Lovely experience, good to support
Wales Ape and Monkey Sanctuary的点评
点评:Booked meet and greet with the chimps as my son requested it for his 25th birthday.
Had to rearrange as booked in December but the weather forecast was terrible, they were very good about changing the date and said it would be better to postpone for better weather.
Took my 1 year old granddaughter and 10 year old godson so they could walk around the sanctuary.
There was enough animals and the enclosures looked fine. Nothing too far away so you had good views of the animals.
Our meet and greet was supervised by the lovely Nicola who was friendly and happy to answer our questions. Took us through the usual safety (no fingers in the cages etc).
You could tell she cared for the animals and gave us lots of information about their history and personalities. We thanked her but she said thanks to us for contributing to the sanctuary.
There is a small gift shop (ice lollies, soft drinks and coffees) in the reception area which doubles up as a used books, toys and trinkets shop).
Absolutely amazing experience to get up close and meet these lovely animals (gentle despite their past traumas).
If you are taking children please teach them to respect these lovely animals, do not let them tease or shout at the animals (saw this a few times and it saddened me).
Definitely recommend a visit for an educational day out and to experience the wonderful animals and to support a worthy cause.
翻译:我儿子25岁生日时要求与黑猩猩见面,所以预订了。
由于12月预订了,所以不得不重新安排,但天气预报很糟糕。他们很友好地更改了日期,并说最好等天气好转再安排。
我带着我1岁的孙女和10岁的教子在保护区里散步。
动物数量足够多,围栏看起来也不错。距离不是很远,所以可以很好地看到动物。
我们的见面会由可爱的Nicola负责,她很友好,很乐意回答我们的问题。她带我们通过了常规的安全检查(例如,不能把手指伸进笼子里)。
看得出来她很关心动物,并向我们介绍了很多关于它们的历史和性格的信息。我们向她道谢,但她也感谢我们为保护区做出的贡献。
接待处有一家小礼品店(出售冰棍、软饮料和咖啡),同时也是一家二手书、玩具和小饰品店。
近距离接触这些可爱的动物(尽管它们过去曾遭受过创伤,但性格温顺),绝对是一次绝佳的体验。
如果您带孩子来,请教导他们尊重这些可爱的动物,不要让他们戏弄或对它们大喊大叫(我见过几次这种情况,感觉很难过)。
强烈推荐您来这里进行一次寓教于乐的一日游,体验这些奇妙的动物,并支持一项有意义的事业。
