点评:What a fantastic experience! Free entry!
We visited Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive, about 45 minutes from our hotel in Orlando. I was a little sceptical beforehand about how much wildlife we would actually see, but wow, what a lovely surprise!
The drive is approximately 10 miles long, and we travelled at around 5–10 mph for most of it. It took us about an hour and a half to complete, but we never felt rushed.
We came hoping to see alligators in their natural environment, and we certainly weren’t disappointed! We saw plenty of them, including some incredibly close to the road. Seeing these amazing animals in the wild rather than in a zoo or theme park was something really special.
There was plenty of other wildlife to see along the way too, and we managed to get some fantastic photos.
One really clever feature is the optional audio tour. At the entrance, you can scan a QR code to access it, and there are numbered checkpoints along the drive where you can listen to the next section. Such a lovely idea and a great way to learn more about the area and its wildlife as you explore.
One thing we particularly enjoyed was how relaxed the whole experience was. It wasn’t particularly busy when we visited, and there were places to pull over along the route, so we could stop, take photos and enjoy the surroundings without holding everyone else up.
There are even portable toilets along the way, which is handy considering how long you can spend exploring!
The whole experience was peaceful, enjoyable and completely different from the busy Orlando attractions we’d been visiting.
If you’re visiting Orlando and fancy doing something a little different, I would absolutely recommend Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. It’s a wonderful opportunity to see Florida’s wildlife in its natural habitat.
We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely do it again.
翻译:真是一次绝妙的体验!还能免费入场!
我们去了阿波普卡湖野生动物观赏路,那里距离我们在奥兰多的酒店约45分钟车程。出发前我还有些怀疑究竟能看到多少野生动物,结果真是令人惊喜不已!
这条观赏路全长约10英里,我们大部分时间都以每小时5到10英里的速度缓慢行驶。全程大约花了一个半小时,但我们丝毫不觉得匆忙。
我们此行就是希望能看到生活在自然环境中的短吻鳄。我们绝对没有失望!我们看到了很多长颈鹿,其中一些甚至离道路非常近。能在野外而非动物园或主题公园中看到这些可爱的动物,真是一次难得的体验。
沿途还有大量其他野生动物可供观赏,我们也拍下了不少精彩的照片。
一个非常贴心的设计就是可选的语音导览。在入口处,只需扫描二维码即可使用。沿途设有多个标有编号的检查点,您可以在那里收听下一段讲解。这个设计真是妙不可言,能让您在游览的同时更深入地了解这片区域及其野生动物。
我们特别喜欢的一点是整个游览体验非常轻松惬意。我们去的时候游客并不多,沿途也有可以停车的地方,这样我们就能停下来拍照、欣赏周围的风景,而不会影响到其他游客的行程。沿途甚至还设有移动式厕所,考虑到游客可能需要花大量时间来游览,这一设置真是便利至极!
整个过程宁静而愉快,与我们之前参观过的那些热闹非凡的奥兰多景点截然不同。
如果你正在奥兰多旅游,又想体验一些与众不同的活动,我强烈推荐去阿波普卡湖野生动物车道。这是近距离观察佛罗里达州野生动物的绝佳机会。我们乐在其中,绝对会再参加一次。
