点评:There is no denying that from a geological wonder this is a must see, but my goodness….I now fully understand the need for a national park service because this privately owned cave is so mass commercialized in a way that is just sad. From the weird cardboard cutout of Lassie in the middle of the cave to the giant toy statues of cowboys representing Jesse James who they claim repeatedly was once here (with very little actual historical evidence to back incidentally) to the truly mind numbing “God Bless America” video they show at the end while scrolling through pictures of dudes surfing and other things that have sero to do with Meramec Caverns or Missouri or anything other than clipart patriotism. Again, I love geological wonders of the world and Meremac Caverns is definitely one of them so I had to give it a baseline 3 stars but the company running this do themselves and you as a guest no favors by how they do this
翻译:不可否认,从地质奇观的角度来看,这绝对是必看景点,但天哪……我现在完全理解国家公园管理局的必要性了,因为这个私人洞穴被如此大规模地商业化,真是令人唏嘘。从洞穴中央怪异的莱西纸板人像,到代表杰西·詹姆斯的巨型牛仔玩具雕像,他们反复声称杰西·詹姆斯曾经来过这里(顺便说一句,几乎没有任何实际的历史证据可以佐证),再到最后播放的令人麻木的“上帝保佑美国”视频,一边滚动浏览着冲浪爱好者的照片,以及其他与梅勒梅克洞穴、密苏里州或其他任何与爱国主义无关的东西。再说一次,我喜欢世界地质奇观,梅勒梅克洞穴绝对是其中之一,所以我必须给它打三星,但运营这家洞穴的公司这样做,对他们自己和作为客人的你来说都没有任何好处。
