点评:The A'DAM Lockout itself is not particularly impressive. It simply isn't tall enough to compete with some of the truly iconic observation towers and skyscrapers you can visit elsewhere in Europe, even if it is considered tall by Amsterdam standards.
That said, the overall experience is great fun. Everything from taking the little ferry across the water to exploring this modern part of the city offers a refreshing contrast to traditional Amsterdam.
Admission is fairly expensive, but the entire process of entering the building, taking the elevator, and emerging onto the rooftop observation deck feels like a very similar miniature to the experience at Rockefeller Center in New York. 🙂 Fortunately, A'DAM pulls it off quite successfully. The whole experience is stylish, entertaining, and professionally managed.
The staff are welcoming, courteous, and efficient throughout.
At the top of the tower, visitors can ride the enormous swing that extends out over the edge of the building with the ground far, far below. I had never seen anything quite like it before, so it certainly felt unique and exciting. I can easily imagine that many people absolutely love the adrenaline rush, although I personally have no intention of doing it again! 🙂
Four people can ride the swing at the same time, and it definitely provides a memorable thrill. The swing requires a separate ticket in addition to the tower admission fee.
Safety appeared to be excellent, but I still found dangling high above the city quite a challenge. The staff operating the swing take photos during the ride, and these can be downloaded to your phone afterward at no additional cost, which is a nice touch.
There is also a rooftop snack bar. However, the prices are absolutely outrageous.
Overall, I'm giving A'DAM Tower 4 stars, largely because of the swing and the complete experience surrounding it. Without the swing, it would probably be a 3-star attraction for me. The views are nice, but it's the unique rooftop experience that makes the visit worthwhile.
翻译:A'DAM观景台本身其实并不算特别引人注目。即便以阿姆斯特丹的标准来看它也算高楼了,但其高度仍不足以与欧洲其他地区的那些极具标志性的观景塔楼及摩天大楼相媲美。
不过,整体的游览体验还是非常有趣的。从乘坐小型渡轮横渡水面,到探索这座城市现代化的区域,这一切都给传统的阿姆斯特丹带来了截然不同的新鲜体验。
入场费用则相当昂贵。不过,从进入大楼、乘坐电梯,再到登上屋顶观景台的整个过程,给人的感觉就像是纽约洛克菲勒中心体验的一个微型版。 🙂 幸运的是,A'DAM很好地实现了这一点。整个体验既时尚又有趣,管理也十分专业。
整个过程中的工作人员都热情周到、彬彬有礼且高效利落。
在塔楼的顶端,游客可以乘坐那个巨大的秋千——它从大楼边缘伸出,下方则是遥不可及的地面。我以前从未见过类似的东西,因此它确实给人一种独特又刺激的感觉。我不难想象,很多人一定会迷上这种肾上腺素飙升的体验;不过就我个人而言,可没打算再试一次啦! 🙂
这个秋千一次可容纳四人乘坐,绝对能带来难忘的刺激体验。要体验这个秋千项目,除了支付塔楼入场费外,还需另购门票。
安全性似乎毫无问题,但我仍觉得悬在城市上空实在是一项不小的挑战。负责操作秋千的工作人员会在游玩过程中拍照,之后可以免费将这些照片下载到手机上,这一服务相当贴心。
塔楼顶部还有一个小吃吧,不过价格贵得离谱。
总体而言,我给A'DAM塔楼4颗星的评价。主要是因为那个秋千以及整个相关的体验过程。如果没有那个秋千,对我而言这里大概只能算是个三星级景点吧。虽然景色不错,但正是这种独特的屋顶体验让这次参观变得值得。
