点评:This was a quirky must-see for our trip to London. Turns out, Europe is pretty obsessed with automatons right now… and for good reason! They’re unique, fun, creative, cheeky, sometimes creepy but all around a good time.
Novelty Automation does not charge a “cover” but they do allow you to buy tokens to feed to the machines. We bought £35 worth of tokens which was enough to try all the machines. Most of them were interactive. Some of the machines were interactive enough to keep you busy for 10 or 15 minutes. Some of them even gave souvenir prizes.
The shop is small, but even so, you can spend a half hour to two hours here. The clerk behind the counter was very sweet. He seemed genuinely happy to work there, and assisted with the machines when asked.
I went with my spouse but we kept saying that this place is perfect for families too (maybe ages 13+). If you’re traveling London with a sullen teenager who doesn’t wanna be hanging out with you, this is the place to take them. They’ll perk right up.
翻译:这绝对是我们伦敦之旅的必去之地。看来,欧洲现在对自动机械装置真是着了迷……而且理由充分!它们独特、有趣、充满创意、有点调皮,有时甚至有点诡异,但总之玩起来很过瘾。
Novelty Automation 不收取“门票”,但允许你购买代币来玩机器。我们买了价值 35 英镑的代币,足够体验所有机器了。大多数机器都是互动式的。有些机器互动性很强,能让你玩上 10 到 15 分钟。有些机器甚至还会送纪念品。
这家店不大,但即便如此,你也能在这里消磨半小时到两个小时。柜台后面的店员非常热情友好。他看起来真心喜欢这份工作,而且乐于助人。
我和我的伴侣一起去的,但我们一直觉得这里也很适合家庭(也许 13 岁以上)。如果你带着一个闷闷不乐、不想和你待在一起的青少年游览伦敦,那就带他来这里吧。他肯定会立刻精神起来。
