点评:When I booked tickets for my friend and I for the event Sips, Souls & Strolls: Architecture and Architects, I had no idea what a treat we'd be in for! The event was well organized, with knowledgeable volunteer guides, friendly attendees, and lots of historical information. Despite the tour focus being on famous architects and architecture, we passed by other famous mausoleums such as numerous Anheuser and Busch structures, as well as the famous Lemp family. The beverages and snacks available were not the focal point, so if you go hungry, you'll probably leave hungry (at least for this event), but strolling amongst the beauty of the place was truly the highlight. The cemetery is huge (314 acres with 14 miles of road), so if you're getting an Uber pick up/drop off, be very specific with directions and tip well! It's very easy to get lost there. Another fun is that the cemetery is actually also a Level II arboretum, with efforts at flora conservation and species diversification of trees and plants. It provides habitat for small mammals and lots of birds, so it's a fauna haven as well. Whether you go on a self-guided tour (map highly recommended) or an event, you won't be disappointed!
翻译:当我为我和我的朋友预订“小酌、灵魂与漫步:建筑与建筑师”活动的门票时,我不知道我们会享受到怎样的享受!这次活动组织得很好,有知识渊博的志愿者导游、友好的与会者和大量的历史信息。尽管游览的重点是著名的建筑师和建筑,我们还是经过了其他著名的陵墓,例如众多的安海斯和布希建筑,以及著名的伦普家族。提供的饮料和小吃不是重点,所以如果你饿了,你可能会饿着肚子离开(至少在这次活动中),但在这个地方的美景中漫步确实是亮点。墓地很大(占地 314 英亩,道路长达 14 英里),因此,如果您乘坐 Uber 接送服务,请务必明确说明方向并给足小费!那里很容易迷路。另一个有趣的是,墓地实际上也是一个二级植物园,致力于植物区系的保护和树木和植物的物种多样化。它为小型哺乳动物和大量鸟类提供了栖息地,因此也是动物群的天堂。无论您是参加自助游(强烈推荐地图)还是参加活动,您都不会失望!
