点评:My family visited Paignton Zoo for the first time while staying in the area for a week. The weather was decent and there were lots of amazing animals to see, most of them in large spacious enclosures. There was a lot of construction work happening, which was a bit noisy but I'm sure it's to improve the zoo and bring in new animals (but maybe some signage explaining what is happening would help).
We spoke to a few members of staff and they were all really helpful, but I must mention a young man named Jason because we missed the tiger talk but he offered to do it again for us and then he walked with us for a while acting like our own private tour guide. My autistic son had lots of questions, but Jason was able to answer them all and he even went into the history of the zoo which my son was interested in (he'd seen it on a kids TV show before).
So a great family day out, and hopefully we'll be back in the future when some of the construction work has been completed.
翻译:我们一家人在佩恩顿附近住了一周,第一次去了佩恩顿动物园。天气不错,看到了很多令人惊叹的动物,大部分都生活在宽敞的大笼舍里。动物园里有很多施工,有点吵,但我相信是为了改善动物园环境,引进新的动物(不过如果能有一些说明施工情况的指示牌就更好了)。
我们和几位工作人员聊了聊,他们都很热情友好。我特别要提一下一位名叫杰森的年轻人,因为我们错过了老虎讲解,但他主动提出再给我们讲一遍,之后还陪我们走了一段路,就像我们的私人导游一样。我患有自闭症的儿子问了很多问题,杰森都一一解答了,甚至还给我们讲了动物园的历史,我儿子对此很感兴趣(他之前在儿童电视节目里看过)。
总之,这是一次很棒的家庭出游,希望以后等一些施工完工后,我们还能再来。
