点评:We had a wonderful time. I can’t believe I had not heard of Glenstone before last fall, but I’m so glad I know about it now. It really is nature, art and architecture right in the Montgomery County country side and that last part is very impressive in my opinion. I loved the beautiful natural native walk along the paths. It is a lot of walking but it’s so beautiful even on a 95 degree day in mid July it was worth it. We did have our water bottles with us but Glenstone offers many water stations along the paths, as well as call boxes for visitors who may need help. The art outside the “main buildings” was fun and thought provoking and at times a bit whimsical. Inside the buildings the art was interesting I really loved some and some was fine but not for me. We grabbed a light snack at the patio and the food was pretty good and not over priced in my opinion (I’m comparing it to the other museums in the DMV). Service at the patio was fantastic and eating under the trees with my family was a nice way to spend my time. I loved the fact that this is a place for adults I think I might have seen 1 stroller. My family and I love all the DC activities and many times they are really kid focused so having a nice place to go that is free without children everywhere was great.
My only real issue was their lack of constancy with their bag policy I was stopped before entering the check-in area and told my 8.5x9 inch bag was too big and that was fine I just took it back to my car but I saw a lot of other people with larger bags everywhere around the property. That was a little disappointing, I’m ok with a bag policy but it should be the same for everyone.
I’m really looking forward to going back again in the fall.
翻译:我们玩得非常愉快。真不敢相信直到去年秋天我才听说格伦斯通这个地方,不过现在能知道它真是太好了。这里完美地融合了自然、艺术与建筑,而建筑方面尤其令我印象深刻。我喜欢沿着小径漫步,欣赏那些美丽的自然景观。虽然需要走很多路,但即便是在七月中旬气温高达95华氏度的情况下,这样的美景也绝对值得一看。我们确实带了水瓶,但Glenstone的小径沿线设有许多饮水处,还有呼叫亭供需要帮助的游客使用。在“主建筑”外的艺术品既有趣又发人深省,有时还带点天马行空的意味。建筑内的艺术品也很有意思——有些特别合我心意,有些则还算不错,但不符合我的口味。我们在露台上吃了些小点心,食物相当不错,价格在我看来也算合理(我是拿它和华盛顿都会区的其他博物馆做对比)。露台上的服务棒极了,能和家人在树下用餐真是愉快的体验。我很喜欢这里是个专为成年人打造的场所——我估计只看到了一辆婴儿车而已。我和家人都很喜欢华盛顿特区的各类活动,不过这些活动往往都以儿童为中心;因此能找到一个没有小孩子来扰、还免费的好去处真是太棒了。
我唯一真正不满意的地方就是他们的包袋政策缺乏一致性:我在进入安检区前被拦下,工作人员告诉我8……那个5x9英寸的袋子实在太大了,不过没关系,我直接把它带回车里了。不过我发现园区里到处都有拿着更大尺寸袋子的人。这有点令人失望——我并不反对携带袋子的规定,但应该对所有人都一视同仁才对。
我真的非常期待秋天时能再去一次。
