点评:Visited Starscapes Observatory during our December Coorg trip. We stayed at Taj Madikeri, just 10 minutes away, and surprisingly none of the hotel staff had even heard of this place, which in hindsight felt like a RED FLAG. However, we decided to go ahead and visit using Google Maps. The entry fee is ₹1000 per person, which I personally felt was quite steep. We were a family of four with two children, and what was disappointing is that even our 9-year-old child was charged the full adult price, making it ₹4000 in total.
The highlight was spotting Saturn through the telescope, though it was barely visible, appearing more like a small dot. Once the staff realized we had limited knowledge of space, the session felt rushed, it became quite evident that they were trying to wrap things up quickly as if they were keen to finish quickly.
Overall, this experience is not for everyone. If you already have strong knowledge of astronomy, you may enjoy it. Otherwise, it feels like a costly time pass, especially for families.
翻译:去年十二月去库格旅行时,我们去了星空天文台(Starscapes Observatory)。我们住在离天文台只有十分钟车程的泰姬玛迪凯里酒店(Taj Madikeri),令人惊讶的是,酒店员工竟然都没听说过这个地方,现在想想,这简直是个危险信号。不过,我们还是决定用谷歌地图去看看。门票是每人1000卢比,我觉得有点贵。我们一家四口,有两个孩子,更让人失望的是,就连我们9岁的孩子也被收了成人票,总共花了4000卢比。
亮点是通过望远镜看到了土星,虽然它几乎看不见,看起来就像一个小点。工作人员发现我们对太空知识有限后,讲解就显得很匆忙,他们似乎急着结束,想尽快结束。
总的来说,这次体验并不适合所有人。如果你已经对天文学有相当的了解,或许会喜欢。否则,这感觉就像是一种代价高昂的消遣,尤其对于家庭来说更是如此。
