Vulcania: the must-visit park in the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes
Looking for a day packed with thrills and discoveries?
Nestled in the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes, Vulcania invites you to explore the mysteries of the Earth and space through immersive attractions, scientific experiments, and spectacular shows.
Located less than 30 minutes from our hotel in Clermont-Ferrand, this theme park promises a fantastic adventure for the whole family!
For those who love a rush, several experiences await:
At Vulcania, discovery takes on a whole new dimension!
The Planetarium, with its 22-meter dome, takes you on a journey through the solar system via spectacular projections.
In "Premier Envol" (First Flight), take on the perspective of a golden eagle and soar over the volcanic landscapes of Auvergne from within dynamic flight pods.
Another must-see experience is "Le Réveil des Géants d'Auvergne" (The Awakening of the Auvergne Giants) a 5D attraction that imagines the volcanoes of the region coming back to life. Thrills guaranteed!
Want to understand natural phenomena? In "Terre en Colère" (Angry Earth), you can virtually face earthquakes, cyclones, and other awe-inspiring forces of nature.
Younger visitors also have their own dedicated area: the "Cité des Enfants" (Children’s City), designed for ages 3–7, features games and hands-on activities centered around water, light, and mechanical systems.
Depending on the schedule, you can also enjoy bird-of-prey shows, scientific experiments with Professor Yapadrisk, and evening events held during the summer.
Located about 25 minutes from the park, the Contact Hôtel Lune Étoile** welcomes you to the La Pardieu district of Clermont-Ferrand.
After a day at Vulcania, relax in the comfort of one of our 45 air-conditioned rooms including family rooms and take advantage of our free private parking.
