Dino Snores for Grown Ups- MAGICAL!
自然史博物馆的点评
点评：When the tickets for October’s Dino Snores for Adults came up, there was no way I wasn’t buying some for me and my partner as we both love dinosaurs.
We got the Camp Sequoia VIP tickets, which were £280pp and got you the following extras:
- fast track entry into the museum
- a camp bed each on the third floor of the Hintze Hall, overlooking Hope the Whale
- a free drink from the bar
- table service for dinner outside the main restaurant amongst the fossils
- a surprise little tote bag, with an eye mask and a mug
Anyone not with these tickets got yoga mats to sleep on the floor on the ground floor level under the whale, buffet service for dinner, and obvs no free gift etc.
I’ve seen some reviews bemoaning that you can’t leave your luggage in the museum in the day and come back for it at night. If you have a lot of luggage like we did, there are plenty of corner shops nearby who will take it in for you for a small fee, which is only the same as the cloakroom at the museum.
Walking past the main queue to get in, and a short line for security, we were taken up to our camp beds and given some time to settle. There was only one main accessible bathroom (the main bathrooms down on the ground floor), but we were told we could use the staff toilets to get ready for bed and such- very helpful!
After a short introductory talk by a man wearing the most excellent dinosaur shirt, we were served dinner.
I’ve seen some reviews suggest the food is poor, but maybe that’s the buffet experience. Ours was very nice! Lovely chunky ham hock terrine, followed by buttery soft beef and mash (only criticism being there wasn’t enough gravy!) and a nice rose petal and raspberry chocolate mousse. I don’t know what the veggie options were like.
After dinner, you essentially had 2 options: wander around the museum, or do the activities schedule set out for you. I’ve seen some reviews suggest this is regimented- it is not, and you can do whatever you liked. We spent the majority of the time taking in the museum and did 2 of the activities available- a talk (about how great sharks are), and a live animal show-and-tell. There was also a movie (Jurassic Park), drawing, board games, a guided activity trail and stand up comedy.
Going round the museum at night with about 10% of the people that would be in there during the day was magical! The majority of things were open I believe, but there were some special exhibitions, such as the David Attenborough exhibit and the super rare finds that were closed (we go to see those in the morning before the museum officially opened). Some of the exhibit areas that were more interactive were turned off, too- my partner was particularly disappointed about the earthquake simulator!
In regard to the talks/activities, I’d say it needs to be better signposted. We were given a map, but the auditoriums were still a challenge to find, particularly when you’re in a rush to not miss things! Just a little sign pointing you in the direction when you get to the right area would have been good.
I’ve seen some reviews say that these activities were very regimented and rushed- I don’t think that’s right per say, as they did have a schedule to keep to, but we did get shepherded away from the shark lady when we wanted to ask questions after the show. Maybe there could have been more time given for that?
Throughout the evening there was access to the bar where you could buy coffee, tea, soft drinks and alcohol throughout. Cakes and sandwiches were also on sale if you wanted.
We went to bed at around 2:30am, to the sounds of a harpist playing various tunes such as (of course) the Jurassic Park and Game of Thrones themes (remember that?!). Lights turned off at 3am, thank god for that eye mask!
I’d definitely also recommend earplugs for sleeping! There was one person (who was obviously in need of a CPAP machine) snoring so loudly and echoing through the hall that I thought it was my partner next to me! With my earplugs in and my eye mask on, though, I managed a couple of hours of sleep.
In the morning lights came on suddenly around 7am and the sounds of the Jurassic Park theme echoed through the halls. There was optional yoga in the scheduled for 6-7am, but we snoozed for a bit before getting our things together and cleaning our teeth. Again, thank god for that small staff bathroom!
Breakfast was in the main cafeteria, and was all buffet service. Full English, which was a decent portion, no real complaints although we didn't get the VIP service again. I can see why it may not have been possible, but there was no toast or cereals if you did want the full hot breakfast.
After breakfast, the gift shop opened and we all got 10% off with our Dino Snores lanyards. It would have been nice if there was a special t-shirt or something to commemorate us being there, but sadly there wasn’t. The gift shop was very good though, all the same.
There was a place in the basement of the building to leave our luggage, so we dropped some things off before going back up to check out some of the exhibits that weren’t open overnight. Then we left.
Overall, this was a magical experience and well worth the money. It was pretty much everything we had hoped it would be! Thank you so much NHM!

翻译：十月份成人恐龙呼噜节的门票发售时，我当然想给我和我的伴侣买几张，因为我们俩都很喜欢恐龙。
我们买了红杉营的VIP门票，每人280英镑，包含以下额外服务：
- 快速通道进入博物馆
- 在欣策厅三楼，每人一张行军床，可以俯瞰“希望鲸鱼”
- 酒吧免费提供一杯饮料
- 在主餐厅外的化石区享用晚餐的餐桌服务
- 一个惊喜小手提包，里面装着眼罩和马克杯
没有这些门票的游客只能在一楼的鲸鱼下方睡在瑜伽垫上，晚餐提供自助餐服务，当然没有免费赠品等等。
我看到一些评论抱怨说，白天不能把行李寄存在博物馆，晚上再回来取。如果你像我们一样行李很多，附近有很多街角小店可以帮你托运，只需支付少量费用，和博物馆的行李寄存处差不多。
穿过入场的长队和安检的短队，我们被带到了露营床上，并得到了一些时间安顿下来。主卫生间只有一个无障碍卫生间（主卫生间在一楼），但我们被告知可以使用员工卫生间准备睡觉之类的——非常有帮助！
一位穿着超酷恐龙衬衫的男士简短地介绍了一番后，我们享用了晚餐。
我看到一些评论说食物很差，但也许这就是自助餐的体验。我们的自助餐非常美味！美味的厚切火腿蹄膀冻，然后是黄油般柔软的牛肉土豆泥（唯一的缺点是肉汁不够！），以及美味的玫瑰花瓣覆盆子巧克力慕斯。我不知道素食选择怎么样。
晚饭后，你基本上有两个选择：在博物馆里闲逛，或者参加安排好的活动。我看过一些评论说博物馆的活动安排很死板——其实不然，你想做什么都可以。我们大部分时间都在博物馆里，参加了两个可选的活动——一场关于鲨鱼的讲座和一场动物表演。此外，还有一部电影（《侏罗纪公园》）、绘画、桌游、导览活动和脱口秀。
晚上参观博物馆，参观人数只有白天的10%，真是太神奇了！我记得大部分展览都开放了，但也有一些特别展览，比如大卫·爱登堡的展览和一些非常稀有的文物展，都关闭了（我们早上去的时候博物馆还没正式开放）。一些互动性更强的展区也关闭了——我的伴侣对地震模拟器特别失望！
关于讲座/活动，我觉得应该有更好的路标。我们拿到了地图，但礼堂仍然很难找，尤其是在赶时间以免错过精彩内容的时候！如果能有个小路标指引你到达正确区域的方向就更好了。
我看到一些评论说这些活动非常刻板和仓促——我觉得这种说法不对，因为他们确实有自己的安排。演出结束后，我们想问问题时，被鲨鱼女士拦住了。或许可以留出更多时间？
整个晚上都可以去酒吧，那里可以买到咖啡、茶、软饮料和酒。如果你喜欢，那里还有蛋糕和三明治出售。
我们凌晨两点半左右上床睡觉，听着竖琴演奏各种曲子，当然还有侏罗纪公园和权力的游戏主题曲（还记得吗？！）。凌晨三点关灯，感谢上帝给了我们眼罩！
我绝对推荐大家戴耳塞睡觉！有一个人（显然需要CPAP呼吸机）鼾声震天，回荡在走廊里，我以为是我旁边的伴侣！不过，戴着耳塞和眼罩，我还是睡了几个小时。
早上七点左右，灯突然亮了，侏罗纪公园主题曲在走廊里回荡。早上六点到七点有可选的瑜伽课，但我们小睡了一会儿，然后收拾东西刷牙。再次感谢上帝，员工洗手间很小！
早餐在主餐厅，全自助。全套英式早餐，份量还不错，虽然我们没能再次享受到VIP服务，但也没什么可抱怨的。我理解为什么这不可能，但如果你想吃全套热早餐，那里没有吐司或麦片。
早餐后，礼品店开门了，我们每个人都凭Dino Snores挂绳享受了九折优惠。如果能有一件特别的T恤或其他东西来纪念我们来过这里就好了，可惜没有。不过，礼品店还是很不错的。
大楼地下室有个地方可以寄存行李。所以我们先把一些东西放下，然后回去看看一些非夜间开放的展览。然后我们就离开了。
总的来说，这是一次奇妙的体验，物超所值。它几乎满足了我们所有的期望！非常感谢NHM！
