School trips: Key Stage 2
Children aged 7 to 11 will have a fun and fascinating educational day out at the Eden Project.
School groups can either attend one of our exciting half-day workshops led by our education officers or come here on an independent teacher-led visit.
- 'We learnt about how special the rainforest is, and how we actually cannot live without plants!'
- School pupil following a visit to the Eden Project
Half-day workshops
Our workshops, described in detail in the PDF files below, are learning journeys exploring particular aspects of Eden. They are led by our experienced education officers, but the input and participation of your school staff is essential to the success of these workshops. Every workshop includes an exploration of one or more of Eden's three Biomes (Rainforest, Mediterranean or Outdoor). They are all linked to the National Curriculum and explore issues relating to education for sustainable development.
- Cost: £4.85 per pupil (includes admission)
- Maximum group size: 35 pupils; minimum charge of £97 applies for groups of fewer than 20
Independent teacher-led visits
For many schools this is a great way to explore Eden, especially if your time here is short. Following your introductory briefing you are free to explore the site at your leisure, undertaking your own activities or following one of our Eden Trails (see below). Space for your bags and a place to eat lunch can be provided.
- Cost: £3.80 per pupil (includes admission)
