点评:We were last here about 10 years ago and decided to come back to see what the post-renovation Biodome looks like. On the surface, it doesn't seem to be a huge change from the previous version - I suspect that much of the renovation was about making things work better behind the scenes. It is still divided into four habitats - tropical rainforest, Laurentian forest, Gulf of Saint Lawrence, and polar regions - the last of these being two displays with penguins from the southern polar region and puffins from the Labrador coast.
The habitats are well-designed and give a realistic sense of being there, so to speak. It is nice to be able to see flora and fauna in context. If you're there in the afternoon, try to catch the penguin feeding where one staff member feeds the penguins individually and another staff member tells you all about them.
We've always enjoyed this as a couple but it would be especially good for kids. One thing we noticed with the re-design is that it's now possible to do the habitats in any order. The traditional order is still the best I think - tropical forest, then Laurentian forest, then Labrador coast and then the penguins.
翻译:我们上一次来这里大约是10年前,这次决定故地重游,看看翻新后的生物圈是个什么样子。从表面上看,它与原来的版本并无太大区别——我猜测这次翻新主要是为了改善后台的运作。园区依然划分为四个生态区:热带雨林、劳伦蒂安森林以及圣劳伦斯湾。极地地区——最后两个部分分别展示了来自南极地区的企鹅以及来自拉布拉多海岸的海鹦。
这些栖息地展区设计精良,可以说能让人产生身临其境的真实感觉。能够在一个自然环境中看到各种动植物真是很棒的体验。如果您在下午前往,不妨看看企鹅喂食环节:一名工作人员会逐一喂食企鹅,另一名工作人员则向游客详细介绍有关它们的各种知识。我们俩作为一对伴侣一直都很喜欢这个环节,它对孩子们来说尤其有益。在重新设计后,我们注意到现在可以随意安排各个栖息地的参观顺序。不过我认为传统的顺序仍然是最好的——先热带雨林,然后是劳伦琴森林,接着是拉布拉多海岸,最后是企鹅区。
