Editorial, never paid. How the Dad Score works
The Eden Project fills a former clay pit with enormous biomes housing rainforest and Mediterranean landscapes, plus outdoor gardens and trails. Inside the Rainforest Biome the air is warm and wet, paths climb past tropical plants, and storytelling exhibits explain how people and plants connect. It is one of Britain's most unusual landscape days out.
Why it works for a dad and child
Stepping from Cornish drizzle into a steaming rainforest together is pure theatre. You both slow down and look up.
