点评:I wish that I could say this was a great experience, but it wasn't. I grew up in California and was familiar with the stories about the Leland Stanford family so I thought it would be interesting to see the mansion where the family had lived.
I am amazed that, having read previous reviews from as far back as 10 years ago that the same people who were disappointed in the experience matched pretty much what my husband and I experienced.
1. One lady said they couldn't find where to enter for the tour. It is not at the front gate. It's on the side of the house. There is a visitor's center located there.
2. Street parking is not easy to obtain. And there is metered parking everywhere. So, good luck finding parking. We arrived late in the day so there was some parking available.
3. We experienced the same indifferent attitude from the staff in the visitor's center that people mentioned from years ago. That's too bad.
4. The mansion itself is not a self guided tour, you have to go with a guide. According to the website the tours are every hour on the hour. It also says that tours may be cancelled due to activities being held in the mansion. I highly recommend calling before you go.
In summary: The visitors center was the best part, and you can see that at any time the park is open from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
翻译:我真希望这次参观体验很棒,但事实并非如此。我从小在加州长大,对利兰·斯坦福家族的故事耳熟能详,所以很想去看看他们曾经居住的宅邸。
令我惊讶的是,我读过一些早在十年前的评论,发现那些对这次参观感到失望的人,和我丈夫的经历几乎完全一致。
1. 一位女士说她找不到参观入口。其实入口不在正门,而是在房子侧面。那里有一个游客中心。
2. 街边停车位很难找,而且到处都是咪表停车位。所以,祝你好运找到停车位。我们到得比较晚,所以还有些空位。
3. 我们在游客中心也遇到了和几年前其他人提到的一样的冷漠态度。真是太遗憾了。
4. 这座宅邸本身并非自助游览,您必须跟随导游。根据网站信息,导览团每小时整点出发。网站还提到,由于宅邸内可能举办其他活动,导览团可能会取消。我强烈建议您提前致电确认。
总而言之:游客中心是整个游览体验中最棒的部分,您可以看到公园的开放时间为上午 10:00 至下午 5:00。
