类文赏读　话题导入 Futuroscope—Excitement and Learning Last week I took a journey deep into space，to the end of the solar system，and was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle1. After that，I joined some divers and went to the bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures that have never seen sunlight.

Visitors can get close to parts of the world they have never experienced，going to the bottom of the ocean，flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing，up­to­date information together with many opportunities for hands­on learning makes the world come to life in a completely new way for visitors. Learning centres throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments，as well as learn more about space travel，the undersea world and much more. I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park’s entrance，but tickets are also available4 online. Futuroscope is not only for individuals，but is also the perfect mix of fun and learning for class outings.
