点评:We did the accessible tour because my father is wheelchair bound. We carefully followed the instructions in the confirmation email, and were prepared to bring no bags or unnecessary items in. We arrived to the facility 20 minutes early and followed the provided directions for parking, but got lost twice due to conflicting directions (an employee gave us handwritten steps to get to the accessible parking lot which differed from the email). When we did find it, we had to drive up a curb to park. In order to get my dad down I had to take him back around a fence with the wheelchair because going off that curb would have been dangerous. Before even starting, getting to where we were supposed to be was very challenging.
We had high hopes for the largest single site brewery in the world and are not strangers to manufacturing tours. For beer alone, we've done Anheuser-Busch (in St. Louis and Williamsburg) and Heineken in Amsterdam. We'd spoken to friends who heartily recommended the Coors tour and were looking forward to it.
Our guide was great, but we were disappointed that the tour itself was mostly video screens. The one area where the tanks were visible was dark and there was a high wall which prevented a person sitting in a wheelchair from seeing over. Other than a glimpse of the ceiling in that room, my father saw no live manufacturing whatsoever. While in the hospitality lounge, the rest of the group got to see packaging, but he did not.
I don't know if the regular tour guests have greater access overall to live manufacturing, but based on the accessible tour experience, and the hassle of getting to the right place, I would not recommend it or have a need to do it again.
翻译:我们选择了无障碍游览路线,因为我的父亲需要坐轮椅。我们仔细遵循了确认邮件中的指示,也做好了不带任何包包或多余物品前去的准备。我们提前20分钟到达景点,并依照提供的指引去停车,但由于指引相互矛盾,我们迷路了两次(有一名工作人员手写了前往无障碍停车场的路线给我们,但该路线与邮件里的描述并不一致)。最终我们找到停车场后,还不得不把车开上路缘石才能停车。为了把父亲带下来,我不得不推着轮椅绕过围栏走回去,因为直接从路边走上去会很危险。甚至在开始行动之前,要到达预定位置本身就极具挑战性。
我们对这家全球规模最大的单一厂址啤酒厂寄予厚望,而且我们也不陌生于参观各类制造工厂。仅就啤酒而言,我们就参观过安海斯-布希啤酒厂(位于圣路易斯和威廉斯堡)以及阿姆斯特丹的喜力啤酒厂。我们之前询问过一些朋友,他们都极力推荐Coors的参观之旅,因此我们满怀期待地前去。
我们的导游很出色,但令我们失望的是,整个参观过程大多是通过视频屏幕来展示的。唯一能看到酿酒罐的地方光线昏暗,而且有一堵高墙挡住了视线,导致坐轮椅的人根本无法看见里面的景象。除了在那间房间里瞥见了一下天花板外,我父亲根本没有看到任何实际的酿造过程。之后我们去了接待休息室。小组里的其他人都能参观包装流程,只有他没能。
我不知道普通游客是否整体上能更多地接触实际的生产过程,但从可参与的游览体验以及前往指定地点的麻烦程度来看,我不推荐这样做,自己也不会再想去了。
