Futuroscope
About
Futuroscope, located just north of Poitiers in the town of Chasseneuil‑du‑Poitou, is Europe’s leading multimedia theme park where technology and imagination collide. Visitors are invited to spend a full day exploring more than 40 attractions ranging from pioneering 3‑D and 4‑D cinema to high‑thrill roller‑coasters and grandeur live shows. The park’s signature Water‑Park, Aquascope, covers 6,000 m² of indoor water fun, featuring eight oversized slides, a dynamic wave pool, and a state‑of‑the‑art “aqua‑cinema” that immerses guests in a vibrant, color‑mapped oceanic adventure. A second resort, Zero Gravity, offers the first indoor free‑fall centre in France, letting guests experience 5 m‑high simulated skydiving flights with professional instructors. Admission to Futuroscope is sold as 1‑day or multi‑day tickets; individual visitors pay €48 per day, while groups of 20 or more can enjoy discounted fares of €34 per adult. Children aged five to twelve enter free when a parent or guardian holds an adult ticket, and children under five are admitted at no cost. Booking for these offers must be made in advance, and the park’s official booking platform—www.futuroscope.com—is the single channel for reserving tickets, rooms, and special experiences. A visit to Futuroscope is best planned for late spring through early autumn when the weather is milder and crowds are thinner. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline on the latest roller‑coaster, splashing through the Aquascope’s exotic waters, or soaring above the park in Zero Gravity, this family‑friendly destination delivers a unique blend of entertainment, education, and awe that appeals to children, teenagers, couples, and thrill‑seeking adults alike.
