点评:Cost is way too steep for the aquarium and butterfly house.
I love that it’s cheaper for people on UC. It makes a bit more accessible for all. However, the prices for the butterfly house is ridiculously high for what would be a 10/15 min walk around before it gets too hot to stay in any longer or your 3 year old that you paid £6.50 for wants to leave. I genuinely don’t understand the prices. Or why gift aid cost the customer more.
The butterfly house itself has a buggy park right outside. Then a small entrance with a shop. Staff re very friendly. It’s small but butterflies are amazing and they have a lot, incl a lot of species. It can be a bit crowded at times but not overly.
Same with the Aquarium. The prices are less steep but for what it is, the size of it and how cramped it can get. It’s not worth it. (Please do bear in mind, I am from Hull and we go to The Deep as a family every week with our annual tickets. My comparisons may be abit unfair).
The parks and grounds are great. Didn’t get around the museum or animal enclosure this time round but will be back for those.
Potentially just the free stuff and a picnic is the way to go as the cafe is extortionate too. Would not do the butterfly house or aquarium again though unless you can get UC prices.
翻译:水族馆和蝴蝶馆的票价实在高得离谱。
我很欣赏对UC卡持有者有价格优惠这一点,这确实让更多人都能负担得起。不过,蝴蝶馆的票价实在高得离谱——游客大概只需要花10到15分钟就能逛完,之后就会因为天气太热而待不下去;或者你花6.50英镑带进去的3岁孩子也会吵着要离开。我真的搞不懂这样的定价逻辑。也不明白为什么使用礼品援助计划反而会让顾客支付更多费用。
蝴蝶馆外面还有一个婴儿车停放区。入口处有个小商店。工作人员非常友善。虽然地方不大,但里面的蝴蝶种类丰富得令人惊叹,有好多不同的品种。有时候人会有点多,但也不算太拥挤。
水族馆的情况也类似。虽然门票价格不算贵,但考虑到其规模以及时常拥挤的状况,其实并不值得一去。(请记住,我来自赫尔,我们一家人每周都会凭年票去“The Deep”水族馆。所以我的比较可能有点不太公平吧。)公园和绿地真的很不错。这次没来得及参观博物馆或动物饲养区,不过以后一定会再去的。
或许只享受免费项目并野餐才是最划算的选择,因为咖啡馆的价格也贵得离谱。不过,除非能买到UC优惠价,否则我不会再去蝴蝶馆或水族馆了。
