点评:We went to the 6:30 pm Christmas Candlelight Tour on 12/12/2025. Upon entering check in at a separate building, one of us went to a man at the desk and asked if this was where you check in. His reply - NAME and nothing else. No mention that they were serving hot chocolate and hot toddies, nor have a seat with the rest of the 23 attendees. I felt like I had just entered a funeral parlor due to the atmosphere created by the volunteers. A guide took us to the hall and we were advised to be careful on the icy steps which you could barely see them as there was no outside lighting. We entered a large dark entry room with only a few candles burning. You could barely see the furnishing and it was so cold that you could see your own breath. You were taken to approximately 6 rooms all on the same floor and all had minimal candle lighting. The furnishings might have been lovely but your vision was limited by the darkness and you could not make out details due to the lack of adequate lighting. When we left the building, the guide who had a flashlight did not even shine it on the icy steps so we would not fall when we left the building. The entire visit was bittersweet and it did not fully deliver any holiday warmth. Save yourselves the $28.52 - tax included for each adult attending.
翻译:我们参加了2025年12月12日晚上6:30的圣诞烛光之旅。进入后,我们被安排在另一栋楼办理登记手续。其中一人走到前台,问他这里是不是登记处。他的回答只有“姓名”,没有其他任何信息。他既没有提到会提供热巧克力和热饮,也没有安排我们和其他23位参与者一起入座。志愿者营造的气氛让我感觉像是走进了殡仪馆。一位导游带我们来到大厅,提醒我们小心结冰的台阶,因为没有室外照明,几乎看不清台阶。我们进入了一个昏暗的大门厅,里面只有几根蜡烛在燃烧。家具几乎看不清,冷得能呼出自己的气息。之后,我们参观了大约六个房间,都在同一层,每个房间都只有微弱的烛光。家具或许很漂亮,但由于光线昏暗,视线受限,根本看不清细节。离开大楼时,导游明明拿着手电筒,却连冰冷的台阶都没照一下,生怕我们滑倒。整个参观体验令人五味杂陈,丝毫没有感受到节日的温馨。建议大家省下每位成人28.52美元(含税)的费用。
