点评:Chattanooga Zoo – Amazing Giraffe Feeding Experience, Red Pandas & Great Value Interactive Visit
We originally hadn’t planned a visit to the Chattanooga Zoo, but what a wonderful surprise this turned out to be!
I had seen on their website that they have red pandas, and that alone was enough for me — I had never seen them in real life before, and OMG… they are absolutely adorable. I’m just glad the “panda experience” package was a bit too pricey, or my husband might have tried to bring one home with us!
The zoo offers an experience package with vouchers that can be used for activities like giraffe feeding, the carousel, or the Zoo Choo train. Since the carousel and train are more kid-oriented, we used our vouchers for the giraffe feeding — and it was the highlight of the visit.
Feeding “Porter” the giraffe was an unforgettable experience. While you can’t pet him, you do get to feel his soft, velvety mouth and tongue as he eagerly takes lettuce right from your hands. Honestly, giraffe feeding should be on everyone’s bucket list!
There are also “Keeper Chats” throughout the day, and we learned so much during an engaging session about chimpanzees. The staff and volunteers were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire visit.
We also enjoyed seeing snow leopards, peacocks freely wandering the grounds, “Pumba” the warthog, and spending time in the petting zoo with the goats.
The zoo is very manageable in size — you can comfortably explore everything in about 1.5 to 2 hours. The on-site food was also surprisingly good; we had the cheeseburger fries for $14, and the portion was huge — easily shareable and very tasty.
Tickets with the experience vouchers were $27.50 per person (regular price, we had no discounts), and it was absolutely worth it considering it included the giraffe feeding experience.
翻译:查塔努加动物园——精彩的长颈鹿喂食体验、小熊猫和超值的互动游览
我们原本并没有计划去查塔努加动物园,但这却给我们带来了一个意想不到的惊喜!
我在他们的网站上看到有小熊猫,光是这一点就足以让我心动了——我以前从未亲眼见过它们,天哪……它们真是太可爱了!幸好“熊猫体验”套餐有点贵,不然我老公可能真想把一只熊猫带回家!
动物园提供体验套餐,里面包含可用于长颈鹿喂食、旋转木马或动物园小火车等活动的代金券。由于旋转木马和小火车更适合小朋友,我们把代金券用在了长颈鹿喂食上——这成了我们此行的亮点。
喂长颈鹿“波特”是一次难忘的经历。虽然你不能抚摸它,但你可以感受它柔软丝滑的嘴唇和舌头,看着它兴高采烈地从你手中接过生菜。说真的,喂长颈鹿绝对是每个人的人生必体验之一!
动物园全天都有“饲养员讲解”活动,我们参加了一场精彩的黑猩猩讲解会,学到了很多东西。整个参观过程中,工作人员和志愿者都非常友好、知识渊博且热情周到。
我们还看到了雪豹、在园内自由漫步的孔雀、疣猪“彭彭”,以及在宠物动物园里和山羊们亲密接触的时光。
动物园的规模适中,大约1.5到2个小时就能轻松游览完所有区域。园内的食物也出乎意料地美味;我们点了14美元的芝士汉堡薯条,分量十足——足够两个人分享,而且味道也非常好。
包含体验券的门票每人 27.50 美元(原价,我们没有享受任何折扣),考虑到其中包含喂长颈鹿体验,绝对物超所值。
