点评:My family and I visited Birch Aquarium as the last use of our Go City passes. The view from the tide pool area was stunning and provided a panoramic view of the ocean and local coastline. Overall the aquarium had a decent sampling of sea creatures from the west coast, but this is a small, regional aquarium. There were also some penguins from the Australia region. There was a good variety of fish from colder waters and warmer waters along with some jellyfish, sharks and seahorses to name a few. My 1-year old really enjoyed it.
A large part of the aquarium was devoted to the research work done by the university and Scripp’s. I found the layout confusing and not very interesting. For instance, the had a phone on the wall where you could listen to a nearly 20 min interview with an aquanaut. For a phone exhibit, that is ridiculous.
I will say Birch Aquarium is a good place for a 1 hour stop with young children. Compared to other aquariums I’ve been to, this one lacked organization and had a limited variety of sea creatures. I would not recommend making this a high-priority place to visit when in the San Diego area especially with how many great attractions there are.
翻译:我和家人用完Go City通票后,去了伯奇水族馆。潮汐池区域的景色令人叹为观止,可以饱览海洋和当地海岸线的全景。总的来说,水族馆里展示了不少来自西海岸的海洋生物,但毕竟它规模较小,属于区域性水族馆。馆内还有一些来自澳大利亚的企鹅。来自冷水和暖水的各种鱼类,以及水母、鲨鱼和海马等等,种类繁多。我一岁的孩子玩得非常开心。
水族馆的大部分区域都用来展示大学和斯克里普斯海洋研究所的研究成果。我觉得布局混乱,而且没什么意思。比如,墙上挂着一部电话,你可以收听一段近20分钟的水下探险家采访。作为电话展品,这简直太荒谬了。
总的来说,伯奇水族馆适合带小孩子来玩,停留一个小时左右是个不错的选择。与其他我去过的水族馆相比,这家水族馆缺乏条理,海洋生物种类也比较有限。考虑到圣地亚哥地区还有那么多其他精彩的景点,我并不推荐把它作为首选目的地。
