点评:There are two sections to the visitor center. The visitor center itself has displays about the history and wildlife of the Land Between The Lakes area. There are bathrooms, a help desk, a large rack of maps and pamphlets for the area, and a small gift shop. I found the displays to be well organized and informative.
The second part of the visitor center is the planetarium. There are shows every hours about astronomical phenomena. The one I saw was on meteors. Sometimes there are laser light shows set to music. When I went they had a Queen show and a Taylor Swift show. The Queen show was great and the laser designs matched the music well. I don't recall the fee for the planetarium, but I believe it was $7, so not very expensive.
There is an actual observatory with a telescope around 50 feet or so behind the visitor center, but I don't know anything about it. I believe they have some programs out there sometimes. The night sky would be amazing due to the lack of light pollution.
If you're staying at Land Between The Lakes, you should visit the visitor center.
翻译:游客中心分为两个部分。游客中心内设有关于“湖泊之间地带”的历史与野生动物的展示区。这里还有卫生间、服务台、大量该地区的地图和宣传册,以及一家小纪念品店。我觉得这些展示内容条理清晰且富有信息量。
游客中心的第二部分是天文馆。这里每小时都会放映有关天文现象的影片。我观看的那场介绍的是流星。有时候会有配合音乐播放的激光秀。我去的时候,正好有皇后乐队的激光秀以及泰勒·斯威夫特的激光秀。皇后乐队的表演很精彩,激光效果也很好地与音乐相契合。我不记得天文馆的门票价格了,但应该是7美元左右,不算很贵。
在游客中心后面大约50英尺处有一个配有望远镜的天文台,不过我对那里的情况一无所知。我想他们偶尔也会在那里举办一些活动吧。由于没有光污染,夜空看起来格外迷人。
如果你住在“湖泊之间地带”,一定要去游客中心逛逛。
