A pioneering and visionary park
Founded in 1987, the Futuroscope is not just any amusement park. Born from the bold dream of the president of the General Council of Vienne, René Monory, it established itself as the first park of its kind in France, with one ambition: to give a new lease of life to a rural area. Since then, nearly 2 million visitors come each year to marvel at more than 40 attractions and shows, all more spectacular than the last.
The Vision 2025 plan: an explosion of new offerings and innovations
With Vision 2025, the Futuroscope has shifted into high gear! The investments are colossal: 300 million euros to transform the park into a true short stay destination. Award-winning attractions such as Objective Mars and Tornado Hunters, two themed hotels (Station Cosmos, Ecolodgee), and the incredible indoor water park Aquascope have emerged from this dynamic. The immersive dimension is at the heart of the experience, propelling the Futuroscope among the must-visit European resorts.
The Aquascope: dive into the best water park in the world!
The latest aquatic gem of the park, the Aquascope, spreads its 6,000 m² covered area across three sensational universes. With light shows, video mapping, dizzying slides, an outdoor river, and spaces specifically designed for children, the Aquascope guarantees a cocktail of unprecedented aquatic adventures. And since the spectacular never stops at the Futuroscope, the Aquascope has won the prestigious Thea Award 2024, elevating it to the top of the global water park ranking.
Mission Bermuda: the attraction that will shake you up!
Hold on tight: the Mission Bermuda attraction, the result of five years of hard work, reinvents the aquatic roller coaster with an epic and completely immersive course. Board a boat, face mists, explosions, rapids, and a sensational drop of 16 meters. With its Rocking Boat technology, each passage triggers special effects perfectly synchronized with the story! This colossal project is proof of the tireless creativity that energizes the Futuroscope.
Tornado Hunters, Objective Mars, and other gems to experience
Shows, special effects, and technology merge to create attractions like Tornado Hunters, named the best attraction in the world: take a seat on a rotating platform facing the largest indoor cylindrical LED screen and try to tame the storm! Don’t miss The Extraordinary Journey, a tribute to Jules Verne, which transports you around the globe in breathtaking minutes.
The Objective Mars roller coaster makes you an astronaut for a day, oscillating between futuristic tests and interstellar sensations, rewarded for its innovation. If you love 4D adventure, don’t miss “Spark, the Curse of the Black Opal,” and for speed enthusiasts, the “Sebastien Loeb Racing Xperience” plunges everyone into the heart of a thrilling virtual car race.
Nocturnal shows and a magical atmosphere
When night falls, it’s time for fairy tales with The Key to Dreams, an astonishing outdoor show orchestrated by the best event show creators. Amid monumental sets, water games, and pyrotechnics, visitors experience an unforgettable finale, a perfect summary of the magic that reigns over the park!
Exclusive accommodations to extend the adventure
To not miss any part of the experience, two themed hotels await little and big dreamers.

As for the Station Cosmos Hotel, it propels its visitors into the vastness of space, with rooms worthy of a spaceship: guaranteeing nights under the sign of adventure!
Accessibility, ecology, and offers suited for everyone
