点评:We booked a Cold Blooded VIP experience which included entry for 2. Honestly, the best day I have ever had at a zoo, and I’ve been parenting for 19 years. All of the keepers and volunteers were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Several stopped to chat while we were looking looking at the animals, and my 13 yr old loved this. The park is small but there are enough animals to you keep busy for a few hours. Nice cafe doing a lot of trade.
For our VIP experience our keeper, Jack, introduced us to 7 reptiles including going inside the enclosures and feeding the snake-neck turtles, holding an African Giant Toad, and several iguanas. As our experience started at 3.30 and the park closed at 4pm we basically spent an hour in the closed zoo meeting the reptiles which was amazing. Jack was so knowledgeable, patient and generous with his time, and great with my son. The Zoo Director, Scott, joined us and spent ages explaining the tarantula to us. If you love animals this is THE place to find like-minded people, 100% recommend. Cannot say enough good things about this zoo. What a gem!
翻译:我们预订了“冷血动物VIP体验”,该体验包含两名入场名额。说实话,这是我19年为人父母生涯中在动物园度过的最美好的一天。所有的饲养员和志愿者都极其友善且知识渊博。我们在观看动物时,有好几位还停下来和我们聊天,我13岁的孩子特别喜欢这一环节。公园虽不大,但里面的动物种类足够多,能让人忙上几个小时。园内的咖啡馆也很不错,生意兴隆。
在我们参与的VIP体验中,负责我们的饲养员叫杰克。这次体验由他带领我们认识了7种爬行动物:我们走进饲养区喂食长颈龟,还亲手抱了非洲巨蟾蜍以及好几只鬣蜥。我们的体验从下午3点半开始,而动物园4点就闭园了,因此我们实际上是在闭园后的动物园里与这些爬行动物亲密接触了一个小时,体验实在棒极了。Jack知识渊博、耐心周到且慷慨地抽出时间陪伴我们,对我儿子也照顾有加。动物园主任斯科特也加入了我们,花了很多时间向我们讲解有关狼蛛的知识。如果你喜欢动物,这里绝对是结识志同道合之人的绝佳去处,强烈推荐!我对这家动物园赞不绝口。真是个宝地啊!
