”First you said it’s not just a greenhouse, now you’re saying it is and that’s the entire point! Ice skating at christmas is somewhat irrelevant when I visited in June, and as for zip wires, if I’d wanted theme park rides I’d have gone to one. I’ve been to real rain forests and I guess I expected something more like that, but on a smaller scale obviously. Species we hadn’t seen before, or have rarely seen. There were a few birds and insects around, but I did think there’d be more. I also didn’t expect the huge crowd meaning we had to shuffle at snails place, and if an interesting insect did appear the huge screaming crowd of kids around it scared it off in very short order. Nor did we expect the kids deliberately swinging the wobbly bridge so we couldn’t cross it, we went back several times, each time a new group was doing the same. The cloud bridge was also disappointing, just water vapour blowing out of holes in it, and the ever present groups of kids standing over them, screaming each time they went off. Not sure what I expected, but not that.
If others like it, good for them. But to me, there was very little I’ve not seen elsewhere, and while I admit I’ve been lucky to travel to real rain forests, a hefty chunk of what was there can be seen in public greenhouses elsewhere for considerably less money.”
You’ve visited real rain forests and were disappointed with “greenhouses”? That’s hardly surprising, is it, in those circumstances. Like comparing apples with oranges.
yes, you have been lucky. Most people aren’t and I expect most of them will find Eden a fabulous experience.
