点评:Our visit to Ford’s Theatre during our Washington DC trip took some advance planning, since tickets go quickly and the different options can be a little confusing. Some include access to specific exhibits or talks, and not everything is included with every ticket.
We started in the museum with audio guides, and to my surprise, both of our girls really enjoyed the kid-friendly version. They stayed engaged and actually learned quite a bit. We could have used more time there because it was more interesting than we expected.
Next was the Ranger talk in the theater itself. Our youngest struggled a bit with the sitting and listening, but the Ranger was an incredible storyteller. He walked us through the events of Lincoln’s assassination in a way that felt dramatic and meaningful, even for the adults.
Afterward, we crossed the street to visit Petersen House and the Aftermath exhibits. It was a heavy but important way to end the visit.
翻译:我们在华盛顿特区旅行期间参观福特剧院,提前做了一些计划,因为门票很快就卖光了,而且各种选择可能会让人有点眼花缭乱。有些门票包含特定展览或讲座,但并非所有门票都包含所有项目。
我们先从博物馆的语音导览开始,令我惊讶的是,我们的两个女儿都非常喜欢儿童版的语音导览。她们一直很投入,而且学到了很多东西。我们本来可以在那里待更长时间,因为它比我们预期的更有趣。
接下来是剧院里的护林员讲座。我们最小的女儿坐着听讲有点吃力,但护林员讲故事的能力非常出色。他以一种即使对成年人来说也充满戏剧性和意义的方式,向我们讲述了林肯遇刺事件的经过。
之后,我们穿过马路去参观彼得森故居和“后果”展览。这是一个沉重但重要的结束之旅的方式。
