点评:The 'self-guided tour' for $9 was a big rip-off. You read a few posters in the Visitor Center, viewed a running video, then took a look at a room with many plants. walked yourself outside the building where you viewed the building roof. Then you walked across a muddy area to a large, unlabeled building. We had no idea what it was other than the sign that basically said keep out - private. There were multiple signs, all saying do not enter, private - in other words, you were not even allowed to walk around and view the Earthship community. Felt very unfriendly; considering the $9 tour, it was sorta ridiculous. I get that they are private homes, but I live in a community as well. There are no signs telling people to keep out. I learned nothing from this experience or the tour. The entire tour took 15 minutes, and that was stretching it.
There's also a $22 guided tour but based on my personal experience, I would recommend against any tour of the Earthship area.
翻译:那个售价9美元的“自助导览”简直就是坑人。你只能阅读游客中心里的几张宣传海报,观看一段循环播放的视频,然后参观一个摆满植物的房间。接着你独自走到大楼外,看看建筑的屋顶。再之后要穿过一片泥泞地带,才能到达一座没有任何标识的大楼。除了那些写着“闲人免进——私人领地”的牌子外,我们完全不知道那是什么地方。到处都是此类“禁止入内、私人专用”的警示牌——换句话说,根本不让进。甚至不允许我们四处走走、参观一下Earthship社区。给人的感觉非常不友好;考虑到收费9美元的游览费用,这简直荒谬至极。我明白那些都是私人住宅,但我自己也住在社区里。可那儿并没有任何禁止入内的标识。这次体验和游览让我一无所获。整个游览过程只用了15分钟,这都已经算是拖长啦。
另外还有一个收费22美元的导览服务,不过根据我的亲身经历……我不建议参加任何关于地球船区域的游览。
