点评:We're two retirees from FL visiting Tucson and went to the Desert Museum specifically to see the birds. We actually stopped on the way to buy a pair of binoculars since we had left ours at home. After paying close to $60, we asked a docent how to get to the hummingbirds and she told us that the exhibit was closed and the birds gone. As we discovered, the enclosure was open but there were no birds in it.
Moving on to the free-flight aviary, we saw two birds - one quail and what I believe might have been a dove. It certainly wasn't as advertised: "Step into a large free-flight aviary featuring a variety of species native to the Sonoran Desert region."
The website makes no indication that the hummingbird exhibit isn't operating and we would have skipped an expensive visit had we known this.
We stopped to complain about it on the way out and were offered free admission to return at another time, which won't do us much good living over 1000 miles away.
If you're going there to see a specific exhibit, call ahead since the website is misleading and not updated.
翻译:我们是两位来自佛罗里达州的退休人士,来图森旅游,特意去了沙漠博物馆看鸟。因为把望远镜忘在家里了,所以我们在路上停下来买了一副。花了将近60美元后,我们问一位讲解员怎么去看蜂鸟,她告诉我们蜂鸟展区关闭了,鸟也走了。后来我们发现,蜂鸟笼虽然开着,但里面一只鸟也没有。
之后我们去了自由飞行鸟舍,只看到了两只鸟——一只鹌鹑和一只我猜可能是鸽子的鸟。这跟宣传的完全不一样:“走进一个大型自由飞行鸟舍,这里展示了索诺兰沙漠地区的各种本土鸟类。”
网站上完全没有说明蜂鸟展区关闭,如果我们事先知道的话,就不会花这么多钱了。
离开的时候我们停下来投诉,博物馆给了我们免费入场下次再来的机会,但这对我们这些住在1000多英里之外的人来说没什么用。
如果您打算去那里参观某个特定展览,请提前致电确认,因为网站信息不准确且未及时更新。
