Mums been there about three times (first time when they were building it and the second and third times when the plants were getting established)
It's an amazing structure set in a disused quarry and the domes are surreal as they just appear out of the countryside. There are exhbits outside but the main attractions are the two biodomes, one contains a meditteranean climate the other a tropical / rainforest atmosphere.
My favourite was the tropics - it was boiling in there and the humidity is so high they have cool boxes to stand in. Steve would have been in his element there with all the plants and palms. One of the plants we have on our coffee table at home was there, within the biodome it was at least 10metres high!!! A big bugger!
By now me and mum were wilting so we escaped and fed our faces with some din din and then spent too much in the plant shop. i think we both have plant addictions...
here's some pics
