciting board game compendium where you will be able to challenge yourself with all the classics or maybe learn to play something completely new.
If you travel to Eden in a planet-friendly way, whether that’s by train and/or bus, on foot or by bike, your group can claim an Eden Guide Book worth £6 on arrival.
You'll get one Eden Guide Book per group, and if you’re also bringing children aged between 5-16, we’ll add a copy of our Children’s Guide Book, worth £5.
In order to claim your free gift, please make yourself known to the ticketing team on arrival at the Visitor Centre, and hold onto any train or bus receipts from your journey to us.
