点评:I don’t normally review as I feel guilty for the businesses but this time I had to.
Hobbledown was one of the most disappointing days out we can remember.
It was completely rammed (fair enough with school hols) but so much was closed - exhibits and eateries! We barely saw a single animal. There were some very muddy ponies and goat. The pond had litter in it.
Hand washing area by goat was filthy!
The toilets were for tiny people (did I miss something?)
I couldn’t work out where anything was. There weren’t signs for specific animals and no print out maps.
The entrance wasn’t welcoming.
I saw one very muddy zookeeper.
There isn’t really much tailored for pre-schoolers. I was shocked at the tunnels under the big play ground. There were also chains across areas that children could cross - my son got his chin caught trying to move from a climbing tower to a balance beam.
He’s 3.5yo, tall for his age and very confident. However he struggled to access the play areas.
The soft play was impossible to get into and very dirty.
I think on a beautiful spring off peak day this would be much better.
Sad times.

霍布当动物园是我们记忆中最令人失望的一次游玩经历。
动物园里人山人海(考虑到是学校假期,这倒也情有可原),但很多地方都关门了——展览馆和餐馆!我们几乎没看到任何动物。一些小马和山羊浑身泥泞。池塘里还有垃圾。
山羊旁边的洗手区脏得要命!
厕所是给小孩子用的(我错过了什么吗?)
我完全找不到地方。没有动物指示牌,也没有打印地图。
入口处一点也不友好。
我看到一个浑身泥泞的饲养员。
这里几乎没有适合学龄前儿童的设施。大型游乐场下面的隧道让我大吃一惊。孩子们可以穿过的区域还架着铁链——我儿子试图从攀爬塔爬到平衡木上时,下巴被铁链卡住了。
他三岁半,个子比同龄孩子高,而且非常自信。然而,他却很难进入游乐区。
软垫游乐区根本进不去,而且非常脏。
我想,如果是在阳光明媚的春日非高峰期,情况会好得多。
真是令人遗憾。
