Plan your tertiary education visit
This page features useful advice for planning your visit, from booking your trip to health and safety guidelines.
Book your trip
All visits must be booked in advance by filling in our tertiary booking enquiry form. Your institute will be invoiced after your visit. Please note that education groups without a confirmed booking will not receive our discounted education rates.
When to visit
Eden Facilitated education groups are welcome on site from Monday to Friday during term time. As Eden can be very busy at peak times of the year, you may find visiting outside the main tourist season more rewarding.
How long your visit should be
In our experience, many institutes find they have not allowed enough time to explore Eden when planning their visit. Our site is large and four hours or more are required for a worthwhile exploration. Please remember this when you are planning your day.
Health and safety guidelines
We will do our utmost to ensure your visit is fun, worthwhile and safe. Please download the health and safety guidelines (PDF) to support you in your risk assessment process. If you have any concerns, please email the tertiary education team (email: tertiary@edenproject.com).
