This is the view of the Eden Project you get on arrival, having passed through the Visitor Centre at the entrance. In front of you to the left is the Rainforest Biome and to its right, the Mediterannean Biome. Surrounding both indoor biomes is the Outdoor Biome which represents the temperate world including Europe, America, parts of Asia and, of course, Cornwall.

You can also see the lake (currently covered, to the left in front of the Rainforest Biome) which is used as a stage area in summer for the Eden Sessions, the Eden Project's outdoor summer concert programme. In winter the lake is transformed into a covered ice rink, part of the Eden Project's 'time of Gifts' season.

To the right you can see the Core, the Eden Project's Education Centre, with its copper-clad roof and behind you the Visitor Centre building. If you look down you can see that the Eden Project's smaller visitors are catered for so there's something for people of all sizes to see. We're particularly keen on the one that encourages you to 'look all around'.
