Futuroscope, one of the most fun places to go with children France

Many travelers who choose to discover our neighbor country by car. Furthermore, if you travel with kids you do strongly recommend a stop at Futuroscope, as it is one of the most fun places in France for children. The nearest city is a theme park in Poitiers Poitou-Charentes region, however, is located about 3 hours from Paris or Bordeaux, Lyon or about 5 or Bilbao .

By train you can stop at the Futuroscope TGV station which takes about 80 minutes from Paris. By plane the nearest airport is Poitiers, although in view of the distances to drive can also fly to any of the airfields of the French capital.

Visit to Futuroscope with young children

Although Futuroscope is about to turn 30, the jump you do for a time warp when you walk its facilities is much higher. It seems that the buildings have been removed from the mind of a mad scientist or a visionary who stood here in the XXII century. However, the feelings that you live there are much nicer than we can have after watching films based on a dystopian future as Matrix, 12 Monkeys, Terminator or Mad Max was recently re-released.
As mentioned earlier, in Futuroscope everything is designed for fun, but not worth the laughs and thrills at any cost, the main objective of its facilities and entertainment is entertain as you learn or discover, and it is an ideal for those premises I traveled with children.

When we visited the park our oldest son was 2 ½ years, so there were many attractions that could not yet be accessed by age and size (yes, you measure before entering). However, that was no impediment to enjoy the designated areas for young children and we with it, of course. Matt had a great time tinkering with machines of Leonardo where we literally fly after him with power to the pedals.
If you travel with children under three years there are many outdoor games, some related to the water (if you go this summer) and some interactive and multisensory projections. For example, to us he dazzled us with a review of The Little Prince in 3D in which virtually zambullías you in the magical world created seven decades ago a visionary genius like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

A time travel and discovery

We also remember fondly the attractions at Futuroscope called discovery. It is games and experiences that are aimed to learn more about art, nature, our past and the importance of respecting the environment, such as The Garden of Energy.
However, the park is constantly renewing its attractions and there are some where you have the sesación of time travel. For example, the Rabbids, which will ring gamers video game Rayman. Other attractions not to be missed are the Dances with Robots or Arthur (the Minimoys) 4D. The truth is that the resort is full of references to series or animated films to sound them to your children, so we return to that of "happy kids, happy parents". If you go to France vacation your kids will appreciate that you take to Futuroscope.
