Dazzling Critter Displays
Insectropolis, the Bugseum of New Jersey的点评
点评:Insectropolis was well worth the drive for the visit. While the entire venue is not big by any means (the exhibits are built around a single loop), the displays, show, and super friendly staff make Insectropolis the perfect place to go on a rainy day (entirely indoors).
There are over two dozen terrariums with live insects which was pretty neat, but it was the expertly curated displays that stole the show in our opinion.
Upon careful reflection, the size of the venue is big relatively to the millions of insects they have on display; it is not a human world that the insects live in, but rather an insect world that we live in here at Insectropolis, and the venue does a great job at demonstrating that.
The displays are magnificent and does a great job at showing the immense variety and variations of insect species found in the world. I have no other words really to explain these displays but to just recommend that you all go see it for yourselves.
We arrived just as the show kicked off which was perfect. The show provided great information on insects as well as the presentation of live insects which guests can interact with on a limited basis (mainly petting with two fingers). In a way, the show almost served to lead us into the walking exhibits.
While Insectropolis is definitely great for kids, experiences will vary. We have 5 and 2 year old girls that breezed through the entire venue in less than half an hour and was bored. No fault or blame being placed, but it just so happened that their interest was not with the bugs during this time in their lives.
翻译:Insectropolis 非常值得一游。虽然整个场地无论如何都不大(展品围绕一个环路建造),但展览、表演和超级友好的工作人员使 Insectropolis 成为下雨天(完全在室内)的完美去处。
有超过两打带有活昆虫的玻璃容器,非常整洁,但在我们看来,正是专业策划的展示出尽了风头。
仔细一想,相对于他们展示的几百万只昆虫来说,这个场地的规模还是很大的;昆虫生活的不是人类世界,而是我们生活在 Insectropolis 的昆虫世界,这个场地在展示这一点方面做得很好。
这些展示非常壮观,并且在展示世界上发现的昆虫种类的巨大多样性和变异方面做得很好。我没有其他词可以真正解释这些显示,只是建议大家自己去看看。
我们刚好在演出开始时到达,这非常完美。该节目提供了有关昆虫的重要信息以及活体昆虫的展示,客人可以在有限的基础上与之互动(主要是用两根手指抚摸)。在某种程度上,该节目几乎起到了引导我们进入步行展览的作用。
虽然 Insectropolis 绝对适合孩子们,但体验会有所不同。我们有 5 岁和 2 岁的女孩,她们在不到半小时的时间内轻松地穿过了整个场地,感到很无聊。没有过错或责备,但碰巧他们的兴趣不是他们生命中这段时间的错误。
