点评:I visited with my husband and sister-in-law during the Easter holidays. We're all keen photographers and wanted to capture some of the plants and animals that can be seen at the park.
Initially, prior to visiting, I have to admit that the reviews/other people's comments worried me. So much so, that I messaged Plantasia on Facebook to check that this was actually something adults could enjoy visiting (friends/colleagues/other reviews slated it as boring, not enough there, only for little kids, only "5 minutes worth of seeing things"). Having had a lovely, informative response from the front desk (they gave tips such as stopping to wait for animals to come out, going around multiple times, and going off-peak to beat crowds), I was ready to form my own opinions of Plantasia.
In short, I loved every second of my visit.
The animals are well cared for, the plants are gorgeous, and the environment feels like stepping into a faraway country. I actually like how small the place is as it allows you to fully enjoy it without tediously walking miles between exhibits like other parks and museums - each corner you turn, there's something new to see.
In my opinion, this place is best enjoyed with older children or adults - especially those with an interest in plants and animals or, like us, photography. I can see how little ones might prefer something like Folly Farm where there's a funfair, etc., but they're two very different places so you can't compare apples to oranges. Plantasia is an amazing place if you enjoy what it has to offer.
The entry price was very fair, all staff were very friendly, and, while not applicable to us, I'd say the park is decently accessible.
翻译:复活节假期期间,我和丈夫、嫂子一起去了Plantasia。我们都是摄影爱好者,想拍一些园内动植物的照片。
说实话,去之前,我看了些评论,有点担心。甚至还特意在Facebook上给Plantasia发了消息,确认这里是否真的适合成年人游玩(朋友、同事和其他评论都说这里很无聊,没什么可看的,只适合小孩子,而且“只能看五分钟”)。前台回复得非常热情,也很有见地(他们给了我一些建议,比如停下来等动物出来,多逛几圈,以及避开高峰期去人少),我这才敢自己去Plantasia看看。
总之,我非常享受这次游览。
动物们都得到了很好的照顾,植物也美极了,整个环境仿佛置身于一个遥远的国度。我其实很喜欢这里小巧精致的规模,这样你就能尽情享受,而不用像其他公园和博物馆那样在展品之间来回奔波——每个转角都有新的发现。
在我看来,这里最适合和年龄稍大的孩子或成年人一起游玩——尤其是那些对动植物感兴趣的人,或者像我们一样热爱摄影的人。我能理解小孩子可能更喜欢像弗利农场那样有游乐场之类的地方,但这两个地方截然不同,不能直接比较。如果你喜欢植物园的特色,那它绝对是一个很棒的地方。
门票价格非常合理,所有工作人员都非常友好,而且虽然我们没去过,但我认为公园的无障碍设施还算不错。
