点评:Far too expensive. Having anyone over the age of 13 pay almost £30 is outrageous. The staff were nowhere to be seen after admission, no map provided or offered, no advice given on any accessibility given one person in the party was walking with a cane.
Some nice looking exhibits, and seeing the pelicans was pretty cool but most things were very average. No touch pools, just standard viewing pools. The travelator round the shark tunnel wasnt working and while that didnt bother us there were another family complaining about it.
Thought the nature reserve out the back would be nice to see, its a short loop which was good, but there was no info to tell you how long it would be so we were wary. There were signs for ducks etc but where the water clearly used to be was completely dried over and there was litter galore so no hope for wildlife. As we walked back to the car through the carpark we saw a rat, a squirrel and a pigeon, far more nature than what we saw on the nature walk. There is a small playback out back and while our child was too old now for it I cam see families with young children would enjoy it. It looked nice and safe from the quick glance I gave it. For almost £90 for a family of three including parking (we were told to keep the ticket on the dash as we left and the camera would pick it up - the barrier was up from entering the carpark to leaving it and there is no camera) its just not good value. We spent about an hour and that included stops to the toilet and a quick seating break.
翻译:价格贵得离谱。要求13岁以上的人支付近30英镑实在不可理喻。入场后根本见不到工作人员,既没有提供地图,也没人给予任何指引;考虑到我们一行人中有人拄着拐杖,理应提供无障碍设施方面的信息,但同样毫无着落。
虽然有一些外观不错的展品,能看到鹈鹕也挺有趣的,但大部分内容都相当普通。没有可供触摸的水池,只有普通的观赏池而已。环绕鲨鱼隧道的自动人行道坏了,虽然这并没有影响到我们,但有其他家庭对此表示不满。
我们原以为后面的自然保护区会值得一逛,那里有一条很短的环形步道,倒也不错;不过没有任何指示牌说明步道的长度,所以我们有些顾虑。虽然有关于鸭子等动物的标识牌,但原本应该有水的地方现在完全干涸了,到处都是垃圾,看来野生动物几乎没什么生存机会了。当我们穿过停车场走回车旁时,看到了一只老鼠、一只松鼠和一只鸽子——这些自然景象可比我们在自然徒步之旅中看到的要多得多。停车场后面有个小型游乐区;虽然我们的孩子现在年纪太大不适合去玩了,但我能想象带着幼童的家庭一定会乐在其中。我匆匆看了一眼,觉得那里环境不错且很安全。三个人一家人的费用接近90英镑,还包含了停车费(工作人员让我们离开时把停车票留在仪表盘上,说摄像头会拍到——但实际上从进入停车场到离开,栏杆始终是升起的,而且根本没有摄像头)。这样的性价比实在不高。我们在那里待了大约一小时,这时间里还包括了上厕所和短暂休息的时间。
