点评:This place is just...odd. Upstairs seems to be a computer lab for kids, and I cannot comment on that area because we visited the basement, which I assume is aimed at children too small for the computer lab, whilst they are waiting for older siblings.
It's £2 per person - so adults have to pay too. I've tried to write this review with the consideration that it's just £2 to get in - but if you have a few kids it's suddenly quite expensive for not a lot.
The basement is really tired and smells strongly of damp. Very steep steps to get down, so access is difficult if you have any mobility challenges. No toilets either - so if your little one suddenly needs the toilet you'll have to rush them back upstairs into the shopping centre.
When we arrived there was a room themed to dinosaurs, with some dinosaur models on the walls and a tuff tray full of dinosaur toys. Around the edge of the room were various fossils and items stuck to bits of tatty paper. Similarly tatty bits of paper with dinosaur facts are stuck to the walls in various places. Some kind of light projection/sensor was in the room, but it wasn't working.
The second room had two light and music boxes on the walls. Neither worked properly and there was nothing to explain what they were or what they were supposed to do.
The third and final room has three giant bubble tubes that light up with big controls. Limited instructions to get this to work, although my child did seem to like watching and playing with it.
I've given it two stars because we stayed for about 45 min, but a good portion of that was my child drawing a picture using a poor selection of crayons and maybe 2 pencils, which we could have done at home for free.
I left feeling like I'd been conned somehow.
If you have small children, you'll get better activities at the local library and spend the £2+ on a coffee.
翻译:这个地方真是……奇怪。楼上似乎是儿童电脑实验室,我无法评论那个区域,因为我们参观了地下室,我猜是针对那些太小而无法使用电脑实验室的儿童,他们正在等待哥哥姐姐。
门票是每人 2 英镑 - 所以成年人也必须付费。我试着写这篇评论,考虑到入场费仅为 2 英镑 - 但如果你有几个孩子,那么门票突然变得相当昂贵,而门票却不多。
地下室真的很破旧,散发着浓重的潮湿气味。台阶非常陡峭,所以如果你行动不便,进出会很困难。也没有厕所 - 所以如果你的小孩突然需要上厕所,你就得赶紧带他们回到楼上的购物中心。
我们到达时,有一个以恐龙为主题的房间,墙上挂着一些恐龙模型,还有一个装满恐龙玩具的托盘。房间的边缘有各种化石和物品粘在破旧的纸片上。同样,墙上各处都贴着一些写有恐龙知识的破纸片。房间里有某种光投影/传感器,但无法正常工作。
第二个房间的墙上有两个灯和音乐盒。两者都无法正常工作,也没有任何解释它们是什么或应该做什么的信息。
第三个也是最后一个房间有三个巨大的泡泡管,它们会发光,还有很大的控制装置。虽然我的孩子似乎确实喜欢看它和玩它,但操作说明有限。
我给它两颗星,因为我们待了大约 45 分钟,但其中很大一部分是我的孩子用少量的蜡笔和大约 2 支铅笔画了一幅画,而这些画我们可以在家里免费画。
我离开时感觉自己不知怎么被骗了。
如果你有小孩,你可以在当地的图书馆找到更好的活动,花 2 英镑以上买一杯咖啡。
