点评:When I was young, I went to Tropiquaria and really enjoyed it. Our initial play for the day had been to take my two year old daughter to Dunster Castle. On the way, we passed Tropiquaria and one very busy Cartle car park convinced us to turn back and go a few miles the other way. She had a great time. The zoo is small, but the animals are looked after and well cared for. There are plenty of play areas for children. The cafe food was functional but affordable and, to be honest, anybody who comes to somewhere like that expecting fine dining isn't really playing the game.
It is a little run down, but that's because money is going into conservation and not into window dressing- the main propose of any zoo. The staff were passionate and knowledgeable, we really enjoyed our day and we would happily go back again.
翻译:我小时候去过热带动物园(Tropiquaria),非常喜欢。那天我们原本计划带两岁的女儿去邓斯特城堡(Dunster Castle)。途中我们经过热带动物园,但一个非常拥挤的Cartle停车场让我们决定掉头,往另一个方向走几英里。女儿玩得很开心。动物园虽然不大,但动物们都得到了很好的照顾。园内有很多儿童游乐区。咖啡厅的食物虽然简单,但价格实惠。说实话,如果有人指望在这种地方吃到精致美食,那他/她就有点不适应了。
动物园的设施确实有些陈旧,但这是因为资金都投入到了动物保护上,而不是用于装点门面——这才是动物园的主要目的。工作人员热情友好,知识渊博,我们玩得很开心,以后肯定还会再去。
