点评:We visited Count Orlocks in Salem, MA on a Sunday the week before Halloween. Salem was BUSY! On the train over, I noticed that there were tickets still available and our teens love horror flicks & villains so, we decided to do this first upon arrival. It’s right on Main Street & easy to find. Regardless of having tickets booked for a specific time, we still had to wait in line for other customers to leave so, the timed-entry tickets were a little inaccurate but we had a nice convo with James while we waited! The wax characters were all really well done & cover a range of classic & modern horror movies. Not sure if I missed this on the website but, we couldn’t take any photos which was a major bummer. I’ve been in wax museums before that are really interactive with props & photos ops. This was different. Definite “look but don’t touch” vibes, there were staff sitting with the wax figures watching & signs up scolding about taking pictures. I understand wanting to keep the experience a secret but, the experience for us was really lacking because we were limited to only look. Took us about 20 minutes to get through the whole experience & then we spent about 30 minutes in the super fun gift shop taking pictures & checking out the merch. I felt the cost for 20 minutes was comparable to other things we could do in Salem but, this would have been a 5 star experience if there had been more photo ops. 👻👺🧟
翻译:万圣节前一周的周日,我们前往马萨诸塞州塞勒姆的奥洛克伯爵馆参观。当时塞勒姆人头攒动!坐火车前往的过程中,我发现门票仍有剩余,而我们的孩子们特别喜欢恐怖电影和反派角色,于是我们决定抵达后立刻去参观。地点就在主街上,很容易找到。虽然我们提前预订了特定时间的门票,但还是得排队等候其他游客离开后才能进入。虽然定时入场券上的时间信息有点不准,但在等待期间我们和James聊得很开心!那些蜡像制作得相当精良,涵盖了各类经典与现代恐怖电影中的角色。我不确定是不是自己没在网站上看到相关说明,但这里不允许拍照,这真的挺扫兴的。我以前去过不少蜡像馆,那些地方通常都配有各种道具和拍照区,互动性很强。而这家则截然不同——绝对是那种“只能看,不能碰”的氛围。有工作人员坐在蜡像旁边看着,还立着告示牌训斥不许拍照。我理解他们想保留体验的神秘感,但对我们来说这次体验实在很乏味,因为我们只能干看着而已。我们花了大约20分钟才走完整个展区,之后又在那个超级有趣的纪念品商店里呆了30分钟左右,拍照并挑选商品。我觉得花20分钟来体验这个项目,其花费和我们能在塞勒姆做的其他事情相比也算相当了,不过……如果能有更多拍照的机会,这绝对会是一次五星级的体验。👻👺🧟
