Futuroscope
A truly educational and world class theme park
Parc du Futuroscope® is unique. It attracts over 1.5 million visitors annually and is quite exceptional. Many school groups return year after year to experience this park. Built in the heart of France, just north of Poitiers, it brings you the very latest in giant-screen film, video interaction and the internet. Futuroscope offers breathtaking imagery as well as incredible architecture. See www.futuroscope.com for details of the many attractions.
Thrills, Imagination, Discovery… at Futuroscope there are more than 30 fascinating experiences to excite your senses. For 2008 Futuroscope is unveiling even more new attractions on the theme ‘The Future Is Wild’. From February you can throw yourself into the topsy-turvy world of the Castle of Giddiness (Citadelle du Vertige). Here you can get close up to Dinosaurs and gigantic creatures of a lost world or fly at high speed around the Arctic circle with the Lapland Express (Laponie Express). From April you can enjoy a world exclusive: Animals of the Future (Les Animaux du Futur). Thanks to advanced technology known as ‘augmented reality’, you can join an interactive safari set in the future. Here you’ll meet animals that might be inhabiting our planet in 5, 10 and 20 million years from now. Watch them, touch them, feed them and be fascinated by this ‘real time’ world with the Squid monkey and other creatures of the future. Live the future today!
