点评:We have visited Santa for the past 2 years at the Deer Centre. This year I missed out on Santa so opted for the Mrs Claus. The Mrs Claus was really out of character,; young (20 year old?), nose pierced with long blonde hair. She did engage with the children but it was obvious it was a set reel of questions and she didn’t care for the responses.
They have also moved the grotto to within the park this year. It didn’t work. One of the main reasons we have been coming back each year was for the ‘snow’. There was none this year, my children were gutted. The ‘ice- rink’ was absolutely filthy and as a previous review said the boots were broken, old and rusty. The fire pit where you could listen to a story and toast a marshmallow was OK, but I’m not sure what was being burnt on the fire as the marshmallows tasted chemically - to the point my daughter wouldn’t eat them! A train ride from the checking in reception to the entrance of the grotto, literally lasted 15 seconds. The young lady at the train stop before the tunnel was lovely and could show some of the others how to speak to children!
The park itself is in dire need of a revamp. Toilets full of urine and not flushing away, play equipment slippery and dangerous in wet weather, no animas on display except for a handful of deer at the entrance and some birds of prey.
翻译:过去两年我们都去鹿园拜访圣诞老人。今年我没见到圣诞老人,所以就去了圣诞老奶奶那里。圣诞老奶奶完全不像圣诞老人,很年轻(大概20岁?),鼻子上戴着鼻环,留着一头金色长发。她确实和孩子们互动,但很明显她问的都是事先准备好的问题,而且对孩子们的回答并不在意。
今年他们还把圣诞老人洞穴搬到了公园里。结果并不理想。我们每年都来这里的主要原因之一就是为了看“雪”。今年根本没有雪,孩子们非常失望。“溜冰场”脏得一塌糊涂,而且正如之前的评论所说,那里的靴子又旧又生锈。可以听故事、烤棉花糖的篝火坑还不错,但我不知道里面烧的是什么,因为棉花糖有一股化学味——我女儿一口都没吃!从登记处到洞穴入口的火车车程,真的只有短短15秒。隧道入口前车站的那位年轻女士非常和蔼可亲,她真应该教教其他工作人员怎么跟孩子们说话!
公园本身亟需翻新。厕所里满是尿液,却冲不干净;游乐设施在雨天湿滑危险;除了入口处几只鹿和一些猛禽之外,没有其他动物可供观赏。
