Go Early, Buy the Feed & Take Your Time
弗吉尼亚游猎公园的点评
点评：We visited on a Thursday morning around 9:30 with two adults and a 14-year-old and had a great time. I definitely recommend going on a weekday and getting there first thing in the morning if you can. We bought three feed buckets per person for the drive-through. A good rule is DON'T start your second bucket until you reach mile marker 1, and don't start your third until mile marker 2—you'll want that feed later! There was also a feed hut about halfway through the drive, but it was closed the day we visited.
We brought a larger bucket from home, dumped our feed into it and scooped smaller amounts into the safari buckets as we went. This ended up being a GREAT idea because Bestie dropped her bucket—with thankfully only a little feed in it—almost immediately after we entered the safari. The animals absolutely recognize those buckets and know they mean FOOD. Be prepared for feed to end up inside your vehicle, too. There is a vacuum in the last parking area on the right as you're exiting, which was a nice touch. If I went again, I'd also bring a GoPro with a hood or roof mount. You could get some amazing footage without trying to hold your phone while feeding animals.
The walk-through zoo is definitely worth doing too. We bought the $12 feeding package that included a cup of lettuce for the giraffes, two bird feeding sticks and a cup of goat feed. The downside is that you have to carry everything through most of the zoo because the giraffes are toward the back. There is another vendor at the giraffe observation deck if you don't want to carry lettuce, but it was more expensive than buying the package inside. HAVE PATIENCE with the giraffes! They may not immediately come over, but wait them out. Ours eventually came up to us and getting to feed them was absolutely worth it.
The bird enclosure was probably the most overwhelming part of the day. The birds have ZERO concept of personal space. They'll land on your arms, shoulders, head—pretty much anywhere they feel like it. The sign warns that some may nip, and take that warning seriously! We had them trying to nibble fingers, ears and hair, and some of those nips can actually hurt. I wasn't a fan from the beginning. Bestie and the teenager thought it was fun at first, but about halfway through even they were ready to GET OUT. Also, don't miss the sleeping kangaroos. Let's just say some of the males were VERY relaxed and apparently have no concern for modesty.
There's a good amount of walking. We logged around 2 miles while we were there, and the paths are a combination of blacktop and bluestone with some uneven areas and inclines. It was about 82° during our visit and definitely felt warm, so bring a water bottle and wear comfortable shoes. A GoPro on a chest or hat mount would've also been awesome for the walk-through portion. The café offers food and drinks, and the bathrooms were large, clean and had some seriously appreciated A/C! We could see animals in all of the enclosures and didn't have the problem of everything hiding, although the sunlight reflecting off the glass made some of the reptile exhibits difficult to see.
Overall, we had a great experience and there's enough here to spend several hours between the safari and walk-through zoo. Buy plenty of feed, pace yourself through the drive, bring water, wear good shoes and don't rush the giraffes. And if you enter that bird enclosure...you've been warned. We'd absolutely visit again!

翻译：我们是在周四早上9点半左右去的，同行的有两位成年人和一个14岁的孩子，玩得非常开心。如果可以的话，我强烈建议大家在工作日一大早前往。我们每人买了三个喂食桶来用于“驾车喂食”环节。有个小窍门：在到达1英里标记处之前千万别开始用第二个喂食桶，而第三个则要等到2英里标记处才能用——因为后面还会需要用到饲料呢！沿途大约一半路程处还有一个饲料补给站。不过我们去参观的那天它关闭了。
我们从家里带了一个大桶，把饲料倒进去，然后边走边用小勺子把少量饲料舀进各个野生动物投食桶中。这真是个绝妙的主意——因为在我们进入野生动物园后，Bestie立刻就把她的桶给弄掉了，所幸桶里只有少量饲料。那些动物们绝对能认出这些桶，也知道里面装的是食物。另外，也要做好心理准备：饲料很可能会掉到你的车里哦。在出口处右侧的最后一个停车区里有个真空吸尘器，这个细节设计真是贴心。如果再去一次的话，我还会带上装有护罩或安装在车顶上的GoPro相机。这样就不必一边喂动物一边手持手机了，还能拍到很棒的画面。
漫步式动物园也绝对值得一逛。我们购买了12美元的喂食套餐，里面有一杯喂长颈鹿的生菜、两根喂鸟的喂食棒，还有一杯喂山羊的饲料。缺点是，由于长颈鹿处在动物园的后面区域，你得把所有东西都带到那儿去。如果你不想携带生菜，在长颈鹿观赏区还有另一家售货处，不过那里的价格比购买园内售卖的套餐要贵。请对长颈鹿们有耐心吧！它们可能不会立刻走过来，但耐心等待就会有所收获。我们的长颈鹿最终还是走近了我们，能亲自喂它们真的非常值得！鸟类饲养区很可能是当天最让人应接不暇的环节了。这些鸟完全不懂什么是个人空间——它们会落在你的手臂、肩膀、头上，基本上只要它们想，哪里都可以停。告示牌上提醒说有些鸟可能会啄人，这个警告可千万别忽视！当时就有鸟试图啄我们的手指、耳朵和头发，其中有些啄击还挺疼的。我从一开始就不喜欢这个环节。我的闺蜜和那个青少年起初倒觉得挺好玩的。不过走到一半时，就连他们都想离开了。另外，可千万别错过那些正在睡觉的袋鼠哦。可以说，有些雄性袋鼠表现得非常放松，显然完全不在乎“端庄”之类的规矩呢。
园区内需要走不少路。我们在那里行走的路程约为2英里左右，小径则由柏油路和蓝石路混合组成，有些地方不够平整且略有坡度。我们去的时候气温约为82华氏度，确实挺热的，所以记得带上水瓶并穿上舒适的鞋子哦。在游览环节，如果在胸前或帽子上安装一个GoPro相机也会很棒。咖啡馆提供食物和饮料，洗手间宽敞干净，空调效果也极佳，真是令人感激不已！我们能看到所有围栏里的动物，也没有遇到动物都躲起来的问题；不过阳光在玻璃上反射，导致有些爬行动物展区难以看清。
总的来说，我们的体验棒极了！从野生动物园的驾车游览到步行参观区，足够让我们待上好几个小时。记得多买些饲料，驾车时慢慢来，带上水，穿双舒服的鞋子，也别去打扰长颈鹿哦。另外，如果你走进那个鸟类围栏……可要小心了！我们绝对会再来的！
