Taking an Elevator to the Top of the Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial
Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial的点评
点评:Great trip. We arrived at approximately 10 am and made our way towards the entrance of the visitor center. We were able to purchase timed tickets for 10:45 am to view the top of the International Peace Memorial. After buying our tickets, we decided to explore the indoor exhibits. There were multiple informational plaques and artifacts out for display, that went over the War of 1812 and the events that transpired that day. There was also a short 15 minute movie playing throughout the day that went into detail about Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s contributions to the War of 1812 and how the war originated in the first place. There was a small gift shop and restrooms available inside the visitor center as well. After viewing the indoor exhibits, we made our way outside to the International Peace Memorial. The attendant checked our tickets and we waited in a short line to take the next available elevator to the top of the monument. Once at the top, we were able to enjoy picturesque views of Lake Erie and even Canada. There were several more informational plaques at the top of the monument that talked about the War of 1812 and the various landmarks visible at the top of the monument. There were multiple park rangers at both the visitor center and International Peace Memorial that were willing to answer any questions that we may have had.
Tip: I recommend spending 2 hours here if you truly want to see everything.
翻译:很棒的旅行。我们大约在上午 10 点到达,然后朝游客中心的入口走去。我们购买了上午 10:45 的定时票,可以参观国际和平纪念碑的顶部。买完票后,我们决定参观室内展览。有多个信息牌匾和文物可供展示,讲述了 1812 年战争和当天发生的事件。全天还播放了一部 15 分钟的短片,详细介绍了海军准将奥利弗·哈扎德·佩里对 1812 年战争的贡献以及战争的起源。游客中心内还有一家小礼品店和卫生间。参观完室内展览后,我们走到外面的国际和平纪念碑。服务员检查了我们的票,我们排了一小段队,等着乘坐下一班电梯到达纪念碑的顶部。到达顶部后,我们可以欣赏到伊利湖甚至加拿大的美景。纪念碑顶部还有几块信息牌,讲述了 1812 年战争和纪念碑顶部可见的各种地标。游客中心和国际和平纪念馆都有多位公园管理员愿意回答我们可能遇到的任何问题。
提示:如果您真的想看遍所有景点,我建议您在这里待 2 个小时。
