点评:We have had a few trips to Halls Gap Zoo over the past couple of years while visiting Halls Gap and it has fast become our families favorite zoo destination.
We have experienced a few amazing animal encounters with hours spent wandering the grounds and seeing all the animals.
Last week was our daughters 10th birthday, and her request, a trip to Halls Gap with family and friends and another visit to Halls Gap Zoo.
For something a little different we chose to treat her to one of the new twilight tours and it was absolutely amazing. Interacting with the animals after dark, getting to feed and cuddle with wombats, dingos and deer, fantastic knowledgable zookeepers with lots of information to guide us through a VIP tour just for us and to top the night off with a fire with roasted marshmallows.
Im not sure how to choose just one best moment of our tour.
The epic roaring fire and roasted marshmallows at the end, the cuddling of animals (that alone is worth the cost of this experience in my opinion), walking around the zoo in the dark waiting to see what might be around the next corner (we did have little red torches to guide the way), waiting silently for the Tassie Devil to take its snack and suddenly the zookeeper gets slapped in the face by a moth breaking the silence into fits of uncontrolled laughter.
It was a perfect blend gorgeous animals, fantastic zookeepers who obviously love there animals and jobs, a relaxing experience full of fun and laughter all while making sure safety for both animals and visitors was of high importance.
One of the best zoo tours we have ever experienced and we are looking forward to our next visit.
Do yourself a favor and book a twilight tour.
翻译:过去几年,我们每次去霍尔斯盖普(Halls Gap)都会去霍尔斯盖普动物园(Halls Gap Zoo),它很快就成了我们全家最喜欢的动物园。
我们曾多次与动物亲密接触,在园内漫步数小时,观赏各种各样的动物。
上周是我们女儿的十岁生日,她提出想和家人朋友一起去霍尔斯盖普,再去一次霍尔斯盖普动物园。
为了给她一些特别的体验,我们选择带她参加新推出的黄昏之旅,结果真是太棒了!夜幕降临后,我们与动物们互动,喂食并拥抱袋熊、澳洲野犬和鹿,知识渊博的饲养员们热情地为我们讲解,为我们安排了一次专属的VIP之旅,最后还围坐在篝火旁烤棉花糖,为这趟旅程画上了完美的句号。
我不知道该如何从这次旅行中选出一个最美好的瞬间。
最后,熊熊燃烧的篝火和烤棉花糖令人难忘;与动物亲密接触(在我看来,光这一点就值回票价了);在夜色中漫步动物园,期待着下一个转角会遇到什么(我们带了红色小火把照明);静静地等待塔斯马尼亚恶魔享用它的点心,突然,一只飞蛾扑向饲养员的脸,打破了寂静,大家爆发出阵阵爆笑。
这是一次完美的体验:美丽的动物、热爱动物和工作的出色饲养员,以及轻松愉快的氛围,同时,他们也高度重视动物和游客的安全。
这是我们体验过的最棒的动物园之旅之一,我们期待着下次再来。
强烈推荐您预订一次黄昏之旅。
