点评:The Loon Center is one of several one-room museums in New Hampshire; or more accurately, it is an organization headquarters with a nice gift shop, a museum annex, and access to hiking trails. To get to the center you must go on a couple of miles of unpaved roads. As I was pulling in, they were putting ‘no parking’ signs around the entrance, so if there is a special event or sudden rush of people parking may be an issue. As it was, my compact car was a bit boxed in by the time I went to retrieve it.
The room about Loons has a good amount of information and given the space there probably isn’t a lot to add. It has a children’s play area which is something of a drawback in that the kids were loud while we were attempting to watch a short video (available on request). Another quasi-interactive exhibit could use some sprucing-up.
While I wouldn’t rate it “must see” for the area, you do get your fill of loon information and getting out in the woods is nice when the weather co-operates. Also, the organization seems like a worthy cause .
翻译:洛恩中心是新罕布什尔州为数不多的仅有一间展室的博物馆之一;更准确地说,它其实是一个机构总部,内设一家不错的礼品店、一个博物馆附属展厅,还有通往徒步小径的入口。要到达该中心,必须行驶几英里未铺砌的道路。我开车到达时,他们正在入口处竖起“禁止停车”的标志,因此如果遇到特别活动或人群突然增多的情况,停车可能会成为问题。不过就当时而言……当我去取车的时候,我的小型车有点被挤在角落里动弹不得。
关于“Loons”的展厅里有相当多的信息展示;考虑到展厅空间有限,大概也没什么可再添加的了吧。那里还有一个儿童游乐区,不过这算是个缺点——因为我们试图观看一段短片(可按要求观看)时,孩子们吵闹个不停。另一个半互动式的展项也亟待修缮一番。
虽然我不会把它列为该地区“必看”的景点,不过……你确实能获取到大量关于驼鹿的信息,天气不错的时候到树林里走走也挺不错的。此外,这个组织似乎也在做着有意义的事。
