Queuing at ticketing at peak times (Today around (3) minutes)

Eden has become much more efficient in the ticketing department and long queues are now rarely seen.

You are advised not to come on a rainy day, as you won't see Eden at it's best and you may well get wet, as only 20% of the site is under cover, vast as the biomes are there's lots to see outside.

The car park persons (they are friendly and well organised) will direct cars as close as they can to the visitor centre, as spaces become available during the day.

Parking for the disabled is available next to the visitor centre.

If you have a dog with you, Limited shade parking is available, there are no kennel facilities at Eden, as yet. There is cycle parking and lockers cyclist also discounted entry.

Park and ride buses cover most of the parking area, and run frequently and continuously during opening times, so you can get a lift to the visitor centre and back again. Land trains run from the visitor down to and up from the Biomes.

Open now is the new visitor lift next to the 'The Core' Building.

Friends, ticket holders and membership card holders have a 'Fast Track' entrance route for entry into Eden. At the present time this is situated on the left hand side of The Street, but watch for signs as you enter.

The humidity and heat in the Humid Tropics Biome is now being kept lower in the day time, when visitors are in there, and boosted at night for the plants benefit.

This makes it more comfortable during your expedition. Inside it's up to 37C at the top by the water fall. Short sleeves and comfortable footwear is recommended.

Limited hanger space in the link Building for your coats etc. Please don't leave any valuables there or baggage.
