点评:The Mystery Spot is quite interesting. They made a “destination” out of a house that is positioned, sloped on a hill. That said, the “destination” they made it into is quite impressive. Tucked in a redwood forest just outside of Sant Cruz, the Mystery Spot locale includes a large venue from which to spend time at. There’s a sizeable gift shop with all the knickknacks you’d expect, a large snack bar, a covered/spacious seating area that includes plenty of entertainment for the kids, and hiking trails for exploring the forest.
The main event, is a guided tour of the “Mystery Spot”. I think the tour costs about $10 and lasts 45 minutes. The tour is fun, corny, repetitive, and highly choreographed. It was definitely enjoyable. The highlight is the slanted house itself. The oddities of it were fun and interesting.
Just to be clear, my 10 year old daughter loved this place. In fact, she thought it was the highlight of out Santa Cruz weekend trip and would do it again in a heartbeat. Myself, it was cute and fun, I’m glad I went, but wouldn’t have the need to return.
HOT TIP: Download a “level” or “leveling” ap onto your phone. You can use it to verify the slope and positioning of various surfaces during the tour.
翻译:神秘景点(Mystery Spot)真是个有趣的地方。他们把一栋建在山坡上的房子打造成了一个“景点”。不过话说回来,这个“景点”确实令人印象深刻。它位于圣克鲁斯郊外的一片红杉林中,拥有一个宽敞的休闲场所。这里有一家规模可观的礼品店,出售各种小玩意儿;一个大型小吃吧;一个带顶棚的宽敞休息区,里面有很多适合孩子们的娱乐设施;还有可以探索森林的徒步小径。
主要的活动是参加“神秘景点”的导览游。我记得导览游大约10美元,时长45分钟。整个导览游虽然有点老套,内容也略显重复,但编排得非常用心。总的来说,体验还不错。亮点在于那栋倾斜的房子本身。它的奇特之处令人着迷。
需要说明的是,我10岁的女儿非常喜欢这个地方。事实上,她觉得这是我们圣克鲁斯周末之旅的亮点,而且她肯定会毫不犹豫地再去一次。至于我,我觉得挺可爱也挺好玩的,很高兴去了,但应该不会再去了。
小贴士:在手机上下载一个“水平仪”或“水平测量”应用程序。你可以用它来检查游览过程中各种表面的坡度和位置。
