点评:I honestly don't understand how this is marketed as an "Ice Mine." Based on the advertising, I expected to visit an actual mine—something you could walk into, explore, or at least experience in some meaningful way. Instead, after paying $5 per person, we got a brief five-minute history lesson and were shown what amounts to a hole in the ground with some ice at the bottom.
That's the entire attraction.
There is no mine to enter, no tunnels to explore, no climbing, no traversing, and nothing resembling the experience the advertising implies. The biggest attraction on the property is honestly the gift shop.
Had this been advertised as a historical roadside stop with a natural ice formation, I probably wouldn't have been disappointed. But calling it an "Ice Mine" creates expectations that simply aren't met.
The admission fee wasn't the issue -- it was feeling misled. We drove out of our way expecting a unique attraction and instead spent just a few minutes looking into a hole before leaving. It was one of the most underwhelming tourist attractions I've visited.
If you're expecting to tour a mine, you'll leave disappointed. Save your time and money unless all you're looking for is a quick history lesson and a view of an ice-filled pit.
翻译:说实在的,我不明白这里为何被宣传为“冰矿”。从广告来看,我原以为会参观一座真正的矿井——一个可以走进去、探索一番,或者至少能从中获得某种切实体验的地方。然而,在每人支付了5美元之后,我们只听了一则短短五分钟的历史介绍,然后被带去看了一个底部有些冰块的坑洞而已。
这就是整个景点的全部内容了。
根本没有可以进入的矿井,也没有可供探索的隧道,更谈不上攀爬或穿越。实际上,这里根本没有广告中所描述的那种体验。老实说,整个景点最吸引人的地方就是礼品店。
如果当初宣传时只说这是一处拥有天然冰层的历史悠久的路边景点,我大概也不会失望。但把它称作“冰矿”就容易让人产生不切实际的期望,而这些期望最终根本无法实现。
门票价格倒不是问题——真正让人不满的是感觉被误导了。我们特意绕道而来,原以为会看到什么独特的景点,结果只在一个坑洞前驻足了几分钟便离开了。这是我见过最让人失望的旅游景点之一。
如果你期望能参观矿井内部,那肯定会失望而归。除非你只是想简单了解一下历史并看看那个满是冰块的坑洞,否则还是把时间和金钱省下来吧。
