点评:Mid. We visited the science center on a weekday, so it was not crowded. Pros: super cool that the two films were included in admission. cons: well, the sheer number of items there that were broken was staggering. In addition, broken items had no signage to indicate that it was broken, so you’d waste time trying it out. The staff are friendly, but they look pretty tired and bored themselves. The film had no one letting you know when to enter, so we took seats about 10 mins prior to the listed start time, and then waited about 14 mins past the listed start time for it to start :(
The Ocean Xperience was OK… much would have been improved with some direction from the staff as it was not very clear what to do and when.
The most disappointing however was the Subaru Engineered Under the hood exhibit. The website says:
1. Get up close and personal with a real boxer engine to see how the parts move and work together.
Reality: a model engine in a plastic case that no one can touch or interact with does NOT result in “seeing how the parts move and work together”
2. Test your engineering skills with wooden Subaru model cars and a test track. How fast can your car zoom?
Reality: This sounds like something an 11 year old might like right? Wrong. The model cars are like the chonky block cars daycare kids play with. What “engineering skills” are they referencing?
3. How vehicles are designed and assembled, and discover the latest and safest new technology!
Reality: Again, the only learning was a video playing on loop that was barely audible because the race track the wood block toddler toy cars went onto was deafeningly loud.
The place had potential and some of the exhibits on 2nd floor were fun, but the misleading advertising of what people are going to has got to go.
翻译:中。我们在工作日参观了科学中心,所以并不拥挤。优点:这两部电影都包含在入场券中,这太酷了。缺点:嗯,那里损坏的物品数量惊人。此外,损坏的物品没有任何标志表明它已损坏,因此您会浪费时间去尝试。工作人员很友好,但他们看起来很累而且很无聊。电影没有人告诉你什么时候进入,所以我们在列出的开始时间之前大约 10 分钟入座,然后在列出的开始时间之后等待大约 14 分钟才开始:(
海洋体验还不错……如果工作人员的一些指导的话,会有很多改进,因为不太清楚该做什么以及何时做。
然而,最令人失望的是斯巴鲁引擎盖下的工程展览。该网站说:
1. 近距离接触真正的水平对置发动机,了解各个部件如何移动和协同工作。
现实:塑料外壳中的模型引擎,任何人都无法触摸或互动,不会导致“看到零件如何移动和协同工作”
2. 使用木制斯巴鲁模型车和测试跑道测试您的工程技能。你的车能变焦多快?
现实:这听起来像是 11 岁孩子可能会喜欢的东西,对吧?错误的。这些模型车就像日托孩子们玩的厚实的积木车。他们指的是哪些“工程技能”?
3.车辆如何设计和组装,发现最新最安全的新技术!
现实:再次,唯一的学习是循环播放的视频,几乎听不见,因为木块幼儿玩具车所行驶的赛道声音震耳欲聋。
这个地方很有潜力,二楼的一些展品很有趣,但关于人们要去的地方的误导性广告必须取消。
