Virtual reality entertainment area in Futuroscope Park

Recently, the world's leading visual science and technology park, Futuroscope, welcomed its 60 millionth visitor.

Not only is it a place for entertainment, the park is also a place where visitors have the opportunity to interact with advanced science and technology of the future.

Fight against giant tornadoes, fight electromagnetic fields and solar flares, admire the beautiful earth from the vastness of space, or watch the miraculous development of flora and fauna… all of these can only be found at Futuroscope amusement park.

Located on an area of ​​35 hectares in the suburbs of Poitiers city, in the province of Vienne, more than 300km west of Paris, Futuroscope is the first amusement park in France specializing in information technology, digital and imaging science, awakening all human senses in multidimensional space.

Futuroscope Park was born in 1987 thanks to the idea of ​​René Monory, President of the Provincial Council of Vienna, who at that time really wanted to build a futuristic city to create a driving force for the development of tourism economy for a purely agricultural province, while raising public awareness of new information and communication technologies.

Run by the Compagnies des Alpes Group, Futuroscope is constantly innovating to attract the public to itself.

True to its name Futuroscope, which roughly translates to "illuminating the future," the park's management wants to combine entertainment andeducation , guiding visitors to the sciences of the future, with direct player experience through virtual reality adventures, to thereby better perceive the world and be more conscious of their living environment.

Starting with the largest and most modern 3D and 4D cinema rooms in Europe at that time, Futuroscope developed entertainment games not only using image, sound and light technology, but also combined with popularizing knowledge through programs related to environmental science, climate change, the world of flora and fauna, Earth science, space...

Consistently ranked in the Top 5 amusement parks in France, Futuroscope has three times received the Thea Award for the world's best attraction, awarded by the Association of Thematic Amusement.

Mr. Jérôme Neveux, in charge of press and external relations, said that Futuroscope recently had the honor of welcoming its 60 millionth visitor, contributing to affirming the good performance in the park's operations.

Mr. Jaunay-Marigny became the 60 millionth visitor to Futuroscope Park on August 8, 2023.

"Up to now, we have about 40 games and entertainment programs that attract all ages and audiences, especially young people, of which up to 60% are families coming to play.

Not only domestic guests, we also welcome a large number of international guests, most of whom come from Spain, Belgium, the UK, and countries in the European Union," he shared.

The park’s appeal is widely recognized by visitors. Local youth Dorian Nouhaud confessed to having visited the park 6-7 times because he likes the entertainment here, which is both attractive and educational, and also because each time he comes, he finds new interesting things.

Dorian said: "Coming here, I learned a lot about science and technology, such as experiencing tornado hunting games or visiting an upside-down house, which helped me understand the terrible impacts of climate change, so that I can be more aware of protecting the environment."

Dorian's cousin Leila Horta wants to watch 3D and 4D movies, because "when I put on the glasses, I feel like I'm in the movie."

Not only young people but also parents were as excited as their children when experiencing Futuroscope. Mr. and Mrs. Fouchier and their children from Lyon expressed their strong feeling of being overwhelmed when seeing the large park with many digital games and modern imaging technology.

3D and 4D movie shows always attract a large audience.

"I find games not only entertaining but also educational," said Alexandre Fouchier. "Many entertainment programs provide rich and interesting knowledge not only for children but also for adults, such as knowledge about space, the universe and the Earth."

As for his wife, Natalie Fouchier, "science films are also great, because they bring about the wonders of nature and the Earth." She affirmed: "This is the first time the whole family has visited Futuroscope, but it will definitely not be the last. We have to come back here."

With its unique experience and thematic strengths in the entertainment world, Futuroscope is preparing to write a new chapter in its development, in which artificial intelligence and robotics, 3D printing technology, biotechnology and environmentally friendly activities will be applied to make Futuroscope a green holiday destination for families in France and Europe.

Sharing about future plans, Mr. Jérôme Neveux said: "In order to attract more domestic and international tourists and increase their length of stay here, Futuroscope has decided to invest 300 million euros from now until 2025 in the development of new entertainment programs, including the Aquascope project, an underwater entertainment area, and the construction of environmentally friendly resorts, thereby mobilizing people to be more aware of participating in protecting the planet, fighting climate change and reducing the greenhouse effect."

In the context of strong development of 4.0 technology, science amusement parks like Futuroscope will be a favorite destination for young people, always aiming for new, creative and environmentally friendly technology.
