At Futurescope there are 22 main attractions in total and lots and lots else to explore. Attractions are based on multimedia, cinematography and audio-visual techniques, with 3D and 4D attractions, some of which are unique in the world. 

You can travel through time with the Raving Rabbids whilst sitting on a toilet, experience the Ice Age, dive to the bottom of the ocean with Jacques Cousteau and discover a tiny microscopic world and the inside of a spider’s web. There are also live shows including the iMagic show , and the Mysteries of the Cube which involved some risky gymnastics.

France’s first ever IMAX 4K laser cinema is genuinely fantastic. With Stephen Fry doing the commentary, you’re taken deep into the tiny world of a chipmunk and mouse. Imagine being smaller than a snake as it throws its mouth wide open and prepares for the kill, or seeing the hairy legs of a giant mouse eating spider reach out to grab you and gobble you up!

Students are visiting the city of Poitiers and the Futuroscope Attraction Park, the Palace of Justice and the Old Town, and are having a day at the park!

Students and staff enjoyed a day in the Futuroscope adventure park with water rides, rollercoasters and fun themed activities, it's safe to say they're having a fantastic time!!!

(not that we're jealous at all....)
