School trips to the Eden Project

Home to one of the world's largest rainforests in captivity, and with over 20 acres of outdoor gardens, the Eden Project is a fantastic place to learn, for pupils from Foundation stage right up to A level.

Find out how your school can visit, either on an independent, teacher-led trip, or a fully facilitated day complete with a curriculum-linked school workshop.

“The workshops are well run and the Eden experience can't be found anywhere else.”

A choice of ways to visit

Facilitated trip with workshop

Why not let us take over for the day? Our experienced Education Team offer a range of interactive, curriculum-linked school workshops for all ages which make full use of our Biomes and gardens. 

Costs for the trip are from £8.75 per pupil, which includes entry to Eden and the workshop.

Independent, teacher-led trip

We understand that sometimes your time is short, and our independent, teacher-led trips are a great way to explore Eden.

These trips cost from £7.60 per pupil for 18-year-olds and below. Teachers planning to visit independently should book with our Schools Team to enjoy discounted admission for their class, a welcome briefing and a free preparatory teachers' visit.
