Parc du Futuroscope - Cinema meets Theme Park

Thrills, imagination and Discovery. There’s no where else quite like Futuroscope. There are over 30 attractions to excite the senses. The 8^th Continent: students will learn about the urgent need to save our Planet. It was inspired by Charles Moore, a British sailor who discovered a gigantic “soup” of industrial and household plastic waste floating in the Pacific Ocean. The Little Prince: a 3D ride, based on Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s famous story with 4D effects (water, tickling, air and vibrations in the auditorium). Arthur the 4D Adventure: a unique experience that has been acknowledged by the Theme Park industry as one of the TOP TEN attractions in the world. Sea Monsters: produced by National Geographic, you are taken back in time to the Cretaceous period where you come face to face with gigantic creatures. Cosmic Collisions: from the American Museum of Natural History, students are taken on a breathtaking journey through time and space.
