点评:AAP is amazing. It’s not huge, and there are no steep hills, so it’s actually fairly good for people with limited mobility. It’s easily walkable in a couple of hours, even with lots of stops to feed the animals. Mornings seem to be a little better in terms of animal activity, although I’m sure that varies depending on the day and time of year.
I did all three animal encounters — capybara, sloth, and rhino — split over two days, and highly recommend doing at least one if you can. I think it would be tough to fit all three into a single day and still have plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the parks. I thought the sloths would be my favorite, but I think the rhino encounter may have edged them out. It’s not often you get to be up close and personal with such a powerful and magnificent animal. Tank is a total sweetheart and really seems to enjoy the interaction.
The capybaras and tapir were great too. The capys are so full of personality and incredibly friendly. And not that I didn’t love the sloths — they are hilarious and adorable. I honestly don’t regret doing a single one of the encounters, and each was a very different experience.
But even if an encounter isn’t within your budget, there are plenty of opportunities to interact with the animals throughout the park. You can purchase feed and get surprisingly close to many of them, which makes AAP feel much more interactive than a typical zoo.
I also highly recommend adding The Preserve drive-through safari to your visit. It’s a completely different experience from the main park and gives you another chance to see and interact with the animals from your own vehicle. The drive is a three-mile loop and is very steep in some areas, with a few sharp curves, so there’s a reason for that 3 mph speed limit — stick to it! Take your time, enjoy the animals, and expect the drive to take a while if they’re particularly interested in your car.
Overall, this is a really special place and absolutely worth a visit. If I’m ever back in the area, I would happily go again.
翻译:AAP真的很棒。园区规模不大,也没有陡峭的坡道,因此对于行动不便的人士来说也相当友好。即便中途多次停下来喂动物,也只需两小时左右就能逛完。早晨时分动物的活跃度似乎更高一些,不过我想这会因日期和季节的不同而有所变化。
我在两天内体验了三种动物互动项目——与水豚、树懒和犀牛的互动,强烈建议大家如果条件允许的话至少体验其中一种哦。我觉得要在一天之内体验完这三个项目,还能留出足够时间游览其他园区,恐怕有些困难。我原以为树懒会是我最喜欢的,但现在看来犀牛互动体验可能更胜一筹。能如此近距离接触这种强大又威风凛凛的动物,实属难得。Tank真是个超级可爱的小家伙,看起来特别享受与游客的互动呢。
水豚和貘也相当不错。那些水豚个性鲜明,而且极其友善。并不是说我不喜欢树懒——它们既有趣又可爱。说实话,我一点也不后悔参与了每一次互动体验,每一次的经历都截然不同。
不过,即便某个互动项目超出了您的预算,在公园里仍有许多机会可以与动物们亲密接触。您可以购买饲料,然后惊喜地发现自己能靠近许多动物。正因如此,AAP给人的感觉比普通动物园要更具互动性得多。我强烈建议您在游览时也体验一下“The Preserve”自驾游项目。这与主园区的体验截然不同,让您能坐在自己的车里近距离观察并和动物互动。这条路线为三英里环形道,部分路段十分陡峭且有一些急转弯,因此才会有每小时3英里的限速规定——请务必遵守!慢慢来吧,尽情欣赏动物们的风采;如果它们对你驾驶的车子特别感兴趣,那整个行程可能会耗费一些时间。总的来说,这是一个非常特别的地方,绝对值得一游。如果我将来再来到这一带,我一定会再次光临。
