点评:We were really excited to do the “Sleeping with the Wolves” experience at Parc Omega since we live close and have been to the parc many times. We had seen the videos and pictures online of the wolves walking right up to the cabin windows, so that was a big part of what we were looking forward to.
We booked a two-bedroom ,(cabin #14) for my wife, her girlfriend and me for 2 nights with the artic wolves. It’s not a cheap getaway, so it was something we had saved up for and were really excited about.
The wolves did come by our cabin once, which was really cool to see, but they didn’t come particularly close and didn’t stay very long. I completely understand that they are wild animals, even though they are in a controlled environment, and you can’t control exactly what they will do. At the same time, there are certain things within the park’s control that can influence the experience. I think the biggest issue is that the videos and photos can definitely give you the impression that the wolves will be hanging around your cabin quite a bit.
We did our homework before going and made sure we knew what to bring and what was included. There were just a few little things that I think could improve the experience, like having coffee filters available for the coffee maker we used paper towels to make coffee. A TV in the cabin would also be nice, especially since there can be quite a bit of downtime if you choose to stay around the cabin. A information sheet about how big the pack is names of the wolves etc.. And a feeding or snack schedule for the wolves, so you don't miss a moment of what your paying to see.
I also think early access to the park before the gates officially open would be a great addition. It would give guests staying overnight a chance to enjoy the park without the larger crowds. We really enjoyed the night walk and the lights, but I also think that should be included with the stay rather than being an additional cost.
Overall, I’m glad we did it, and it was definitely a different and memorable experience. I just think the actual experience didn’t quite match what we had seen online.
Would I do it again? Probably not. But I’m still glad we went and experienced it for ourselves. 🐺
翻译:我们住在附近,也多次去过欧米茄公园,因此能参加那里的“与狼同眠”体验让我们兴奋不已。我们在网上看过很多视频和图片,画面中狼群直接走到小木屋的窗边,这正是我们最为期待的部分。
我们预订了一间两居室的木屋(14号木屋),和我妻子、她的女友一起在那里与北极狼共度两晚。这可不是一次便宜的度假之旅。所以这是我们蓄力已久、也非常期待的事情。
那些狼确实来过我们的木屋附近一次,能见到它们真的太酷了,不过它们并没有靠得太近,停留的时间也不长。我完全明白,即便身处受控环境中,它们终究是野生动物,我们无法精准预测它们的行为。但与此同时,公园也有一些能够掌控的因素,它们会影响到游客的体验。我认为最大的问题在于,那些视频和照片确实会给人一种印象:狼群会经常在小木屋周围出没。
出发前我们做了充分准备,确保知道该带什么以及住宿包含哪些设施。不过还是有几点小细节我觉得可以改进,比如我们用的咖啡机本应配有咖啡滤纸,结果我们只能用纸巾来替代。另外,小木屋里要是有台电视就更好了。尤其是当你选择留在小木屋附近时,可能会出现相当长的空闲时间。那里有一份信息手册,介绍了狼群的体型大小、名字等等;还有一份狼群的喂食或加餐时间表,这样你就不会错过任何值得一看的精彩瞬间。
我觉得在公园正式开放前允许游客提前进入也是个不错的主意。这样过夜的客人就能在避开人群的情况下尽情享受公园的乐趣。我们真的很享受夜间的散步以及那些灯光,不过我觉得这项活动理应包含在住宿费用中,而不应作为额外收费项目。
总的来说,我很高兴我们参加了这次活动,这绝对是一次独特且令人难忘的体验。只是实际体验似乎并没有达到我们在网上看到的宣传效果。
我会再参加吗?大概不会了。不过我依然庆幸自己亲自去体验了一回。🐺
