Today we found the garden something of a disappointment, perhaps its because my boys are now grown up. Maybe it’s because it looks tired in places.
The main reason is the cost. If you wanted to see the gardens and the castle it would be the best part of £50. There’s no combination ticket so for us it was one or the other. Wish we’d chosen the castle or, potentially, neither.
Cafe was also disappointing, 1:15 and virtually nothing left and what there was was past its best. It does feel like the primary goal of the place is milking the cash out of the customers, rather than quality, service and value.
Alnwick gardens have the feel of a theme park, and I don’t mean that in a derogatory way. It’s clean, well looked after and extremely professional. The gardens were immaculate today in the warm sunshine. The tour of the poison garden was interesting and informative.
My boys loved the bamboo maze and the water features - no holding back on the interactive elements. Great stuff. The design of the cherry tree walk, complete with swing chairs, is brilliant.
We also loved the crazy golf but try and time your round when it’s not too busy.

今天,我们觉得这座花园有些令人失望,或许是因为我的儿子们现在都长大了吧。也有可能是因为花园的某些地方显得有些破旧了。
最主要的原因还是费用问题。如果想要参观花园和城堡,总费用差不多要50英镑。这里没有联票,所以我们只能二选一。真希望当时我们选择了参观城堡,或者干脆两个都不去。
咖啡馆的表现也同样令人失望。1点15分左右,那里几乎什么都没剩下,剩下的东西也早已过了最佳食用期。这里给人的感觉就是:其主要目的只是从顾客身上榨取钱财,而非提供优质的服务与物有所值的体验。
奥尔尼克花园则有着主题公园的氛围——我这么说并无贬义。那里干净整洁、维护得当,且极具专业性。今日在温暖的阳光下,花园显得格外美丽。参观毒草园的环节也既有趣又增长见识。我的孩子们非常喜欢竹制迷宫和各种水景设施——互动元素的设计也相当出色。太棒了!带有秋千椅的樱花步道设计也堪称绝妙。
我们也很喜欢迷你高尔夫,不过建议挑选人少的时候去玩哦。
