点评:This place is amazing and more people should know about it! We had a wonderful morning there with our dino-mad three year old. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we stepped into the gift shop at the front (which has a huge selection of gems and fossils all reasonable priced imo).
The children's activities are perfect, we'd booked the 'baby dino bundle' for my son which again, is extremely reasonably priced. A volunteer theb helped up dig up fossils and pottery, find sharks teeth and pan for gems while being extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We weren't rushed and you could tell all the staff are extremely passionate about this place and what they are doing there.
You get to keep a few of the things you find and we expected to just be handed them - but no! Each piece my son found was carefully identified and placed with an information sheet. I think this care and attention to detail, and making children feel like their finds are important can really foster a deep interest in this subject.
The museum, while small has some absolutely wonderful exhibits, things that I haven't seen even in larger museums.
What an absolute hidden gem, we will definitely be back. If you have a dinosaur/history enthusiast in your house please take them for a fun and very affordable day out
翻译:这个地方太棒了,应该让更多人知道!我们带着痴迷恐龙的三岁儿子在这里度过了一个美好的上午。从踏进门口的礼品店(里面有琳琅满目的宝石和化石,而且价格在我看来都很合理)的那一刻起,我们就感受到了宾至如归的氛围。
儿童活动也很棒,我们为儿子预订了“小恐龙套餐”,价格同样非常实惠。一位志愿者帮助我们挖掘化石和陶器,寻找鲨鱼牙齿,淘宝石,他非常热情,知识渊博。我们玩得很开心,感觉工作人员都对这个地方和他们的工作充满热情。
你可以带走一些自己找到的东西,我们原本以为工作人员会直接把东西交给我们——结果并非如此!我儿子找到的每一件物品都被仔细地鉴定过,并附上了一张说明卡片。我认为这种细致入微的关怀,以及让孩子们觉得自己的发现很重要,真的能够培养他们对这个主题的浓厚兴趣。
这家博物馆虽然不大,但展品却精彩绝伦,有些东西我甚至在更大的博物馆里都没见过。
真是个隐藏的宝藏,我们一定会再来的。如果你家有恐龙/历史爱好者,一定要带他们来这里度过愉快的一天,而且价格非常实惠。
