School, college and university visits

Here at the Eden Project in Cornwall, education is central to our mission as a charity. We offer exciting learning opportunities for students of all ages at schools, colleges and universities.

Latest news: booking is now open for our school ice skating sessions and 'Infants on ice' play sessions for winter 2011/12.
