Originally called Eden Project North, it follows the success of the Eden Project in Cornwall which opened in 2001.
The £125million attraction was awarded £50m in the second round of the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund earlier this year, allowing construction to start.
It will have four huge "shell-like" domes surrounded by outdoor gardens.
The Rhythm Machine dome will have a "hyper-real forest" with large installations and immersive theatre.
