点评:It was our first time visiting and the staff were very friendly and it seemed very organised on arrival.
Sadly, this is where the positives end for us. We had booked a 5pm slot and as soon as we got into the gardens we were shepherded into fairly narrow walkways with a number of other families. This ended up being a continuous walking pace where stopping to take pictures was near impossible. There were even people struggling to get through the crowds on mobility scooters and I found this first part rushed due to having a pram and not being able to stop as there were many people behind me.
There are no interactive light displays and I would say only 2 areas are engaging for children - both of which were very busy. There’s a light performer who is juggling with lights, but the crowd was so big that we couldn’t really see, so moved on. Then there are the light swings. My little girl did enjoy these but we queued for around 15/20 mins for her to have a 3 minute swing on them.
I felt food was very expensive - £5 for one stick of 3 marshmallows to toast (makes it expensive for families) and the toasting stations were extremely crowded meaning it was hard to safely let children have a go anyway. £3.50/£4 for a small slice of pizza depending on what you order and again around a 10 min queue for that too.
All in all, we were left underwhelmed and will deffo be doing the Heaton Park event next year as this was so much better and costs were a lot more reasonable.
翻译:这是我们第一次来,工作人员非常友好,到达时感觉一切都井然有序。
可惜的是,我们觉得好的地方也就到此为止了。我们预订的是下午5点的场次,一进花园就被引导到相当狭窄的步道上,和其他一些家庭挤在一起。结果就是只能不停地走,几乎不可能停下来拍照。甚至有人推着电动代步车艰难地穿过人群,而我因为推着婴儿车,后面人太多,根本停不下来,感觉这段时间非常匆忙。
这里没有互动灯光秀,我觉得只有两个地方比较适合孩子玩——而且这两个地方都非常拥挤。有一个灯光表演者在玩杂耍,但是人太多了,我们根本看不清,只好离开了。还有一个灯光秋千。我的小女儿很喜欢,但是我们排了大约15到20分钟的队,她才荡了3分钟。
我觉得食物非常贵——一串三颗棉花糖烤一下就要5英镑(对家庭来说太贵了),而且烤棉花糖的地方人山人海,根本没法安全地让孩子们尝试。一小片披萨要3.5英镑到4英镑,具体价格取决于你点的是什么,而且也要排队大约10分钟。
总而言之,我们非常失望,明年肯定会去希顿公园参加活动,那里的体验好得多,价格也合理得多。
