点评:This museum gave our whole family hours of delight on a rainy day visiting NH! The museum itself is modest-sized: it has two floors, with a combination of interactive and purely educational exhibits, with an eye to children but containing plenty for adults too. Combined with the space show and use of the outdoor playground (just before the rain started), our family was here for nearly 4 and a half hours.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. (One staff member even found our son's lost umbrella!)
The planetarium space show we chose was the most common one: "Tonight's Sky." The woman who conducted this "live show" did a fantastic job; she knows so much, and presents everything in an engaging manner. My only mild critique is this: the audience was asked if we'd like to focus on 1) constellations and Greek mythology surrounding them, 2) the planets, or 3) dark matter. We were not interested in Greek mythology, but since that was mentioned as the first choice, it got the most votes. A better system may be to simply break the program into three shorter sections so no one feels outvoted. (This will leave less time for Greek mythology, which is not essential to astronomy.)
Overall, I highly recommend visiting here whether it's raining or not! You will learn so much and enjoy every minute of it. Oh, and your GPS may take you onto the campus of Concord University, so be sure to check the signs on the road!
翻译:在一个雨天里,这家博物馆给我们全家带来了数小时的欢乐时光!博物馆规模适中:共有两层,展品种类丰富,既有互动性强的项目,也有纯教育性质的展示。这些内容虽以儿童为受众,但同样也适合成年人欣赏。再加上太空主题展览以及室外游乐场的体验(就在下雨前),我们一家人在此逗留了近四个半小时。
工作人员十分热心友善。我们选择的天文馆太空节目是最常见的那个:“今夜的星空”。主持这场“现场演出”的女讲解员表现得非常出色;她学识渊博,讲解方式也极富吸引力。我唯一的一点小意见是:工作人员询问观众希望重点了解的内容是1)星座及其背后的希腊神话,2)行星,还是3)暗物质。我们对希腊神话并不感兴趣。不过,由于该选项被列为首选,因此获得了最多的投票。一个更好的方案或许是将整个节目分成三个较短的片段,这样就不会有人觉得自己的意见被忽视了。(这样一来,讲解希腊神话的时间就会减少,而这部分内容对天文学来说并非不可或缺。)
总的来说,无论是否下雨,我都极力推荐大家来此参观!你一定会学到很多知识,并享受其中的每一分钟。哦,另外,你的GPS可能会把你引到康科德大学的校园里哦。所以务必留意路上的标志哦!
