Animals neat, staff absolutely terrible!
Jungle Adventures A Real Florida Animal Park的点评
点评：Recently, our small Christian school took a field trip here. We had some positive experiences, ok experiences, and terrible experiences throughout the day.
Price was pretty good for a whole day trip with lunch included. We were able to do several things, see tons of gators, hold exotic animals, get our pictures taken with them, etc. I feel like it was pretty well worth the money we paid.
The look and feel of the park is questionable at best. It definitely has an abandoned feel to it and honestly makes you question how safe many parts of it are. There is not a lot between you and some amazingly large alligators, a puma, wolf, etc. The bridges and walkways look and feel like they could give way at any moment into a huge alligator habitat, etc. Thankfully no one got hurt throughout the day, so we made it out unscathed, but I feel like that might be more of the “exception” rather than the “rule”.
The absolute worst part of the whole experience was the staff. We were a very small group as far as most school groups go. We had 23 students ranging in age from 6-17 years old and more than 10 adults. Our student to adult ratio was fantastic. Our kids are not wild, out of control, disruptive, or disrespectful. The two ladies at the door were not terribly friendly right off the bat and seemed like they didn’t really want us there. Then, our guide for most of the day started her safety talk telling us how if the kids were to run and fall and get hurt on the concrete that we would “be out of a tour guide for a full 5 minutes because she’d be too busy laughing at them.” This was probably supposed to be a joke, but not a single person in our group thought this was funny. It was just super rude. She later said basically the same thing again when she said she “cared if the animals got hurt, but if the kids got hurt, she wouldn’t care because that’s not her job to care, it’s the teacher’s job to care if the kids get hurt”. Also, not funny…. She proceeded to yell at them throughout the day. She told them to shut up at one point, instead of politely asking for their attention. As soon as the students knew she wanted them to be quiet, they were quiet immediately. There was no reason to be rude. She also accused them of breaking the rules at one point, but all the adults were right there. There was not a single rule being broken and she never mentioned what rule it was that we “weren’t following”. She even somewhat threatened that the tour would end if we couldn’t do what she said. Our students were sitting down in the animal encounter room. No animals were even out yet and when she mentioned that she would bring out a snake, several students joked that one of our teachers really wanted to hold it (that particular teacher is terrified of snakes). It was just a tease towards the teacher. No rule was being broken.
Another thing that really bothered me was how condescending she was when they asked questions she thought were “dumb” or unnecessary. She often times made them feel or look stupid if they didn’t get the answer correct or asked normal questions that children ask. Then, after getting tired of that, and our kids would get quieter, she would get cranky with them about not asking enough questions and saying our “group was boring and not fun like other groups they get.” Well let’s see, you’ve fussed at them, told them to shut up, and have repeatedly made them feel stupid. Why would they want to ask questions or engage further? Then she took them to look at several Indian tools, weapons, and items that Indians would have used daily. She would ask them over and over what the item was, what it was used for, and what it was made out of. At one point, she showed a tool. One of our students (actually one of my own sons) answered that the tool was a hoe. She got super offended and said that she didn’t appreciate him calling her a hoe. My son doesn’t even know what the slang word “hoe” is. He is being raised in a Christian home and a Christian school to be a gentleman. Maybe they are unfamiliar with the fact that a teenage boy can be a gentleman, but he certainly wasn’t calling her a hoe and that was very clear. She told him that he should have said it was a “garden hoe”. Absolutely ridiculous. 🙄😒 She asked them to identify multiple spears, knives, etc, and asked what each weapon was used for but was seemingly offended when they would answer that they were tools and weapons meant for “stabbing”. She said they took their answers “too far” and didn’t need to use the word “stab”. What was the purpose in making them answer questions about weapons then if you are uncomfortable with the correct answers? Just give a lecture and tell us the words YOU want used then. Half of her facts were incorrect anyway which made the whole thing feel really pointless.
It wasn’t just our main guide. There was a man named Ryan who took us on the boat tour. He was ridiculous. The whole time he was unprofessional and crude making South Park references, jokes about sexual consent, etc etc. Most of us couldn’t wait to get off the boat. Are these the absolute end of the world? No. But overall there was a complete lack of professionalism, any real educational value to the boat ride, and he clearly couldn’t “read the room” well that we are a Christian school and we didn’t really get or appreciate his alcoholic references, sexual references, or pop culture references. We did not see a single animal on that part of the tour. We didn’t hear anything about local history, animals, birds, local flora, etc etc. We just sat on the boat and had to listen to whatever weird thing he was saying.
One final thing that I did not think was done well and felt was a health and safety concern was hand washing. After holding a baby alligator, a snake, and a tarantula, we were supposed to go immediately to lunch. (Instead of telling our tour guide over her walkie talkie that she had with her that they were ready for us to come to lunch, they YELLED it across the park to us several times while our guide was still presenting animals to our group.) On the way out the door, she told the students to get one pump of hand sanitizer. Um…. Gross! That is not acceptable. I don’t care what kind of third rate operation this is. There needed to be at least an outdoor sink with some soap that guests can use to properly wash hands after holding exotic animals before eating lunch. That is standard practice around the country, no matter what kind of aquarium, petting zoo, park, etc that you go to. I’m ok with a place being small, rugged, and not a huge fancy operation with government funding and major donors. But a sink with soap and water is not too much to ask for.
The animals were great. The location was sub par in my opinion. But the staff were terrible. I would not recommend this place based on the staff alone. Not to mention that it looked like there were a whopping 4 people managing the entire park, and if someone got hurt or had an emergency, I am concerned that staff would not have been able to handle it. Plus, it sounds like, by their own admission, that we would have just been laughed at since it’s not their job to care if someone gets hurt. What a disaster.

翻译：最近，我们这所小型基督教学校组织了一次实地考察活动。这一整天里，我们既有愉快的体验，也有一般的经历，当然也有糟糕的体验。
对于包含午餐的一整天行程来说，价格还算合理。我们参与了多项活动，看到了很多短吻鳄，还亲手抚摸了各种珍稀动物，并和它们合影留念。我觉得所花费用还是物有所值的。
不过，这个公园的整体外观和氛围实在不敢恭维。那里给人的感觉绝对像是被遗弃了，说实话，它会让你怀疑这里的很多区域究竟有多安全。你与那些体型庞大的短吻鳄、美洲狮、狼等野生动物之间几乎没有任何阻隔。那些桥梁和步道看起来随时都可能坍塌，让人觉得下面就是短吻鳄的栖息地……所幸一整天都没人受伤，我们也毫发无损地离开了，不过我觉得这种情况恐怕只是“例外”而非“常态”吧。整个经历中最糟糕的部分就是工作人员。相对于大多数学校团体来说，我们的人数算很少的——共有23名学生，年龄从6岁到17岁不等，还有10多位成年人。学生与成人的比例相当理想。我们的孩子们既不调皮捣蛋，也不会举止失当或毫无礼貌。门口的两位女士起初并不怎么友善，看起来似乎并不希望我们留在那里。接着……我们这一天的向导在开始安全教育时说：如果孩子们在水泥地上跑着跑着摔倒受伤了，我们就会“失去导游整整5分钟，因为她会忙着嘲笑他们”。这本应是个笑话，但我们团里没一个人觉得好笑。这种行为实在极其无礼。后来她又说了几乎一模一样的话，她说自己“关心动物会不会受伤，但要是孩子们受伤了……”她根本不在乎，因为关心孩子不是她的职责，确保孩子不受伤才是老师的责任。” 这点也一点都不好笑…… 那天一整天她都在对学生们大喊大叫。有一次，她没有礼貌地请求学生们安静下来，而是直接命令他们闭嘴。学生们一明白她希望他们安静，立刻就安静了。她完全没理由这么粗鲁无礼。还有一次，她指责学生们违反了规矩，但实际上所有成年人都就在现场。没有一条规则被违反，她也从未提及我们“没有遵守”的是哪条规则。她甚至有些威胁地说，如果我们不照她说的做，游览就会终止。我们的学生们当时正坐在动物互动区里。那时还没有任何动物被带出来；当她提到要拿出一条蛇时，有几个学生开玩笑说我们的一位老师特别想摸摸它（其实那位老师非常怕蛇）。那只是对老师的一种玩笑罢了，并没有违反任何规则。
另一件让我很不爽的事是，当学生们提出她认为“愚蠢”或毫无必要的问题时，她表现得极其居高临下。如果学生答错问题，或者问出孩子们通常会问的那种普通问题，她总会让他们显得很笨拙、很傻。后来，等她对此感到厌烦了，我们的孩子也就变得越来越沉默寡言了。她会因为他们问的问题不够多而对他们发火，还说我们的“小组很无趣，不像他们参加的其他小组那样好玩”。嗯，让我们想想：你既对他们大声训斥，又让他们闭嘴，还屡次让他们觉得自己很愚蠢。在这种情况下，他们怎么可能还愿意提问或积极参与呢？之后，她带他们去观察各种印第安人使用的工具、武器以及日常用品。她一遍又一遍地问他们那些东西是什么，有什么用途。还有它是由什么制成的。中途，她展示了一件工具。我们的一个学生（其实是我自己的儿子）回答说那件工具是一把锄头。她立刻生气起来，说她很不喜欢他把自己称作“锄头”。其实我儿子根本不知道“hoe”这个俚语是什么意思。他是在基督教家庭和基督教学校中长大的，被教导要做一个绅士。也许他们并不了解，一个十几岁的男孩也可以成为绅士吧。不过他绝对没有说她是荡妇，这一点非常清楚。她跟他说，他本应该说那是把“园艺用的锄头”。简直荒谬至极。🙄😒 她让他们辨认多种长矛、刀剑等武器，还问每种武器的用途，但当对方回答说那些就是用来“刺杀”的工具和武器时，她却显得很生气。她说对方的回答“太过分”了，没必要用到“刺杀”这个词。既然你们对正确的答案感到不自在，那还让他们回答有关武器的问题目的是什么呢？干脆直接做个讲座，告诉我们你们希望使用的词汇不就行了。反正她所说的一半内容都是错误的，这让整个环节显得毫无意义。
不只是我们的主导游如此。还有个叫瑞安的男子带我们乘船游览。他简直糟糕透顶。整个过程中他都表现得极不专业且粗俗不堪，还不停地引用《南方公园》里的桥段、开关于性同意的玩笑等等。我们大多数人都迫不及待地想下船。这里真的是世界的尽头吗？并非如此。但总体而言，整个行程完全缺乏专业性，也毫无教育意义可言。显然他没能“察言观色”——我们是一所基督教学校，因此我们根本无法理解或欣赏他那些与酒精、性相关的言论，以及他对流行文化的引用。在那段游览过程中，我们连一只动物都没看到。我们也没有听到任何关于当地历史、动物或鸟类的相关介绍。当地的植物群之类的吧。我们就坐在船上，只能听他滔滔不绝地说着各种奇怪的话。
最后一点我觉得处理得不好，而且存在健康与安全隐患的，就是洗手环节。在摸过小短吻鳄、蛇和狼蛛之后，我们本应立刻去吃午饭。（然而导游并没有通过随身携带的对讲机通知我们，说我们已经准备好去吃饭了。）在我们的导游还在向我们团队介绍各种动物时，他们就在公园那头朝我们大喊了好几次。出门时，她嘱咐学生们挤一点洗手液就行。呃……真恶心！这可不行。不管这里的经营水平有多差，至少应该有个户外洗手池，配备些肥皂，让客人们在接触了那些珍稀动物后能在吃午饭前好好洗手。这在全国都是基本的标准做法啊。无论你去的是哪种水族馆、宠物动物园或公园等等。就算地方很小、设施简陋，也没有政府资助或大笔捐款支持，我都能接受。但提供带肥皂和水的洗手池其实并不过分吧。
那里的动物都很可爱。不过我认为地理位置一般。而工作人员的表现则糟糕透顶。单从工作人员的质量来看，我绝不推荐这个地方。更不用说整个公园似乎只有区区4个人在打理啊。如果有人受伤或出现紧急情况，我担心工作人员根本应付不来。而且，据他们自己承认，我们恐怕只会被嘲笑而已——因为照顾受伤的人根本不在他们的职责范围内。真是一场灾难。
