VULCANIA (Auvergne)
WHAT
This scientific exploration park gathers more than 30 animations and projections, to live the adventure of the earth. In a site with architecture between cone and crater, Vulcania offers an educational tour for the whole family (from 6 years old).
"Rumble Gallery" and Etna Room, Volcanic Garden, "On the track of volcanoes", "man facing volcanoes", "earthquake simulator" are all stages of this fascinating journey. AT Vulcania, the youngest can play with lightning-recreating plasma disks and giant dominoes articulated to illustrate seismic waves.
This year, a new film, "Forces of Nature", broadcasts images of tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions ... filmed by a team of scientists. Emotions guaranteed!

"Planet Observer" invites visitors to a fabulous trip over the most beautiful volcanic landscapes. And this, thanks to a software animation of high resolution sattelite images on a digital model that allows to fly over the planet from the moon and zoom up to 30 meters above the surface of the earth.
