点评:We came to Oklahoma City to stay at Okana Resort Waterpark Resort, and researched things to do in the area. This museum popped up and of course I wanted to go because I ride horses.
The museum blew me away! I also absolutely love American history, and the museum was loaded with it. It would take days to absorb everything this museum has to offer. The sheer number of relics and artifacts was incredible covering a vast array of topics under the umbrella of Western Heritage. There is a huge emphasis on art too, and a massive collection. There is also a large emphasis on Native American history, artifacts, art, etc. which far exceeded what is at the First Americans Museum. Many of the exhibits are walk-through types of things with a ton of detail and theming built around them to enhance the experience (such as the western town). I'm sure my favorite part of the museum would have been the Rodeo section, but it was closed for renovation. The outdoor areas are pristine and beautiful.
Technology: The museum provides many ways to learn. The signs are well-done and enjoyable to read, but here are also auditory exhibits and higher tech automated activities with touch screens. The immersive experience was so cool and well worth it. There are several hands-on learning stations for smaller kids.
Staff were so professional, courteous, informative, and enthusiastic. You would think they are working for tips, the way they thoughtfully offer assistance and information.
The gift shop was well done. I'm not even a big shopper and would normally never buy from a gift shop, but I found a really cute sweater and my daughter got a cowboy hat which she needs for showing her horse. She would have wanted a belt and buckle too but I cut her off.
翻译:我们来到俄克拉荷马城,入住奥卡纳水上乐园度假村 (Okana Resort Waterpark Resort),并搜索了周边的一些景点。这家博物馆赫然出现在搜索结果中,我当然想去看看,因为我热爱骑马。
这家博物馆让我叹为观止!我本人也对美国历史情有独钟,而这家博物馆恰恰囊括了丰富的美国历史。要完全了解这里的一切,恐怕需要好几天的时间。馆藏的文物和文物数量之多令人难以置信,涵盖了西部遗产的方方面面。博物馆也十分注重艺术,藏品数量庞大。此外,博物馆还着重展示美洲原住民的历史、文物、艺术等等,其规模远超第一美洲人博物馆 (First Americans Museum)。许多展品都是步入式的,细节丰富,主题鲜明,旨在提升参观体验(例如西部小镇)。我原本最想去的地方应该是牛仔竞技表演区,可惜当时正在翻修,暂时关闭了。博物馆的户外区域风景优美,令人心旷神怡。
科技:博物馆提供了多种学习方式。指示牌设计精美,读起来也很有意思。这里还有语音导览和配备触摸屏的高科技自动化互动体验。沉浸式体验非常棒,绝对物超所值。这里还有几个适合小朋友的动手学习站。
工作人员非常专业、礼貌、热情,而且知识渊博。他们如此周到地提供帮助和信息,你会觉得他们是靠小费吃饭的。
礼品店也很不错。我平时不太爱逛街,通常也不会在礼品店买东西,但这次我找到了一件非常可爱的毛衣,我女儿还买了一顶牛仔帽,她参加马术比赛需要用到。她还想要一条皮带和皮带扣,但我阻止了她。
