Dinosaurs Return to the Eden Project

After more than a decade, one of the Eden Project's most loved family experiences returns to Cornwall this summer, reimagined for a new generation.

Looking for the best day out in Cornwall this summer? Step into a prehistoric world and explore one of the UK’s most ambitious dinosaur experiences in this must-see, all-age adventure, as the Cretaceous Period comes roaring back to the Eden Project from 25 July – 6 September.

Hidden within the lost world of the tropics, 15 dinosaurs and flying reptiles await discovery in one of the world’s largest indoor rainforests. Embark on your expedition through our Rainforest Biome and come face-to-face with a towering 40-foot Tyrannosaurus rex, colossal plant-eaters, hidden raptors lurking in the undergrowth and flying pterosaurs soaring overhead.

At the heart of the programme is Dinosaur World Live – the internationally acclaimed, Olivier Award-winning show, that has captivated audiences in theatres around the world.

This high-energy, 45-minute performance brings life-size dinosaurs to the stage through a mix of theatre, science and storytelling, captivating children and adults alike.

Included in the price of admission, the 45‑minute live show will run three times a day, seven days a week, throughout the summer holidays.

This is an open-air theatre experience, and does not require a separate ticket.

In the Mediterranean Biome, take a moment to slow down and settle in for an enchanting live storytelling session in the Citrus Grove. Celebrating 25 years of storytelling at Eden, these relaxed, family‑friendly moments bring imagination to life in a completely different way – for curious minds of all ages.

From 25 June to 1 September 2026, you’ll be able to enjoy a visit to the Eden Project for less, because we are taking part in the Government’s Great British Summer Savings scheme.
