Since it opened, the water park has regularly been full. And winning such an award « further reinforces Futuroscope's leadership position in the family entertainment sector on an international scale », Rodolphe Bouin, president of Futuroscope Xperiences, shares that two years of work and 57 million euros were needed to make this park a reality.
