点评:I visited the Aquarium recently with two kids so booked two mermaid makeovers for both of them. Initially itself I found the fee for the same to be costly which is ₹1199 + kids entry fee of ₹449 which makes it ₹1648 just for one kid. However the actual shock was still awaiting for us. The amount of ₹1199 included mermaid makeover, 1 physical photograph and 15 soft copies of pictures taken by them. During the entire time we were not allowed to take any photographs on our own. Now after the huge tiring and time consuming activity when we went to the counter for the photos we were been told we will get 15 pictures taken only inside the cramped and shaby makeup room and the main photoshoot which was done at the studio has to purchased separately. I would take this as a total scam by the authority as giving those stupid makeup room dsnt make any sense. When I refused to take those as the part of the offer they told thats how it is and to get the actual photo session pictures we need to pay ₹650 additionally. Thats not a small amount and misleading parents to spend ₹2298 for a kids photoshoot of 10 mins is totally be considered as a scam. Also no such details were mentioned anywhere in the online ticket. Even I spoke to some parents who were purchasing on the spot ticket and they also were not informed about this while purchasing ticket across the counter.
Please note during the entire process we waited for more than 2 hours 15 mins the procedure of makeover was not at all systematic and though the makeup actually takes 15 mins per kid but due to mis-management we had to wait excessively longer.
Additionally the over hyped mermaid show was pretty average and it was just an eight minutes show...
Over all we totally felt cheated and over-hyped place.
翻译:我最近带着两个孩子去了水族馆,给他们俩都预订了美人鱼化妆服务。一开始我就觉得价格有点贵,1199卢比成人费加上449卢比儿童门票,一个孩子就要1648卢比。然而,更让人震惊的还在后面。1199卢比的费用包含美人鱼化妆、一张实体照片和15张由他们拍摄的电子版照片。整个过程中,我们都被禁止自行拍照。耗费了我们大量时间和精力后,当我们去柜台取照片时,却被告知只能在狭小简陋的化妆间里拍15张照片,在摄影棚里拍摄的正式照片需要另行购买。我觉得这完全是水族馆的骗局,提供这么简陋的化妆间简直毫无意义。当我拒绝接受这些作为套餐的一部分时,他们却说就是这样,如果想要拍摄正式的儿童写真,还需要额外支付650卢比。这可不是一笔小数目,误导家长花费2298卢比只为10分钟的儿童写真,这完全就是诈骗。而且,在线购票页面上根本没有提到这些。我还和一些现场购票的家长交流过,他们也被告知了这一点。
请注意,整个过程中我们等了超过2小时15分钟。化妆流程毫无章法,虽然每个孩子化妆只需要15分钟,但由于管理不善,我们不得不等待更长时间。
此外,被过度宣传的美人鱼表演也相当平庸,只有短短的8分钟……
总而言之,我们感觉被骗了,这个地方名不副实。
