If you fancy a family holiday with a difference this year then I may be able to help you out.

Futuroscope is a leisure park in France situated 10 kilometres north of Poitiers. The park is based upon multimedia, cinematographic futuroscope and audio-visual techniques. It has several 3D cinemas and a few 4D cinemas along with other attractions and shows, some of which are the only examples in the world – so you are guaranteed some fun.

One of the attractions you can expect to see is, Arthur the 4D Adventure, where you can climb onto your flying ladybuggy and join Arthur in a hair-raising race against time, whizzing around the fairy-tale world of the Minimoys – sounds good to me.

Or if it’s the shows that you have a soft spot for, the main attraction is The Blue Note Mystery, which promises a blend of giant images on water screens, special effects, lasers, jets of flame and light that end the day in a glorious extravaganza.

And the good news about this prize, is that you don’t have to worry about anything as it is all taken care of, ferry travel, two nights bed and breakfast, evening meals and tickets to the park and for The Blue Note Mystery are all included.
