点评:This was our second visit to the aquarium, which is well-designed and contains numerous interesting species of fish, snakes, turtles, penguins, river otters and other aquatic life. The aquarium is located in a great area of Chattanooga with several nice hotels and restaurants closeby.
We visited on a Tuesday and were only part-way thru our visit, having just completed the river section before heading to the ocean exhibits, but were already frustrated by at least two school field trip groups (I’m guessing they were between 5th and 7th grade) that were very loud and disruptive, making our experience much less enjoyable than what we recalled from our first visit. The kids were loud, disrespectful and generally damaged our experience. The chaperones weren’t much better than the kids and made no attempt to quiet them or have them walk in any order. I was bumped into three times - once fairly aggressively- with no “excuse me,” or apology.
I started to approach Guest Services but frankly didn’t expect them to improve the situation since several aquarium employees (volunteers?) had clearly seen the kids’ behavior and done nothing. We just tried to stay ahead of these groups, see what we could peacefully, and leave.
For the sake of other guests, I really hope the aquarium will tell kids’ adult group leaders they need to demonstrate respectful behavior or they’ll be asked to leave.
翻译:这是我们第二次参观水族馆,水族馆设计精良,拥有众多有趣的鱼类、蛇类、海龟、企鹅、水獭和其他水生生物。水族馆位于查塔努加一个很棒的地区,附近有几家不错的酒店和餐馆。
我们是周二参观的,只参观了一部分,在前往海洋展览之前刚刚完成了河流部分的游览,但至少有两个学校实地考察团(我猜他们是 5 到 7 年级)非常吵闹和扰乱秩序,让我们的体验比我们第一次参观时记忆中的要差得多。孩子们吵闹、无礼,总体上破坏了我们的体验。监护人并不比孩子们好多少,也没有试图让他们安静下来或让他们按顺序行走。我被撞了三次——一次相当粗暴——没有说“对不起”,也没有道歉。
我开始联系游客服务部,但坦率地说,我并不指望他们能改善这种情况,因为几名水族馆员工(志愿者?)清楚地看到了孩子们的行为,却什么也没做。我们只是试图走在这些团体前面,看看我们能做什么,然后离开。
为了其他客人的利益,我真的希望水族馆能告诉儿童成人组领导,他们需要表现出尊重的行为,否则他们将被要求离开。
