点评:We happened to arrive on the Isle of Man the day before Storm Amy, and once the storm passed, we peeked out from our cozy lodging wondering what would be open the next day. Curragh’s was just ten minutes away, so we hopefully drove over.
Though they had suffered some wind damage from the storm with a few branches down, a very gracious woman let us in to the gift shop while she got an update on whether we’d be able to view the park that day. It was cold and windy outside, and she offered us coffee, which we declined but were grateful for the offer!
By the way, the gift shop has some of the most enchanting toys and games I’ve seen lately! It was a very pleasant place to wait while they assessed the condition of the park.
Once the park was cleared for visitors, we headed out. As we made our way around the park, we noticed how healthy all of the animals and birds looked. The exhibits were clean and spacious, and the walking trails were beautiful. The trails have lots of informative signage. My favorite animals were the Capybaras, which I’d never seen up close before. It was also a thrill to see baby flamingoes!
This is a very nice park, well worth a visit for anyone. We would happily come back again.
翻译:我们恰好在艾米风暴来临的前一天抵达了马恩岛。风暴过后,我们从舒适的住处探出头,好奇第二天哪些地方会开放。库拉赫动物园离这里只有十分钟车程,于是我们满怀希望地开车过去。
虽然动物园在风暴中遭受了一些破坏,几根树枝被吹断,但一位非常和蔼的女士还是让我们进了礼品店,同时她也在询问当天是否能参观动物园。外面又冷又刮风,她给我们倒了咖啡,我们婉拒了,但非常感谢她的好意!
顺便说一句,礼品店里有一些我最近见过的最迷人的玩具和游戏!在他们评估动物园状况的时候,这里真是一个令人愉快的等候场所。
动物园确认可以开放后,我们就出发了。在园里漫步时,我们注意到所有的动物和鸟类看起来都很健康。展区干净宽敞,步行道也很漂亮。步道沿途有很多信息丰富的指示牌。 My favorite animals were the Capybaras, which I’d never seen up close before. It was also a thrill to see baby flamingoes!
