点评:Now I’ve been to the HVG twice - most recently for the snow time and previously for the Christmas lights.
On our most recent visit we were there on the last Monday of school holidays, arriving at opening time and leaving by lunchtime. We headed straight to get an ice skating time slot, then did the tobogganing a number of times with no queues - it’s very short so I couldn’t imagine having to queue for a 10 sec ride - and then bought some very overpriced ride tickets and were literally the only ones on the ferris wheel, teacups, swings and merry-go-round. Finally the kids played on the dirty, slushy mound of fake snow. Was I impressed? Far from it, but considering we didn’t have to queue for anything it was an enjoyable day out considering our hotel in provided tickets in our room package - i imagine it would have been horrendous to have been there on a weekend.
Finally we wandered back to the exit through the gardens, that are there all year around - the storybook gardens are cute but in winter the other gardens obviously lacked at bit of colour.
The Christmas Lights were far more impressive - but I would say if you’re there on a busy night don’t bother with the rides - by the time you queue for ride tickets then queue for the rides there goes your night! We promised our kids a trip to Luna Park another day in lieu of rides - and probably cheaper too! And don’t plan to eat there- overpriced, long queues, average food options and finding somewhere to sit is challenging. Just plan to go and enjoy the lights and you won’t leave disappointed.
翻译:我已经去过HVG两次了——最近一次是为了雪季,之前一次是为了圣诞灯饰。
最近一次去的时候是学校假期的最后一个星期一,我们准时到达,中午就离开了。我们直接去那里,想去滑冰,然后又玩了好几次雪橇,完全不用排队——雪橇的行程很短,我简直无法想象为了10秒钟的雪橇而排队——之后我们买了几张价格高得离谱的游乐设施票,结果摩天轮、茶杯、秋千和旋转木马上就只有我们几个人。最后,孩子们在脏兮兮、泥泞的人造雪堆上玩耍。我印象好吗?远非如此,但考虑到我们什么都不用排队,考虑到酒店在房间套餐里提供了门票,所以这天还是很愉快的——我想如果周末去那里,那该有多糟糕啊。
最后,我们漫步穿过花园回到出口,花园一年四季都开放——童话花园很可爱,但冬天其他花园显然少了点色彩。
圣诞彩灯更令人印象深刻——但我想说,如果你在人潮拥挤的夜晚去那里,就别玩那些游乐设施了——等你排队买票,再去玩游乐设施的时候,你的夜晚就泡汤了!我们答应孩子们改天去月神公园玩,代替游乐设施——而且可能还更便宜!还有,千万别在那里吃饭——价格贵,排队长,菜品一般,找个地方坐下来都不容易。只要去欣赏灯光秀就行,你绝对不会失望而归。
