A world of light, water and fantasy
As soon as you pass through the entrance gate of Aquascope Poitiers, you enter another world. All around you, fountains move, beams of light sparkle and colours reflect on the water. Aquascope is not a traditional water park, but a unique water attraction of technology, nature and art. The central theme is the magic of water.
