点评:I have been going to Zoo Tampa (formerly Lowry Park Zoo) since I was young and have always enjoyed my visits, now I bring my daughter every .time we go to Florida. A visit to Zoo Tampa is not that expensive as visiting other attractions in Florida, the admission fee is reasonable, and you get your money's worth spending the day. The zoo can get crowded, especially after being features in a Disney Plus special for a few seasons, so if you are looking for less people, get their early on a weekday during the school year.
Zoo Tampa has a great collection of animals from all over the world as well as local animals from Florida, The Africa section is large and has a safari ride, which is awesome for a zoo it's size to operate. The Wallaby Station has been renovated, and feature animals from Australia with a fun atmosphere. The Florida section has a bunch of native species such as, black bears, alligators, and Florida panthers. At the far end there is an manatee recovery center, where the zoo helps rehabilitate manatees injured in the wild. The Asian Domain, though small has it's good share of animals, Indian rhino, tiger, etc.
The best is interacting with the staff they have a passion for the animals in their care. They are always smiling, answering questions, and concerns on the animals.
I can continue to highlight Zoo Tampa but it's best that you make a trip yourself, a great place to go when the beaches are too crowded, or need something the kids will enjoy.
翻译:我从小就经常去坦帕动物园(以前叫洛瑞公园动物园),每次去都玩得很开心。现在每次去佛罗里达,我都会带女儿一起去。坦帕动物园的门票价格并不像佛罗里达其他景点那么贵,很合理,而且玩上一天绝对物超所值。动物园人很多,尤其是在迪士尼+的几季特别节目播出之后,所以如果想避开人潮,最好在学年期间的平日早点去。
坦帕动物园汇集了来自世界各地的动物,以及佛罗里达本地的动物。非洲展区很大,还有野生动物园之旅,对于一个规模如此小的动物园来说,这真是太棒了。袋鼠站也翻新过了,里面展示着来自澳大利亚的动物,气氛轻松愉快。佛罗里达展区则有很多本地物种,比如黑熊、鳄鱼和佛罗里达美洲狮。动物园最远端设有海牛康复中心,动物园在那里帮助救助在野外受伤的海牛。亚洲馆虽然面积不大,但动物种类丰富,包括印度犀牛、老虎等等。最棒的是能和工作人员互动,他们对照顾的动物充满热情。他们总是面带微笑,耐心解答关于动物的各种问题和疑虑。
我可以继续推荐坦帕动物园,但最好还是亲自去体验一下。当海滩人太多,或者需要找个孩子们喜欢的地方时,这里绝对是个好去处。
