Has anyone been, what's it like, can you take picnics etc etc. I was thinking of using my Tesco vouchers.

ooo didn't know you could use Clubcard vouchers there , are there any other places which accept them in France ?

Ooh I went there about 10 years ago on a school trip! I remember having a great time but not much else about it! A lot of technological stuff, simlutaors etc and outdoor play areas pretty sure there were picnic tables. Sorry I am not much good at all am I? lol.

It's ok but I'd only go if you are close by. It's quite expensive especially if you buy food there. I'm pretty sure you can take a picnic.

oops

also pretty sure that was where we saw an amazing laser/water fountain type show in the evening Maybe...

My memory is shite

We'll be about an hour & a half's drive away, we're staying in France for 3 weeks and I thought it would be a good full day out for the dc. Yes there's an evening show, looks like it's lasers. I'm planning on doing as little as possible for the rest of the holiday.

We'd be similar distance . Have been advised here is closer and worth the trip.

MorocconOil · 14/07/2008 21:24

Hmmmm, suppose it's not too far away then. I think it's quite dated TBH. When it opened it would have been quite impressive, but we found the films/shows a bit tired and passe. However if you have some rainy weather it's somewhere to go, although you still get wet walking from attraction to attraction.

The Aquarium in La Rochelle is much better IMO.

We did it as a school trip too schneebly, was fab as far as I remember.

cornsilk · 14/07/2008 21:25

Where is it?

schneebly · 14/07/2008 22:02

near Poitiers I think

we went there as adults about 8 years ago. i remember that the butterfly film was really good - it showed it on the floor, screen and i think even ceiling.
there was a lovely campsite nearby as well.

My stepsons loved it when they went two years ago aged 8 and 11.

Went there as adults about 8 years ago . Really enjoyed it and definitely planning to take the DCs when they are old enough.
