点评:We were looking forward to checking out this science museum and purchasing three Adventure Combo tickets for admission plus an IMAX movie. However, when we got to the door, a sign stated they were unexpectedly closed due to a power outage. They had also posted the closure message on their website. It was a good thing we didn't buy tickets in advance, since we live out of state and were leaving the area the next day.
I had researched this place beforehand and found out about a 25% parking discount. To get it you have to: 1) park your vehicle in the parking deck at 220 W. 6th St. and save the parking receipt, 2) go to the admissions deck to receive a 25% off coupon sticker for your receipt, and 3) apply the discount when exiting the parking deck. Parking would have been $18 with the 25% discount. They lost out on that money from me, but I paid NOTHING because they were closed. Since we were parked for such a short amount of time, there was no charge.
The museum also missed out on $93.14 from my family. They received not a single penny from us because they were CLOSED at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday when we arrived. What a shame, as I spent my money elsewhere instead. For anyone interested, the 10 best science museums in the U.S. are:

翻译:我们原本很期待能参观这座科学博物馆,还打算购买三张“冒险套票”,以便同时观看影片和体验IMAX电影。然而,当我们到达门口时,看到告示牌上写着由于停电,博物馆临时闭馆。他们的网站上也发布了同样的闭馆通知。所幸我们没有提前购票,因为我们住在其他州,第二天就要离开这个地区了。我事先做过调查,得知这里有25%的停车折扣。要享受该折扣需遵循以下步骤:1)把车停在位于西6街220号的停车场,并保存好停车收据;2)前往接待处,领取一张可抵扣25%费用的优惠券贴纸并贴在收据上;3)离开停车场时使用该折扣。享受折扣后,停车费只需18美元。虽然他们因此少收了我一笔钱,但由于接待处当时关门了,我最终一分钱都没付。由于我们停车的时间非常短,所以没有产生任何费用。
这家博物馆也错失了从我家那里获得93.14美元的机会。我们到达时,博物馆于周二下午2点就已关门,因此我们一分钱都没付给它们。真是可惜,因为我把钱花在了别的地方。对于感兴趣的读者,以下是美国十大最佳科学博物馆:
