点评:What a fab experience. We are a family of 6 (4 teenagers) we are all animal lovers but the older teens are “kinda over zoos now mum” well Wild Florida proved them wrong. The Airboat tour was a great way to kick off the day. Captain Alex was great and we were lucky enough to see a mum Alligator and about 15 of her babies just hanging out around their nest. We saw turtles too and plenty of beautiful birds. The boat is loud and fast and brilliant because it has minimum impact on the wildlife but engaged the teens and they loved the up close nature of viewing the local wildlife. We were then planning on heading off back up to Orlando for an afternoon in the theme parks but were all soooo glad we didn’t rush off but went for a wander round the conservation park. What a great set up; this isn’t a zoo and isn’t all shiny and zoo like it’s rough and ready but with the animals at the heart of what the team are doing. Pete and his team were exceptional. The talks and engagement program was excellent. Informative, not too long but so interesting and you can see the affection the whole team has for the animals. Take your bug spray you are out in the Everglades but the lovely A/C’d gift shop has drinks and snacks to keep your own beasties and I know there’s a cafe on site too but we didn’t use it this time. We’ve done a week touring Florida, Miami the Keys and are now on our second week up in the theme parks but as our holiday ends all of us have said the Gators and Wild Florida was a holiday highlight!
翻译:真是一次棒极了的体验!我们是一家六口人(有四个青少年),我们都很喜欢动物。不过那些大一点的孩子总说:“妈妈,我们现在有点厌倦动物园了。”而Wild Florida则让他们改变了想法。气垫船之旅是开启这一天的绝佳方式。船长亚历克斯非常出色,我们很幸运地看到一只母短吻鳄和大约15只小鳄鱼就在巢穴附近嬉戏。我们还看到了海龟以及大量美丽的鸟类。这艘船噪音小、速度快且性能出色——它对野生动物的影响极小。孩子们被它深深吸引,他们喜欢这种能近距离观察当地野生动物的体验。原本我们计划下午返回奥兰多去游乐园游玩,但我们都很庆幸自己没有急于出发,而是先在生态保护公园里漫步了一番。布置得真棒!这里并非普通的动物园,也没有那种光鲜亮丽的“动物园风格”——这里一切都很质朴自然,而动物们则是团队工作的核心。皮特和他的团队表现卓越。讲座和互动环节也相当出色:内容翔实、时长适中且妙趣横生,从中能深切感受到整个团队对动物的深厚关爱之情。记得带上驱虫剂,因为您会进入大沼泽地。不过那里有个带空调的礼品店,里面有饮料和零食,能帮您驱赶蚊虫。我还知道园区里也有一家咖啡馆,不过这次我们没有去。我们已经花了一周时间游览佛罗里达州、迈阿密和基韦斯特群岛,现在正进入第二周,准备参观各大主题公园。不过在假期即将结束时,我们所有人都一致认为:与鳄鱼的亲密接触以及游览“狂野佛罗里达”才是这次度假最难忘的亮点!
