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.

There is a lift next to the 'The Core' Building that will take you up to the higher levels and the Eden Shop and exit.

Allow yourself at least 5 hours To see around Eden, it's not unusual for visitors to arrive at 10 am and stay till closing.

Jo's Cafe is a good place to eat at Eden, as is the newly opened Bakery which is now fully open offering some of the freshest tastiest food around. (Closed in off season)

The Bakery is in the Link Building and in there you help yourself to what ever you would like to eat and drink, and pay for it when you leave.

There is also the Apple Cafe in the Visitors Centre and the Gallery is also open at peak visitor times. Recently also in the Med Biome where hot food is available.
