With the most advanced film projection techniques, the world's largest \screens and a multitude of mind boggling activities to choose from, it is no wonder that Futuroscope draws nearly 3 million visitors annually.
A gigantic sphere set against a sloping sheet of glass, a translucent cube jutting up from the ground, reflective organ pipes, or crystals diving up the sky with their mirrors - the Futuroscope constitutes a futuristic universe, like a backdrop to a science fiction novel.
