Following yesterday’s flooding, the Eden Project is fully open today (Sunday 16 December). The Shadows and Light Christmas experience is taking place around the site and in the Biomes as normal this evening from 5pm. Hot food and drink will be available all day. The ice rink will be fully open. Father Christmas visits are sold-out today and will go ahead. There are Father Christmas sessions available tomorrow and the rest of the week from 10:30 to 19:30 - please book in advance via the Father Christmas webpage.

Opening times

We open every day throughout the year, except for Christmas Day, and a handful of days in January for essential maintenance, and operate slightly shorter winter opening hours.
