Why I love...

FUTUROSCOPE!
At Futuroscope you can have loads of fun but also learn something at the same time - not many theme parks offer that combination. The fun comes from the fantastic rides - Dancing with Robots is a favourite! And then there are the  amazing 3D films that take you under the sea or show you the world as it might be in the millions of years time. The future is 'wild' as they say! I will definitely go again - Milly Jones.
