Why is the Eden Project closed?
Why is the Eden Project closed? The Eden Project is to remain closed to visitors into the New Year for safety reasons following last weekend's flooding and landslips. Managers at Eden have made the decision to extend the closure after further assessments of the damage to the site and say the earliest it could reopen is January 6, 2021.
Is the Eden Project losing money?
The prolonged closure and continuing restrictions on visitor numbers resulted in Eden Project Ltd losing more than £7 million in revenue. This means that some of the 35 people who came back to Eden following the 2020 redundancies again face losing their jobs for not too dissimilar reasons less than three years on.
Is it hot inside the Eden Project?
The Eden Project is home to the largest indoor rainforest in the world, with over 1,000 varieties of different plants and a temperature of between 18-35 degrees celsius. It's a good idea to come to The Eden Project with layers on, as I found the rainforest biome pretty warm in comparison to the Cornish summer!
