点评:Meow Wolf is an out-of-this-world, one-of-a-kind immersive experience like none other. The imaginative, bold artistry is a refreshingly unique, self-directed experience that can easily take 2-3 hours inside. The admission fee is not cheap, but neither is the richness of the atmosphere or experience. I just wish I could say that you get what you pay for: the crowds are simply too much. For years, people have been leaving TripAdvisor reviews that Meow Wolf Grapevine lets too many people in for each gated entry time, and I'm yet another on that pile. Clearly, the venue is aware they are erring too much on the side of dollars-per-hour vs. protecting the artistic integrity of the experience, but the reality is even going mid-week, you are going to have a lot of surprises and discovery spoiled because you'll see others doing them too. A family was sitting at the computer for nearly an hour in the dining room to solve the mystery - and I don't blame them at all for doing so - but it meant no one else got the chance. The house was so crowded that the kitchen became a bottleneck for the whole venue.
I have been both to Santa Fe and Grapevine, and while there are similarities, both have some unique elements. However, you would be better served saving up your dollars and time for Santa Fe, because Grapevine is simply too crowded to enjoy to its intended extent.
翻译:Meow Wolf 是一场超凡脱俗、独一无二的沉浸式体验,绝无仅有。其充满想象力、大胆创新的艺术风格,带来耳目一新的独特体验,完全可以自主探索,轻松消磨 2-3 小时。门票价格不菲,但其氛围和体验的丰富性也同样物有所值。我真希望自己能说“一分钱一分货”:人实在太多了。多年来,TripAdvisor 上不断有人抱怨 Meow Wolf Grapevine 在每个开放时段都放了太多人进去,而我也是其中之一。显然,场馆方面也意识到,他们过于注重每小时的收益,而忽略了对艺术体验完整性的保护。但现实是,即使是在工作日去,你也会因为看到其他人也在做同样的事情而错过许多惊喜和发现。一家人在餐厅的电脑前坐了将近一个小时来解谜——我完全理解他们的用心——但这也就意味着其他人没有机会参与。房子里人太多了,厨房成了整个活动的瓶颈。
我去过圣达菲和格雷普韦恩,虽然它们有一些相似之处,但也各有特色。不过,你最好还是把时间和金钱省下来去圣达菲,因为格雷普韦恩实在太拥挤,根本无法尽情享受它的魅力。
