点评:Great new experience in Sarasota! West of UTC Mall, along 75 Interstate.
You must Reserve in advance. I would recommend the Behind the scenes Scientific
Tour! Brad was our Guide for the tour, had 8 in our group. Went behind the scenes in the Lab and preparation areas, was very informative. Start at the Third level (Manatees) and work your way down. They check bags, but you can hide some snacks and drink boxes. The snack bar has an impressive selection and reasonably priced.
Penguins always my favorite with the Otters. Great display of the Founder and it's History. We went on a Friday, but still busy. Parking is a short walk away. Third level also has walkout on roof, where you can overlook towards Mall area (need sunglasses)
Plan on about 3 hours, could be more if you stop and do the Virtual tour and interactive exhibits. Seemed like the younger kids really enjoyed it.
Would go back with our next out of town visitors. Very clean, well lit and accessible.
Great place for a Party or Wedding.
翻译:在萨拉索塔的全新体验非常棒!位于UTC购物中心西侧,沿75号州际公路。
必须提前预订。我推荐幕后科学之旅!
我们的导游是布拉德,我们一行8人。我们参观了实验室和准备区,内容非常丰富。从三楼(海牛展区)开始,逐层参观。他们会检查包,但你可以藏一些零食和饮料盒。小吃吧种类繁多,价格合理。
企鹅和水獭一直是我最喜欢的。这里还展示了创始人及其历史,非常棒。我们周五去的,但仍然很热闹。停车场离这里很近,步行即可到达。三楼还有一个可以通往屋顶的出口,在那里可以俯瞰购物中心区域(记得戴太阳镜)。
预计参观时间约为3小时,如果停留参观虚拟导览和互动展览,可能需要更长时间。看起来小朋友们玩得很开心。
下次有外地朋友来访,我们还会带他们来。这里非常干净、光线充足,而且交通便利。
举办派对或婚礼的绝佳场所。
