Vulcania: attractions on volcanism for everyone!
A place for learning as well as leisure, Vulcania is an amusement park that allows everyone to better understand how volcanoes and our planet work.
Bringing science to life in the mode of sensations and emotion while remaining faithful to its educational ambition, this is the challenge of Vulcania. An objective which considerably modifies the site in form and in spirit, with a new articulation between attraction and knowledge, between emotion and knowledge.
Young and old can come together around attractions and enriching workshops. The choice of a scenography that is both more lively and more involving places the emotion aroused in visitors at the heart of the adventure. It becomes a formidable vector of knowledge to better share and understand the major issues of the 21st century.
