点评:We arrived at HOPETOWN on a dull, cold and miserable January afternoon and were welcomed with such natural enthusiasm and joy that it got our visit off to a cracking start!
I'm not sure how to continue this review because there's so MUCH to say about it...I honestly can't believe that it is FREE, there's so much to see and do for ALL ages, accessibility is excellent, the displays are well thought out and the café is very reasonably priced.
For a dull January afternoon, we were surprised at how the museum was quietly ticking over.
I wouldn't want to come here when it was busy and packed out because some of the displays didn't have much space around them. But having said that, you could pop back to view what you'd missed.
I'm so pleased we visited. We learned a lot and thoroughly recommend this place. It is bursting with history, it is proud of its history and it really puts the start of the Stockton & Darlington railway firmly on the map. Every member of staff was genuinely happy and very welcoming.
I can't comment on parking as we arrived by train - the museum is well signposted from North Road Station, nor can I comment on the interactive £5 visitor ride.
Thank you to Hopetown for a fantastic visitor experience!
翻译:在一个阴冷潮湿的一月午后,我们抵达了霍普敦博物馆。迎接我们的是人们发自内心的热情和喜悦,让我们的参观之旅有了一个美好的开始!
我不知道该如何继续写这篇评论,因为想说的实在太多了……我简直不敢相信这里竟然是免费的!这里老少咸宜,有很多东西可以看,有很多活动可以做。无障碍设施非常完善,展品布置得也很用心,咖啡馆的价格也很合理。
在一个阴沉的一月午后,我们惊喜地发现博物馆里依然熙熙攘攘,热闹非凡。
我可不想在人多拥挤的时候来这里,因为有些展品周围空间会比较局促。不过话说回来,你可以随时回去补看之前错过的展品。
我们非常庆幸自己来了这里。我们学到了很多东西,强烈推荐这个地方。这里充满了历史气息,博物馆也为自己的悠久历史感到自豪,它真正地将斯托克顿和达灵顿铁路的起源地铭刻在了历史地图上。所有工作人员都热情友好,令人倍感亲切。
由于我们是乘火车抵达的,所以无法评价停车情况——从北路火车站到博物馆的指示牌很清晰。另外,我也无法评价那项5英镑的互动式游客体验项目。
感谢霍普敦为我们带来如此精彩的参观体验!
