点评:If you're in the area and looking for something quirky to see we would recommend this spot. There are several dioramas with taxidermy gophers in various scenes and costumes. Our favourites were the church, chuckwagon, snowman, Hobbit, Princess Bride, and hair salon. They have an impressive gift shop with many gopher themed gifts and several of the items are made by local artists. We visited in the summer and the temperature inside was fine. A visit here will likely be short and we would recommend planning about half an hour in the museum. All the fire hydrants in the town are gopher themed and there is a tall statue of their mascot near the highway which is a short drive from the museum.
We stopped here after visiting Drumheller on our way to Red Deer. The hamlet of Torrington is about 20 minutes east of highway two and could give a quick break if you're driving between Edmonton and Calgary. There are some fun and interesting road trip stops throughout rural Alberta and this is one of you're in the area.
翻译:如果你就在附近,又想找些有趣特别的景点去看看,我们强烈推荐这个地方。这里陈列着多个立体场景模型,里面有穿着各种服饰的标本土拨鼠。我们最喜欢的场景是教堂、篷车、雪人、霍比特人、《公主新娘》场景以及美发沙龙。这里的礼品店也相当不错,出售许多以土拨鼠为主题的商品,其中不少还是当地艺术家亲手制作的。我们是在夏天去的,室内的温度也挺宜人。在这里的参观时间可能会很短,我们建议预留大约半小时来参观博物馆。镇上的所有消防栓都以地鼠为主题进行设计;在离博物馆不远的公路旁,还有一座他们吉祥物的高大雕像。
我们在前往红鹿市的途中,参观完德拉姆赫勒后顺道来到了这里。托林顿这个小村庄位于2号公路以东约20分钟车程处,要是您正在埃德蒙顿和卡尔加里之间驾车,这里是个不错的短暂休息之地。在阿尔伯塔省的乡村地区,有许多有趣又值得一逛的公路旅行目的地,如果您恰好在这一带,这里绝对是其中之一。
