点评:We came and did the Dig It experience and the thunder egg prospecting.
Dig It was fantastic, our son had so much fun driving the diggers and trying the different activities. They were well set up and the staff were helpful too.
I would suggest that the RC area needs some raised seating around it so smaller children can get a better view of the area as all of us were getting stuck constantly on obstacles that were hard to navigate from such a low angle. Having fine gravel or a generally easier floor to get around would help too.
The prospecting was a bit of a bust, after 2 hours we’d not found anything worth cutting and I ended up buying a thunder egg for the sake of having something to take home. It wasn’t helped by my son being given a tool with two blunt points on it where most kids were given one with a blade on one side and a point on the other. It was like trying to dig with a hammer and he quickly got tired so I had to do a lot of digging to help him.
I think I would recommend that children under 8 should probably stick to the crystal panning unless they’re a serious rock hound. I certainly wished we’d done that instead.
The cafe food was good, more or less the same price as you’d pay at any other attraction. Which is to say expensive but you can always bring your own.
It’s clear a lot of work has gone into the place and it’s definitely worth a visit.
翻译:我们体验了“Dig It”活动以及雷公蛋勘探项目。
“Dig It”活动棒极了!我们的儿子开着挖掘机、参与各项活动,玩得乐不可支。场地布置得很好,工作人员也非常乐于助人。
不过我觉得遥控车体验区周围需要增设一些高些的座位,这样年纪较小的孩子就能更清楚地看到活动区域。因为我们所有人从低角度观察时,都频频被各种障碍物挡住视线,很难看清周围情况。铺上细砾石或者让地面更平整一些也会有帮助。
这次勘探算是毫无收获:两个小时后我们仍没找到任何值得切割的矿石,最后为了能带点东西回家,我只好买了一个雷公蛋。更糟糕的是,其他孩子拿到的工具都是一侧有刀刃、另一侧有尖头的那种,而我的儿子拿到的工具两端却都是钝头。这就好比用锤子来挖土,他很快就累了,所以我不得不帮他挖很多。
我觉得,8岁以下的孩子最好还是只玩淘水晶的游戏,除非他们是真正的岩石爱好者。我当时真希望我们选择了这种活动。
咖啡馆里的食物不错,价格也和其他景点相差无几。也就是说挺贵的,不过你也可以自带食物。显然,这个地方倾注了大量心血,绝对值得一游。
