点评:We visited Shepreth Wildlife Park today and, overall, we had a nice day, but if I'm completely honest, we did come away feeling a little underwhelmed.
We particularly enjoyed the Nocturnal House, which was definitely the highlight of our visit. My four-year-old absolutely loves bats, so seeing them flying around was incredibly exciting for him. One even flew very close over his head, which understandably caused a little scream of excitement!
I do appreciate that bats are sensitive to noise and that visitors need to be mindful of this. However, I did feel a little uncomfortable with how this was addressed. He's only four years old and was simply overwhelmed with excitement. He also has additional needs, so sometimes his reactions are not something he can easily control. I completely understand the need to protect the animals, but I would have appreciated a little more understanding in the situation.
Unfortunately, outside of the Nocturnal House, we felt there wasn't a huge variety of animals to see, and some of the enclosures appeared quite small for the animals they housed.
The café was another disappointment. There was a limited choice of food, it was quite crowded, and with only one café facility available, it felt rather busy and lacked enough space for visitors.
I don't want this review to take away from the positives, as we did enjoy parts of our visit, particularly the bats. However, considering the overall admission cost, we personally didn't feel there was quite enough to see and do to make it feel like good value for money.
A lovely little wildlife park in some ways, but unfortunately, we left feeling that the experience could have offered a little more.
翻译:今天我们去了谢普雷斯野生动物园,总体来说度过了一段愉快的时光。不过说实话,我们离开时还是觉得有些失望。
我们特别喜欢夜间动物馆,那绝对是我们此行的最大亮点。我四岁的儿子特别喜欢蝙蝠,看到它们在空中飞翔让他兴奋不已。有一只蝙蝠甚至飞得离他的头顶很近,这自然引发了他一阵兴奋的尖叫!我确实理解蝙蝠对噪音很敏感,游客们也应当注意这一点。不过,对于处理此事的方式我还是觉得有些不妥。他才四岁而已,当时只是兴奋得无法自控。他还有一些特殊需求,所以有时他的反应确实不是他能轻易控制的。我完全理解保护这些动物的必要性,但如果当时能得到多一些的理解,我会心存感激的。
可惜啊。在夜间动物馆之外,我们觉得能看到的动物种类并不多,而且有些饲养区对于所饲养的动物来说显得相当狭小。
咖啡馆也令人失望。可选择的食品种类有限,店内十分拥挤;由于只有一家咖啡馆可供使用,整个环境显得十分嘈杂,也没有足够的空间供游客休息。
我并不希望这条评论抹杀掉这里的优点,因为我们确实很喜欢这次参观体验,尤其是观看蝙蝠的环节。不过……从整体的入场费用来看,我们个人觉得园内可看可玩的内容还算不够,性价比不算高。
从某种意义上说,这是一个很不错的小型野生动物园,但遗憾的是,离开时我们还是觉得这个体验本可以更加丰富一些。
