点评:We visited The Breakers in the afternoon, arriving at 12:30 for our 1:00 pm tour and easily found free parking across the street with plenty of spots. With no lines and a relaxed atmosphere, we had time to explore the beautifully maintained grounds before heading inside. We’d purchased discounted tickets online as part of the Breakers Plus 2 package, which made the experience even better. The one-hour audio tour was both informative and engaging, bringing the Vanderbilt family’s summer “cottage” to life with vivid stories and surprising details—like the use of electricity with gas backup and separate plumbing for fresh and salt water. The sheer opulence of a home used only for summer was astonishing. The Cliff Walk can be accessed just outside the mansion.
翻译:我们下午参观了“断崖庄园”(The Breakers),中午12:30就到了,准备下午1:00的行程。我们很容易就找到了街对面的免费停车位,那里有很多车位。无需排队,氛围轻松惬意,我们有时间在进入庄园之前,好好欣赏一下维护得非常漂亮的庭院。我们在网上购买了“断崖庄园Plus 2”套餐的折扣票,这让体验更加完美。一小时的语音导览内容丰富,引人入胜,生动地讲述了范德比尔特家族的夏季“小屋”的故事,以及一些令人惊喜的细节——比如使用电力和燃气,以及淡水和咸水的独立管道。这座仅在夏季使用的宅邸,其奢华程度令人叹为观止。庄园外就能通往悬崖步道(Cliff Walk)。
