    The biggest attraction of this park could be the French people and their language. The fact that just about nobody (and especially most younger people!!) speaks something else than French, 99% of every attraction is in French and there is a complete lack of information (such as the basic map of the park...) in other languages makes you get suprised and leave you in awe the whole day long. If you do not have at least a firm base of reading / understanding French I would not visit this park. In this country where the majority of the people want to stay in the EU and also want to see themselves as a big player in this EU it is time for some concessions and a more welcoming attitude to other languages / foreigners. There are some nice attractions and rides. The queues sometimes are long but there is entertainment along the way. Plenty of places to sit down and relax. Long opening hours, even on a busy day in August you can visit this park in one day.

    Great place for family most of attractions are for kids at least 120cm, so pay attention for heights of your little ones. We went in February unfortunately weather was a bit cold but the great advantage, we entered directly to attractions, NO waiting lines. It’s was a bit annoying that most of attractions are virtually so at some point I felt dizzy 😵‍💫 Their final fountain show is just AMAZING, I had never seen something similar!

    A very dated theme park with only a single rollercoaster ride. All the rest of the rides are video / simulator type rides. There are a few shows which were enjoyable. The queues went down quickly on most rides. It's no Alton Towers so if you're expecting an experience like that then you'll probably be disappointed. It's still a nice day out though.

    Great day to finish our holiday. We would need at least a half day more for doing everything the kids would like to do. No really long queues but the weather was not kind to us, so we had no time enough. The only bad thing for us was that we don't speak French and there are attractions in which is a must. For the rest, for requesting information or at the restaurants...we sorted out the lack of French skills with our English or Spanish skills and a lot of good humour.

    We loved it... we took a fast pass for 5 attractions and it saved us a lot of time. If you want to do the Danse with robot, do the double not the tripple seat version as the double seat robot is much much more intense.

    A good parc with some nice rides. The parc is not too big and can be done in one day. There are queues but with the app and showtimes you can make the most of your day!

    A great park that's unlike any other I've been to. The attractions are varied and very exciting plus we really enjoyed the magic show. A strange thing is that some of the restaurants close after lunch and don't reopen until 7pm, which I found odd/frustrating for a theme park. I'm still rating 5* because I think the afternoon closure is a cultural thing.

    One of the best 4D experience my family and I have ever tried. Very futuristic and full of curiosity. You will never expectbwhats coming. Do not miss out the Tornado Chaser ride and the robot dance. It's awesome!

    Love this place. Prepare to walk cause there is a lot of walking to do to get from one spot to the next but it is all so pretty and worth it....... A little pricey but what isn't nowadays! Every attraction is worth a try even if they seem a little boring at 1st... I have seen them all and I definitely want to go again with my daughter :)

    Great experience at Futuroscope park. Unlike during my previous visits, waiting times for attractions were excessively long (up to 85 minutes). But we enjoyed it overall.

    Great fun for all the family. We visited in the February half term holidays and found it quite busy. Waiting times for the rides were roughly 30- 45 minutes although they shortened after 4pm to 20- 30 minutes depending on the ride. After paying almost 200 euros for a family of four we were quite surprised that you also have to pay for parking when you exit !

    This year, another evening visit wizz around to catch up with the latest, new to us attractions. As our visit was in September, the park was less than 1/3rd full, as nearly all the children, families weren't here, back to school college, so we spent very little time queing. We did 2, both great, 'Objectif Mars' .. 3 mins roller coaster ride and next to it 'Chasseurs De Tornades' .. 10 mins, both 21C quality thrills. Managed to catch the IMAX film, on the giant screen, 'Dans les yeux de Thomas Pesquet' .. 25 mins long, featuring this French astronaut inside, and outside, the orbiting space station. Then of course the Futuroscope final spectacle, the evening show on the lake under the gaze of the crystal mirrors. A lazer show projected onto screens of sprayed water, coloured lights flame jets and a few very few fireworks at the end. A very spectacular spectacular end to the day, a daft tale, spoken in French, whimsical, very French, but essentially completely magical. If you don't watch this and love it I'd be amazed.

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY HERE. Me and my wife arrived at 10:30AM. Now it is 2:30PM and have only gone on 2 rides. Entry is expensive, food is actual garbage don’t even get me started, wait times are too long, and the park is not organized whatsoever. Line wait times are accurate, but you wait for 1-2 hours in a line (with a hidden line inside) just to be on the ride for 5 minutes MAX. EVEN THE BATHROOMS HAVE LINES!!! To think I spent over 100€ to be here and I am extremely disappointed with my visit. Mother in law recommended us to come here because 30 years ago it was great, I can now confirm it isn’t worth a second of my time.

    Nice visit after 8pm with cheaper tickets. A lot of attractions are closed already, but plenty of things still to do and explore. We were the first ones to experience the new Tornado chassers ride.

    The park had good attractions but we were disappointed. We expected more, expected a bigger park.. we were told we’d need 2 days but 1 day is enough.

    Very nice. A lot of fun, And really educational as an amusement park, perfect for children because they will return having learned something while having fun mile and one way. In short, perfect for young and old.

    It's a good all day until night 11pm with family. First time experience with this kind of rides but all worth it. Good for age 12 up. Not so much worth it if the kids is younger than 10 because they can not try most of the best ride inside and it will be too expensive to pay the entrance fee and not go with the fun rides plus it is a lot of walking around . They have souvenirs shop inside as well and many wonderful items too. Probably good for two days to enjoy this place and better not to take big bags with you while walking around because it's not that comfy (backpack would be handy or body bags) hehe 😁 at the end of the day we went to the car to put our bags ( inside are rain coats, biscuits and water bottle just incase) and the headback inside to have a good seat for the night show and no need to worry about our belongings. Enjoy! 😉

  • 4/5 Kwan Juk S. 3 months ago on Google • 46 reviews New
    We spent 2 days at Futuroscope! First week of January. Less people so no qeueing during this period. The kids loved the futurpolis (kidsland) however my daughter was measuring 102cm and most need to be 105cm tall, so be aware! However we liked the park alot. The raving rabbit attractions was very good. 4D was amazing. The late night open air show is fantastic. We all have a blast! The only thing that maybe can be improved are the opening hours of the coffeeshops and fast food restaurants. For take away coffee they were closed at 18:00. So no hot drinks after in the cold. The fast food restaurant had a break from 16-18:00… why? The recycle cups we can’t get a refund in that restaurant and we need to claim it outside in one of the foodtrucks , which of course they are closed too.. what a hassle! But other then that we all enjoy our days in Futuroscope.

    First visit at futuroscope, really nice. A good part of the attractions in 3d cinema, very popular awareness of the environment, very pleasant park A pleasant place for a short stay with enough to have a good time at an affordable price. A bit sad because we didn't visit Arthur attraction😞 Like all parks, there is quite a wait for certain activities. I recommend🙌

  • 5/5 Hugo B. 7 months ago on Google
    Spent 3 days we my wife my 4yo and 6yo and we all loved it, my only recommendation would be to ban all smoking it is almost impossible to escape smokers on every ride

  • 5/5 Alastair P. 7 months ago on Google
    Really good theme park. An afternoon wasn't anywhere near enough time to see everything even on a quiet weekday at end of August. queues were pretty short. Didn't find much to do for our 4 year old - probably best for 7+. Kennels available for pet day care but need proof of vaccine incl. kennel cough.

  • 3/5 Nick B. 6 months ago on Google
    We Dutch are too spoiled with amazing amusement parks. It was too much of the same, looking at action videos on a screen while the seat was moving a bit. Loved the robot dancing, though. Was clean, but a lot of attractions and restaurants were closed during the day.

  • 5/5 Vere V. 6 months ago on Google
    Last time, we went on a weekday (Friday out of holidays), and it was perfect! Apparently there were approx 2000 people, waiting time was never more than 5 min. Some attractions open a liter later during the day, but early enough to enjoy the whole park without problem.

    Various 4D experiences , suitable for kids(7-year old and above) and adults. Winter time maybe no need express pass, summer time …not sure how long you have to queue for the popular one. My favorite is “l’extraordinaire voyage” and my son’s favorite is “Les machines à voyager dans le temps ».

  • 4/5 James R. 8 months ago on Google
    Made for a good day out. Downside is the queues. 60+mins for the big rides. Otherwise it wsd good fun.

  • 5/5 Gary F. 8 months ago on Google
    Great activity centre for adults and children. Good quality food and entertainment. Only criticism is that it could be a little more multi lingual. Two days should be allocated to ensure you see all off the park.

  • 4/5 Joy N. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to visit with family. Futuroscope is the first theme park created in France. Since opening in 1987, it hosted nearly 44 million visitors. It owes its success to a unique positioning.

  • 5/5 Christophe B. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb parc, with unique attractions, my favourites "dance with robot" and "the extraordinary journey". For the latter one, I am still flying over the mountains and forests, when I think about it.

  • 5/5 Marco T. 2 years ago on Google
    Is a nice park for kids until 18th more or less, They don't have, for now, a lot of adventure attractions or rollercoasters, But is nice to visit. They have a lot of interative attractions

  • 4/5 Malik Mubashir H. 1 year ago on Google
    The theme park is great place to be in to visit once, but one has to buy extra packages to avoid long queues. The waiting time for a ride of marely 2 minutes is one and half hours which is frustrating. The better time for visiting the park is during the weekdays.

  • 5/5 Diego A. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great park. Most of the things are good for all ages, excluding the Rollercoaster and the dance with the Robot. The restaurant was nice and cheap. Even with rain it is possible to have a nice day there.

  • 4/5 Sean M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great day out with plenty to do. Queues weren't too bad (between 10 mins and an hour). Easy access with the pass sanitaire and staff very friendly. Food expensive inside so take your own food.

  • 4/5 Abdoulaye T. 3 years ago on Google
    Great visual attractions and few high velocity ones. Place was not crowded on this period so we were able to enjoy lots of attractions.

  • 5/5 nicolas r. 2 years ago on Google
    Very fun day! Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Attractions modern, interesting and great to do with kids (9-11y old). We spent 11h there and we could not get enough. We'll be back.

  • 4/5 Rene Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice! Nice and original attractions. The largest projection screens in Europe very nice shows and good food on site. Only drawback were the queues; we were there in the high season and had to wait sometimes over an hour. Recommend to well pick your date for visiting. Besides that, highly recommended!
