点评:We went yesterday for a junior driving experience booked through Virgin Experience Days.
Parking was £2 on arrival, which felt a bit steep given there’s no alternative, but staff were helpful. Check-in was fine, although there’s a big push to upsell.
We paid extra for the spotting lap, which was a waste of money. My son was in the back with two other children who talked over him and he couldn’t see or hear over them, so I wouldn’t recommend that add-on. The online queue system was handy as we could grab a hot drink while waiting. Café prices are expensive, but that’s to be expected at places like this.
The driving itself was organised. It did get crowded around the tent area, but staff were trying to manage it. The cars looked dirty and not particularly well maintained, which was disappointing. That said, my son really enjoyed it and said his instructor was friendly and helpful, which made the experience for him.
The photo side was disappointing. After we declined the £40 video package, staff seemed uninterested. We’d pre-paid for a photo, but it wasn’t professional quality and was just emailed over — no print. Also, when entering your email address, you could see other customers’ emails from the day, which isn’t great for privacy.
Overall, my son enjoyed himself, but there’s a strong focus on selling add-ons. The £24 waiver is also pricey, and the cost adds up quickly if you choose everything.
翻译:我们昨天通过 Virgin Experience Days 预订了一次少儿驾驶体验。
停车费是 2 英镑,考虑到没有其他选择,感觉有点贵,不过工作人员很热情。办理入住手续还算顺利,虽然他们一直在推销其他项目。
我们额外付费参加了试驾圈,结果发现完全是浪费钱。我儿子坐在后排,旁边还有两个孩子,他们一直在说话,他根本看不到也听不到,所以我不推荐这个附加项目。在线排队系统很方便,我们可以在等待的时候买杯热饮。咖啡馆的价格很贵,不过在这种地方也算正常。
驾驶体验本身组织得还不错。帐篷区域周围确实有点拥挤,但工作人员也在努力维持秩序。车子看起来很脏,保养得也不太好,这有点令人失望。尽管如此,我儿子玩得很开心,他说他的教练很友好也很乐于助人,这让他觉得这次体验很棒。
拍照环节令人失望。在我们拒绝了 40 英镑的视频套餐后,工作人员似乎对此漠不关心。我们预付了照片费用,但照片质量并不专业,而且只是通过电子邮件发送过来——没有打印出来。另外,输入邮箱地址时,可以看到当天其他顾客的邮件,这很不方便保护隐私。
总的来说,我儿子玩得很开心,但这家店非常注重推销附加服务。24英镑的免责声明也很贵,如果什么都选,费用很快就会累积起来。
