Explore and Play is a 75-minute session, best suited for children aged 2 to 5 years and their families, to discover more about Eden Project's fascinating plants and their connections to them. Each session will have a different theme with plants to find in Eden Project's iconic Biomes. Our facilitators will meet you at the beginning of each session and, after introductions, they’ll share clues to find the plants. Explore the Biomes together, then join in with play activities linked to the session theme. 

This session includes sensory play – handling plants, using clay, paint or play-dough and food tasting. Before attending, please inform us of any intolerances or allergies by emailing natureconnections@edenproject.com
