During our summer hols in England, we managed to fit in a trip to the Eden Project (http://www.edenproject.com/) in Cornwall. It was pretty expensive, but the money goes to a good cause (it is a charity project).
Following a wise tip, we went first to the mediterranean biome. This was okay - just liek walking about on holiday really. There was some fresh lemonade which was good value.
Then we went to the tropical biome.
It reminded us of Venezuela and Sri Lanka, especially the large number of tiny ants everywhere.
The planting was very well done and gave the feeling of really being in the tropical jungle, especially away from the walls. Around the jungle house/cottage, they had planted an allotment style garden, complete with a few flowers and washing hanging up to dry. The irregularity and mixture of planting gave it a really authentic feel.
I'd say the Eden Project is definitely worth a visit, but not much cop for children under about 12.
