The Eden Project in Cornwall houses two biomes with over
1,000 varieties of plant from many diverse climates and
environments. Nestled in a huge crater is the largest rainforest
in captivity with year-round family events and exhibitions all
in the tropical heat of four different environments: Tropical
Islands, Southeast Asia, West Africa and Tropical South
America. The enormous trees and winding paths into the vast
interior are dramatic and you can even try a canopy walkway,
or see a waterfall and Orchid Pergola.
