creatures that have never seen sunlight． For a break, I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world． I ended my travels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible T­Rex, and survived the experience!

　　I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope． Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the largest space­age parks in the world． This science and technology­based theme park in France uses the most advanced technology． Its 3­D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond． 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 available online． Futuroscope is not only for individuals, but is also the perfect mix of fun and learning for class outings． Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know their plans in advance can get the group admission rate． For

　　 anyone coming from out of town, Futuroscope has many excellent hotels nearby, most of which provide a shuttle service to the park． If driving, Futuroscope is within easy reach of the freeway． Plan your trip well before starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops that it is difficult to see them all． Come ready to walk a lot - be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or other walking shoes！

　　"观测未来"--刺激与求知

　　上星期我进行了一次太空旅行，到了太阳系的尽头，被拖进了一个黑洞。然后我去巴西旅行，感受了坠机后在丛林中生还的滋味。然后我跟随潜水员潜入海底，观看那些神秘的、从未见过阳光的生物。作为休息，我参加了赛车，并到世界上最险要的山上滑雪。最后，我和可怕的霸王龙面对面，死里逃生之后，我的旅行结束了。

　　我在"观测未来"用了一天就完成了这些事。"观测未来"于1987年开放，是世界上最大的太空时代公园之一。这座科技主题公园在法国，它采用了最先进的技术。它的立体电影院和巨大的电影屏幕为我们提供了在地球以及更远的地方进行全新体验的机会。参观者可以去从没去过的世界其他地方，可以潜入海底，飞越丛林或游览太阳系边缘。这些奇妙的、最新的信息以及大量动手实践学习的机会，让世界以一种全新的方式展现在游人面前。学习中心遍及整个公园，可以让参观者尝试做自己的科学实验，也可以了解到更多关于太空旅行、海底世界等方面的知识。

　　我是在公园入口为自己和朋友买的门票，不过也可以网上订购门票。"观测未来"不仅仅适合个人，也适合学生全班出游，因为它是娱乐与学习的完美结合。班级或大团体要提前告知"观测未来"，这样可以得到入场优惠。"观测未来"还为城外的游客在附近提供舒适的宾馆，大部分宾馆都有去公园的往返汽车。如果开车去，走高速公路很方便。出发前要计划好旅行，因为"观测未来"里有很多的表演、活动和纪念品商店，你很难全部浏览。做好走很长的路的准备--一定要穿舒适的运动鞋或其他便于步行的鞋！
