点评:A mixed bag for us. Fortunately we were there on a very quiet day before the majority of schools had broken up.
1. Bizarre ticketing system: you book online but when you arrive you have to fill in names of all visitors and sign an insurance waiver. This slows down the admission speed and consequently there are very soon queues.
2.Children are not allowed to roam free until they are 9: this has the consequence of having to trail around following your children all day with very few places to sit whilst you ‘watch over them’ ( our grandchildren were sent back to us when they attempted to run between activities.
3. There are “restrictions” about who can use the individual playground items but no one to enforce them. My grand daughter was behind a toddler ( no more than 3 years old and my guess was that he was younger) who have navigated his way up to the walkway of the tangled tunnels, which was more than 10 foot above the ground, whilst his mother was down below encouraging him onward but in no position to help him if he got stuck.
4. Conversely because of the policy of not allowing children full rein there were a lot of adults following their children on the playground activities. Adults move more slowly than children so the freedom of children to play at their own pace were compromised by bumping into adults who were in the way.
5. Our group of children were disappointed with the storytime since they had heard the stories before on a previous visit with their parents.
6.Not much evidence of staff. . We only saw staff members at the entrance gate, operating the boats, doing storytime and facilitating the zip wires.
7. We spent 4 hours there. Took our own food. Children all very ready to go home.
翻译:对我们来说,情况喜忧参半。幸运的是,我们去的那天非常安静,那时大多数学校还没放假。
1. 奇怪的售票系统:虽然可以在网上预订,但到达后仍需填写所有参观者的姓名并签署保险免责条款。这大大减慢了入场速度,以至于很快就排起了长队。
2.9岁以下的儿童不允许自由活动:这就导致家长们不得不一整天都跟在孩子身后,却几乎没有可以坐下的地方来“照看他们”(我们的孙辈试图在不同活动区域之间跑动时,就被带回到我们身边了)。
3. 对于哪些人可以使用各个游乐设施有一定“限制”,但却没有人负责执行这些规定。我的孙女跟在一个学步儿童身后——那个孩子至多3岁,我猜实际上年纪更小。这孩子自己摸索着爬上了那些错综复杂的隧道所形成的通道,该通道离地面有10多英尺高。而他的妈妈则站在下方鼓励他继续前进,不过如果孩子卡住了,她也根本无力施救。
4. 相反,由于规定不允许儿童随心所欲地活动,因此有许多成年人在操场上密切注视着自己的孩子。成年人行动比儿童缓慢,因此孩子们按照自己的节奏玩耍的自由受到了阻碍——他们常常会撞到挡在路上的成年人。
5. 我们这群孩子对故事时间感到失望,因为他们之前在父母的陪伴下来过一次,已经听过这些故事了。
6. 几乎看不到工作人员的踪迹。我们只在入口处看到工作人员,他们负责操作船只、讲述故事以及组织滑索活动。
7. 我们在那里待了4个小时,自带了食物。孩子们都迫不及待想回家了。
