Calling all earthlings!

Something BIG is coming to Eden this summer...

Martian mega-monster CO₂-Zilla has landed and is threatening to destroy the world... starting with Eden.

Inspired by an exclusive bespoke Comic Strip, visitors can team up with Dennis, Gnasher, Minnie and friends on an epic quest to defeat CO₂-Zilla, rebel against climate change and Go Wild for the planet.

Join us for a wild, unforgettable and blam-tastic adventure, packed with exciting games and activities for the whole family to enjoy. AWESOME!

About our partnership with Beano

We're excited to be working with Beano this summer as we both believe that stories have the power to change the world.

Beano's story started over 80 years ago, and they have been entertaining generations of families ever since. Home to an ever growing cast of characters, Beanotown is an imaginative world for people to escape to — a place of fun, excitement and adventure... just like Eden.

Storytelling is also a part of our DNA here at Eden. Our story started over twenty years ago, when the Eden Project site was just a sterile clay pit; an exhausted and barren landscape. Today, the Eden Project has bloomed in to a beautiful global garden – a living landscape full of life and stories about our world today and how we can act together to protect it for future generations.

In order to protect this planet, Spaceship Earth, we must come together to address the planetary emergency. So, like Dennis and friends teaming up on their quest to save Eden from the evil CO₂-Zilla, we know that there is an undeniable power when we work together for the benefit of all living things.

Relaxed entry slots

We’ll be opening early on some Wednesdays in summer (17 and 24 August from 8am) to allow those who may benefit from a more informal experience, such as those with autism and sensory or communication needs, to enjoy site at their own pace. Please note that this includes all the Beano summer activities apart from the workshops in the Tipi.

The programme

Follow the on site trail to track CO₂-Zilla around Eden to discover its weaknesses and learn ways to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) to keep the climate cool.

Explore to your heart's content and take part in six 'Wilder' themed family-friendly activities around Eden. Don’t forget to collect your bespoke Eden Beano comic from the visitor centre!

Programme details

These workshops are included in admission but pre-booking at the Tipi is advisable.

Daily Sessions at 11, 1, 2, 3pm.
