Eden Project

Sky-high rainforest lookout to open soon

Visitors to the Eden Project’s Rainforest Biome will soon get a chance to climb way above the treetops and enjoy a unique bird’s eye view of the biggest greenhouse in the world.

The Rainforest Lookout is a new aerial platform at the top of the 150-foot-high biome – taller than the Tower of London – so visitors can look down on the tropical canopy in a way they never could before.

It’s officially opening this weekend but here’s a sneak preview video showing the Lookout being hoisted up to the top of the Biome.

Tim Smit, Eden’s Chief Executive, said: “We’re going to give visitors a whole new perspective on the rainforest with a view usually seen by only the most intrepid of explorers and scientists….and birds! The world’s largest rainforest in captivity is about to become even more thrilling – and terrifying.”

From the Lookout, visitors will be able to see giant trees such as kapok and balsa which have nearly reached the biome ceiling. They may even catch a glimpse of wildlife such as tree frogs and tiny birds known as Sulawesi White Eyes.
