Bonnet House Museum and Gardens的点评
点评:We visited the Bonnet House in February and we thoroughly enjoyed our Guided Tour! We have visited Fort Lauderdale many times and have always put off visiting this property which we now know, should have been placed much higher on our priority list of things to do! We highly recommend taking the "guided" tour; for a small increase in cost and a bit of an earlier start time, you benefit from a more intimate setting with very limited number of guests, it is held before the gates open to the "self-guided" general public, and the guide who we were privileged to have (sorry we didn't retain his name), was so extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the property and the history of the land and owners that he made the tour extremely interesting and educational to boot. The only disappointment (besides wishing we had visited years ago) is that, due to our own time constraints, we couldn't linger after the tour to return to the numerous rooms of interest (which were many) and take additional time to wander about the beautiful property .. as the guide graciously invited us to do. We will absolutely return to refresh our memory on the amazing history and the impressive impact the original owners had on Fort Lauderdale's development and retention of the areas key green spaces. And weather permitting, we will plan on giving ourselves more time to wander about the beautiful grounds surrounding the house. What a gem (hidden in plain sight so to speak) for Fort Lauderdale. In our opinion, the guided tour is certainly underpriced for the education and enjoyment you will most certainly experience.
翻译:我们二月份参观了邦尼特庄园,非常享受这次导览之旅!我们去过劳德代尔堡很多次,却一直没机会参观这座庄园,现在才知道,它应该在我们旅行清单上的优先级更高才对!我们强烈推荐参加导览游;只需多花一点钱,提前一点出发,就能享受到更加私密的氛围,而且游客人数非常有限。导览游是在庄园对公众开放自助参观之前进行的。我们有幸遇到的导游(很遗憾我们没记住他的名字)知识渊博,对庄园、土地的历史以及庄园主人都充满热情,他让整个参观过程既有趣又富有教育意义。唯一的遗憾(除了后悔没早几年来之外)是,由于时间有限,我们没能在参观结束后像导游热情邀请的那样,再去参观那些众多有趣的房间,也没能花更多时间在美丽的庄园里漫步。我们一定会再来,重温这段精彩的历史,以及最初的主人对劳德代尔堡发展和保护当地重要绿地所做出的卓越贡献。如果天气允许,我们计划多花些时间漫步于环绕房屋的美丽庭院。对于劳德代尔堡来说,这真是一颗璀璨的明珠(可谓是“近在咫尺的瑰宝”)。我们认为,考虑到您将获得的知识和乐趣,这次导览游的价格绝对物超所值。
