Tower is Tall, but the Museum tells All
Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial的点评
点评:The imposing memorial is worth a visit to the top, but it can take planning as there are limited spaces for the elevator up. As soon as you get off the ferry or bus, go to the visitors’ center to make a reservation for an elevator trip to the top. It is $10.00, but if you have any of the National Park passes, it is free. The center opens at 10:00 am. Be aware elevator access requires a walk up a steep staircase, then a one-minute ride to the top. The deck is open-air so weather can be a factor of whether you should do this or not. It is windy up there, but on a nice day the view is spectacular. On a bitter cold, foggy, or rainy day, it may not be worth the effort.
Back at the visitor’s center, admission is free for the small museum. Do not miss the short film about Perry’s major battle of the War of 1812, it is very compelling and informative.
If need be, you can do the observation deck first and come back later for the museum. The Wednesday I arrived most of the deck tours were sold out due to a huge tour group that hogged all the spaces. Since I arrived at opening, they sneaked me in on the first trip up which I appreciated.
As one of the tallest structures in any national park, it is an imposing reminder of sacrifices made to secure freedom.
翻译:这座雄伟的纪念碑值得一游,但需要提前做好计划,因为电梯座位有限。下渡轮或下巴士后,请立即前往游客中心预订电梯登顶。票价为10美元,但如果您持有国家公园通票,则免费。游客中心上午10点开放。请注意,乘坐电梯需要先爬上一段陡峭的楼梯,然后再乘坐一分钟即可到达顶部。电梯平台是露天的,因此天气可能会影响您是否应该乘坐电梯。虽然那里风很大,但天气晴朗时,景色壮丽。但在严寒、雾气弥漫或阴雨绵绵的日子里,可能就不值得费力了。
回到游客中心,小型博物馆免费入场。千万不要错过关于佩里在1812年战争中的重要战役的短片,它引人入胜且内容丰富。
如果需要的话,你可以先去观景台,然后再回来参观博物馆。我到的那个星期三,由于庞大的旅行团占据了所有座位,大部分观景台的门票都卖光了。因为我到的时候是开放时间,所以他们第一次上去就让我偷偷溜进去了,我很感激。
作为国家公园里最高的建筑之一,它雄伟地提醒着人们为了争取自由而做出的牺牲。
