点评:Visited mid week with a toddler. Lots of parents and toddlers round the zoo.
We arrived early and left as the zoo closed so a full day. Didn’t see much when we arrived but lots of animals more visible from midday, seems everything had a lie in. Took a picnic which was useful as lots of the food outlets were closed.
Clearly renovation was being undertaken that led you into dead ends.
Some investment in the enclosures has clearly been made but others are looking a bit sad.
Giraffes exhibit was closed inside and out to settle in some newbies which was a shame and we didn’t know this until we had walked down the long walk way, long with a toddler anyway. We felt it should have been displayed that it was closed earlier in the zoo or at the entrance as it was still listed on the app as there being talks on. We could have dedicated more time to the Gruffalo trail that we went in at 14:30 however by 15:00 the goat walk and snakes exhibit was already shut (zoo closed at 16:00).
It was lovely to get up close to the zebras, gorillas, butterfly house and the bonobo’s they were probably our favourite.
We had discounted tickets giving us entry about half price so at this rate it was worth it. We made a 3 hour round trip, staying overnight locally to be able to maximise our time there. We will probably return in a year or so to see what changes have been made.
翻译:我们在周中带着学步期的孩子去游览。动物园里有很多家长和小孩。
我们很早就到了,一直待到动物园闭园,度过了完整的一天。刚到时没看到多少动物,不过从中午开始就能看到很多动物了——看来它们都睡了个懒觉。我们带了野餐食物,这真是个明智之举,因为很多食品店都关门了。
显然动物园正在进行翻修,有些路段甚至走不通。
部分动物栖息区显然得到了翻新,但另一些则显得有些破旧不堪。长颈鹿展区内外均关闭,以便迎接一些新来的长颈鹿,这实在可惜。我们沿着长长的步道走了好远,还带着一个学步期的孩子,才得知这一情况。我们认为动物园理应在更早的时候就在园内或入口处告知此展区已关闭,因为应用程序上仍显示那里有讲解活动。我们本可以花更多时间游览14:30才开放的“格鲁法洛小径”,但到了15:00,山羊步道和蛇类展区就已经关闭了(动物园16:00闭园)。
能够近距离接触斑马、大猩猩、蝴蝶屋以及倭黑猩猩真是太棒了,它们大概是我们最喜欢的展区。
我们购买了打折门票,价格仅为原价的一半左右,这样的价格确实物有所值。为了充分利用游览时间,我们特意驱车三小时往返,并在当地过夜。我们大概一年后会再来,看看有哪些变化。
