FRANCE—FUTUROSCOPE This science amusement park is a wonderland of technology that lets your students experience sounds, images, and sensations using the world's most advanced multimedia. Exhibitions include Kinemax (a rock crystal covered with mirrors housing a 400-seat cinema); Omnimax (a gigantic dome with a special fisheye lens, putting you into the heart of the action); and Le Tapis Magique, (including a film showing flights over the world's most impressive monuments and sites of natural beauty). There is also Océan Oasis, which leads you on an underwater exploration. This is an increasingly popular science trip, which never fails to impress.

Futuroscope is much more than a theme park, and you really can combine learning in a fun place! I would say why not also visit one of the many local chateaux whilst in the area—these are amazing to see.

Barcelona is a superb city, and is often overlooked for school trips, but for me it has everything! I reckon the best option is to stay in a nearby resort such as Lloret de Mar, which is usually much cheaper, safer and easier for teachers to manage.

This huge metropolis stands as a modern wonder of technology and architecture, yet brings the unique tradition and culture of Japan along for the ride, what more could you ask for your students.
