Futuroscope was the first park in France to be created in 1987, and has a unique positioning between leisure and education. A forerunner in the image sector, with the creation of France's first dynamic cinema attractions with 3D and 4D effects, it is now pursuing its goal of becoming a European destination for short breaks.

Integrated into the CDA in 2011, Futuroscope has positioned itself as a family park, with quality attractions that have won numerous awards and are often linked to cutting-edge technologies: Voyage Extraordinaire (1st tilting platform in France), Objectif Mars (1st roller coaster in the park) and Chasseurs de Tornades (voted best attraction 2022 by the prestigious Themed Entertainment Association -TEA).

With more than 50% of its visitors staying for two days, a hotel park with more than 1,850 rooms close to the park in 11 hotels, including 2 themed hotels, and its own tour operator Futuroscope Destination, Futuroscope has always been a destination for visitors. Since 2020, Futuroscope has been pursuing its expansion plan with 2 new themed hotels: in 2022, Station Cosmos, imagined as a real space base, and its Space Loop restaurant, the first roller-coaster restaurant in France, and in 2023, Ecolodgee, with its 120 wooden lodges scattered in a haven of peace in the heart of nature.

Futuroscope has leveraged its technical and technological expertise through its subsidiary Futuroscope Maintenance et Développement, which offers engineering services in consulting, design, deployment and maintenance of high-tech attractions, also as a service provider. Projects include a 360° immersion room for the Yves Rocher Foundation, and the 4D projection room for Attention Menhir! at Parc Astérix.

Certified ISO 50001 for its energy performance management since 2019, Futuroscope is aiming for carbon neutrality by 2025. To achieve this, it is committed to an environmental and energy policy focusing on energy, waste management and reduction, preservation of water resources, biodiversity and soft mobility.

Here are just a few examples of the measures we have taken to reduce our carbon footprint:
- since 2020, the park has purchased 100% of its electricity from renewable sources
- bleacher benches for the night-time show are made from recycled 7,000 TETRA PAK food cartons
- devices for converting urine into agricultural inputs (fertilizer) have been installed in collaboration with Toopi Organics, a process that saves over 2,000 m3 of water each year.

GO TO 2025

At the end of 2020, Compagnie des Alpes, the Département de la Vienne, Banque des Territoires and Futuroscope signed a new shareholders' agreement for a €300 million investment plan between now and 2030 (2/3 of which before 2025).
The next steps in this plan will be the opening of an indoor theme park in summer 2024 and a new attraction in 2025. This ambitious project should consolidate the park's position as one of the most attractive in France, and lead to the creation of 750 jobs (direct and indirect).
