点评:We visited Hayes Garden Centre Saturday 20th December for the Santa experience, which we have done in previous years and absolutely loved. Sadly, this year was a real disappointment.
In the past, the experience has felt magical, well organised and genuinely worth the money. Unfortunately, that was not the case this time. The maze leading to Santa was very short and extremely busy, which meant our children did not really get the chance to enjoy or take part in the activities properly. Everything felt rushed and far less interactive than before.
The biggest let-down was the Santa experience itself. Santa was portrayed by a very young person with an American accent and did not resemble or embody the traditional Santa at all. Our children actually came out laughing because it felt so unrealistic, which completely broke the magic. This was especially upsetting as we have always trusted and praised the Hayes Santa experience in previous years.
Given the cost, we expected the same high-quality, immersive experience we have enjoyed before, but instead left feeling that our time and money had been wasted. It is genuinely disappointing to be writing this, as Hayes has always been somewhere we have happily recommended to others.
Sadly, this year’s Santa experience did not meet expectations at all.
翻译:12月20日星期六,我们去了海耶斯花园中心体验圣诞老人活动。我们往年都参加过,非常喜欢。可惜的是,今年的体验却令人大失所望。
以往,这里的圣诞老人体验充满魔力,组织得井井有条,物超所值。但这次却截然不同。通往圣诞老人的迷宫很短,而且人山人海,孩子们根本没有机会好好享受或参与各种活动。一切都显得匆匆忙忙,互动性也远不如以往。
最令人失望的是圣诞老人本身。扮演圣诞老人的是一位操着美国口音的年轻人,完全不像传统的圣诞老人。孩子们出来的时候都笑了,因为感觉太不真实了,彻底破坏了之前的氛围。这尤其令人沮丧,因为我们一直以来都非常信任和赞赏海耶斯花园中心的圣诞老人体验。
考虑到价格,我们原本期待的是像往年一样高质量、沉浸式的体验,结果却感觉时间和金钱都白费了。写下这些文字着实令人失望,因为海耶斯一直是我们乐于向他人推荐的地方。
遗憾的是,今年的圣诞老人体验完全没有达到预期。
