Family Holiday to the Eden Project?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone taken a shortbreak family holiday to the Eden Project? If you stayed overnight, did you go for Plymouth, or something closer like Bodmin?


I'm thinking it looks like there's some fun stuff for kids in Plymouth, if we make a weekend of it. But also, Tintagel is not that far away, and there's Go Ape near Exeter. We're driving, so no worries about train times etc.


Little Saff is 9yrs, so we're looking for stuff for older kids (which will hopefully be fun for Mr Saff too -- the biggest kid of them all!).


Any thoughts?

We went to St Austell at Easter too and loved it (have booked to go back in October). There?s a combined ticket for the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan which you can buy online. Heligan was the favourite part of our week down there!

Thanks everyone! Some great stuff here. :-D


I'm now looking at staying in Newquay and visiting Perranporth one day, then Eden Project the next day. I know it seems like a lot of driving, but we're just squeezing this in as side trip on longer visit to friends near Glasto.


Feasible?

We stayed at Poltarrow Farms. It was SO lovely and the family who run the farm are fantastic. The kids can help feed various animals in the morning and there?s an indoor swimming pool, a games room and a toddler playroom.

    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.
