点评:We have visited this Children’s Museum twice now, and each time has been a fairly delightful experience. The slide in the middle of the main area is absolutely amazing, and my children have loved it on both visits. I appreciate the military discount they offer, as we are a military family.
However, I must mention that both times we visited, the diner and grocery store areas were quite messy. I'm not sure if it is customary for staff to clean these areas throughout the day, but I have not encountered such a situation in other children’s museums. A clean environment is essential for children to fully engage and play. On our most recent visit, we spent about four hours there on a Thursday, and the areas were not tidied by the staff during that time. In fact, I don't recall seeing many staff members throughout the exhibits to maintain the spaces or ensure that everything was in order.
As I attempted to tidy up some areas for my children to play, other kids came over and disrupted what I had organized. Perhaps this lack of child supervision by parents is a reason why staff do not prioritize cleaning. While it is not the facility’s fault that parents may not be supervising their children adequately or encouraging them to help tidy up after play, it is something to consider if you are seeking a pretend play experience for your kids.
On a positive note, my oldest son particularly enjoyed the boat and pretending to steer it. He was also thrilled to write a postcard in the art center, which was to be sent to his favorite baseball team, the Baltimore Orioles. Despite the cleanliness issues, we had a good day, and my boys were tuckered out by the time we left.
翻译:我们已经参观过这家儿童博物馆两次了,每次都相当愉快。主区域中间的滑梯真是太棒了,我的孩子们两次都很喜欢。我很感激他们提供的军人折扣,因为我们是军人家庭。
然而,我必须提一下,我们两次参观时,餐厅和杂货店区域都相当乱。我不确定工作人员是否习惯全天清洁这些区域,但我在其他儿童博物馆没有遇到过这种情况。干净的环境对孩子们充分参与和玩耍至关重要。我们最近一次参观是在周四,在那里待了大约四个小时,而工作人员在那段时间里并没有打扫过这些区域。事实上,我记得在整个展览中都没有看到多少工作人员来维护空间或确保一切井然有序。
当我试图整理一些区域供孩子们玩耍时,其他孩子过来打乱了我整理好的秩序。也许正是家长缺乏对孩子的监管,导致工作人员不重视清洁工作。虽然家长没有充分监管孩子,或者没有鼓励他们在玩耍后帮忙收拾,这并非设施的错,但如果您想让孩子体验角色扮演游戏,这一点还是值得考虑的。
积极的一面是,我的大儿子特别喜欢玩船,喜欢假装自己掌舵。他还很兴奋地在艺术中心写了一张明信片,打算寄给他最喜欢的棒球队——巴尔的摩金莺队。尽管存在一些清洁问题,但我们还是度过了愉快的一天,离开时,我的孩子们都累得筋疲力尽了。
