点评:We were really excited about visiting this museum. Opening hours state 10am to 3pm. We arrived at 2.40pm to find the place being closed and when we queried this due to the advertised opening hours, we were told we didn't have enough time to visit. We would have been happy to shorten our visit time to accommodate the caretaker but were not even given any option for this.
This is really ANNOYING as we have travelled extensively and found that all attractions stay open until the advertised closing time, the staff staying until the last visitors have completed their visit. Some places advertise "last admittance time" if wanting to close by a certain time. Really disappointed in the attitude as we were wanting to spend money around Whyalla as the town has been having a hard time of late. The attendant didn't even try to talk to us but just kept walking away carrying the open signs. Would think twice about attending this museum which is a pity as it looked quite interesting. We are going to refer this to the Tourist Information Office in Whyalla as I think there should be some thought given on how to handle opening hours for tourist attractions.
翻译:我们非常期待参观这家博物馆。开放时间是上午10点到下午3点。我们下午2点40分到达时,发现博物馆已经关门了。我们根据宣传的开放时间询问,却被告知时间不够。我们本来想缩短参观时间以方便管理员,但他们甚至没有提供任何选项。
这真是太烦人了,因为我们去过很多地方,发现所有景点都会开放到宣传的闭馆时间,工作人员会一直待到最后一位游客参观完毕。有些地方会宣传“最后入场时间”,如果想在特定时间关门的话。我们对这种态度真的很失望,因为我们本来想在怀阿拉附近消费,因为最近怀阿拉镇不太景气。工作人员甚至都没跟我们说话,只是拿着“开放”的牌子走开了。这个博物馆看起来挺有意思的,可惜了,以后再去参观会更划算。我们将把此事提交给怀阿拉的旅游信息办公室,因为我认为应该考虑如何处理旅游景点的开放时间。
