点评:Wow! So much to share about this little zoo...
We we're heading up to Niagara Falls and were looking to create a destination somewhere in-between (to split up the 6 hour drive). This zoo was an interesting find, they are a small, but instead of deer and goats, they feature: elephants, polar bear, lions, leopard, sea lions, wolf, zebra, giraffe (feeding in the summer time), chimpanzee, etc. So we decided to purchase tickets and try our luck.
Well, the weather was perfect, about 68-70 (not to hot or cold) and the animals were active to say the least! The wolf was on the go almost the entire time, the lions... They just walked up to us! They even climbed onto the hood of the (stationary-prop) safari bus my kids entered, the other came towards us at the glass viewing area, it was an incredible experience! Then we were treated with a 'visit' to the animal hospital - where a wolf was sedated and being treated on the exam table, with x-rays being taken, where do you get to see this?
The polar bear was out and about - first time my kids get to see a polar bear anywhere!
The elephants were just entering their housing, but wait we got to enter too! we could literally go inside and watch them being cared for and fed cabbage, nuts and hey, by the friendly staff (who would gladly answer any questions), amazing!
The giraffes and zebras were last and they were strolling around, the sea lions can be viewed from above and below the sea. (Only the red panda was resting).
The eagle was a bonus and the active white owl was nice.
We came away from this little zoo - more from our membership at the big ol' bronx zoo... Wow! If not for the distance, we would be there again and again...
翻译:哇!这个小动物园有太多可分享的内容了……
我们当时正打算去尼亚加拉大瀑布,想在途中找个地方停留(以缓解6小时车程的疲劳)。这个动物园就是我们偶然发现的。虽然规模不大,但里面并没有鹿或山羊,而是有大象、北极熊、狮子、豹子、海狮、狼、斑马、长颈鹿(夏季时可喂食),还有黑猩猩等等。于是我们决定买票去试试运气。
天气也相当不错。气温大约在68到70度左右(不冷也不热),动物们可谓活跃至极!那只狼几乎全程都在活动;那些狮子……它们直接朝我们走过来了!它们甚至还爬上了我的孩子们所乘坐的静止状态下的观光巴士车头盖。另一只狮子则朝我们所在的玻璃观景区走来。这真是一次难以置信的体验!随后,我们还被安排参观了动物医院——在那里,一只狼被麻醉后放在检查台上接受治疗,医护人员正在给它拍X光片。在哪里能看到这些呢?
那只北极熊正在外面活动——这是我的孩子们第一次在任何地方见到北极熊!
大象们刚走进各自的栖息区,等等,我们也能进去哦!我们真的可以走进去,看着工作人员悉心照料它们,给它们喂卷心菜和坚果。那些友善的工作人员还会热心地回答我们的任何问题,真是太棒了!
最后是长颈鹿和斑马,它们正在四处漫步。至于海狮,则可以从海上或海底观赏到它们。(只有小熊猫在休息。)
那只老鹰算是意外的惊喜,那只活泼的白猫头鹰也很可爱。
我们从这个小动物园离开时——其实更多是因为我们有布朗克斯大动物园的会员资格才来的……哇!要是距离不是问题的话,我们一定会反复光顾的……
