  ​Futuroscope, France

  Futuroscope is a unique European theme park in France with over 40 attractions drawing on different educational themes. Your students will be drawn into the power of a tornado, come up against electromagnetic fields and solar flares, lose their bearings in a zero-gravity environment and discover the secrets of a cosmonaut mission on Europe’s largest 4K IMAX screen. 

  Brand new shows include the spellbinding world of video mapping, lasers and special effects and every evening, after dark, the tour continues with an evening show – The Key to Dreams, a display of 3-Dimensional aquatic effects, lights, and images.

  School groups receive free study guides in advance of their visit covering the “Dances with Robots” and “Cosmic Collisions” attractions.

  And finally, groups will have the option to Learn to free-fly in the region’s first indoor free-fall centre conveniently located at the entrance to the park.

  All our school groups spend the night on-site at Futuroscope at either Hotel du Futuroscope or Hotel du Parc – Pirates.
