点评:After several weeks of experiencing the Canadian Winter it was a delight to spend a day indoors pretending it was Summer.
We spent a while weighing up whether we would visit at all - taking an uber from downtown Quebec cost nearly C$70 and taking a taxi back was more expensive still (not to mention the wait) - and then we weren’t sure whether we should try the winter playground or the water park. Visiting the water park was definitely the right decision.
Visiting the water park during a weekday was perfect for us (two adults and a ten-year-old). We were able to try every ride with minimal wait times in the four hours we were there, and did several laps of the lazy river, floating around together as a family. The group rides (two two-person tube slides and one for 3-6 people) were my favourites, and I had much more fun than I expected bodyboarding on the Flowrider (the instructor there was fantastic, though the attendant near the kiosks for signing the waiver was not).
Our meal in the cafe above the water park was fine. We were expecting ridiculous prices and inedible food, and it exceeded our low expectations. The cafe staff were great.
While I understand it’s presumptuous of us to visit when we don’t speak French, the only downside to our experience was that a couple of the staff became borderline hostile when we were having difficulty communicating.
翻译:经历了几周的加拿大冬季后,在室内度过一天假装现在是夏季是一件很愉快的事。
我们花了一段时间权衡是否要来参观——从魁北克市中心乘坐优步要花费近 70 加元,而乘坐出租车回来则更贵(更不用说等待了)——然后我们不确定是否应该参观尝试一下冬季游乐场或水上乐园。参观水上乐园绝对是正确的决定。
在工作日参观水上公园对我们(两个成年人和一个十岁的孩子)来说是完美的。在我们在那里的四个小时内,我们能够以最短的等待时间尝试每项游乐设施,并在漂流河上绕了几圈,一家人一起漂流。团体游乐设施(两个两人管滑梯和一个 3-6 人滑梯)是我的最爱,在 Flowrider 上进行趴板冲浪比我想象的要有趣得多(那里的教练很棒,尽管在售票亭附近签名的服务员豁免不是)。
我们在水上公园上方的咖啡馆吃的饭还不错。我们原本期待荒谬的价格和不可食用的食物,但它超出了我们的低预期。咖啡馆的工作人员很棒。
虽然我知道当我们不会说法语时去参观是很自以为是的,但我们经历的唯一缺点是,当我们沟通困难时,一些工作人员变得近乎敌对。
