Disneyland Paris® - Discoveryland Attractions

Discoveryland Attractions

	Arcade de Jeux Video - This is just a video game arcade, I still don't think these belong in the Parks, but who am I to argue?!

	Le Visionarium - This a great 360° cinema where you travel the world with Jules Verne and the Timekeeper, an animatronic character who narrates you through the adventure. (Use the headphones for multi-language narration including English). This an attraction where you stand all the way through - so don't think this'll be a break for your tired legs!

	Orbitron ~ 'Machines Volantes' - A kind of sci-fi " Dumbo" attraction. An uppy-downy roundy-roundy ride. Sit in your pod either alone or with a waife-like companion because the person in front sits on the legs of the person behind - you've been warned!

	Autopia - " Futuristic cars to drive" , or so the guide map says. Actually these are fun, fairly slow moving cars over which you have no steering control because the car is on a track. Still fun though, even for younger kids. This attraction is often closed in the winter, and it's worth remembering that this is an outside attraction so you're exposed to the elements whatever (I got sun-burned on this one!).

	Les Mystères du Nautilus - This is a walk-through reconstruction of Captain Nemo's submarine from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It's not particularly exciting, but if there's no line, it's OK. There a quite a few steps into and out of the attraction. If there is a line, it's outside with no shade from the sun or the rain, so take care.

	Space Mountain - De la Terre à la Lune (Mont de l'Espace) - Well, what can be said about the best Disney attraction in the world? Get the low down by clicking on the info icon to the right. Whether you click or not, remember that you cannot visit Disneyland Paris and miss this attraction. If you have to wait in line for 90 minutes - do it! Go on, click on that icon!

	Videopolis - This is a huge inside stage/café area where some of the parks' greatest stage shows take place. The show at the moment is " Disney Classics: The Music and The Magic" . Try not to miss it. For more information about the show, follow the " Shows & Parades" link, either from here or from the Disneyland Paris Main Page on this site. Videopolis has Café Hyperion, a counter service burger restaurant, so you can eat while you watch. Time you lunch to coincide with show time, but get there about 45 minutes early for the best seats (if you're eating, the seats with tables at stage left are the best, but there's plenty of room further away). If you're not eating, you can sit down in the auditorium for a great view.

	Star Tours - " High-action space adventure from Disney and George Lucas" says the map and the map doesn't lie. Other than being in French, it's no different to the other Star Tours attractions in the the other parks. A high speed simulated space warp. Very highly recommended, as are the computer games (refreshingly not in an arcade style) in L'Astroport services Interstallaires which you'll walk through as you exit the attraction.

	SHOPS Constellations - Disney character toys and clothes. Star Traders - Sci-fi themed goodies however, the shop is becoming less and less themed and will no doubt soon be just like all the other shops.

	Restaurants & Refreshments Buzz Lightyear's Pizza Planet Restaurant - Pizzas and pizza burgers. Hyperion/Videopolis - Burgers and salads, counter service with plenty of seating and a great show if you've timed it right!
