点评:This is a great living history museum with both costumed re-enactors who pretend that they are in the 1620s (in the Plimoth village) and won't break character, and with historians who will answer your questions and tell you about the history as a person living in the current time (in the Plimoth village and the Patuxet Village). There is also a craft center that shows you staff working on crafts and restorations for the sites.
However, the quality of these three sites depends greatly on the number of re-enactors and staff on hand at the time that you visit. If you visit off season or on a day that isn't very busy, there may be fewer staff there to do demonstrations or to talk with. So, you can feel a little let down.
Another site is the Plimoth Grist Mill, which is near the current downtown Plymouth on the site where the original grist mill originally stood. They show you how the mill grinds corn, but the do actual corn grinding on Saturdays. But it's interesting even if you're there on another day. You can buy the corn they mill in the gift shop.
The final site is the Mayflower II, which is an accurate reproduction of the original Mayflower, which you can go on board and see what the experience was like for the pilgrims.
I recommend getting the admission that includes all of these sites. If you're visiting Plymouth, it's definitely worth doing all of them. They are all interesting to see.
We spent about 5 hours doing all of these sites, but it depends on how long you linger.
I think this would be a good place to visit with kids, because all of the sites are more of an experience in seeing things, walking through things, and talking to people telling you about what you're seeing. It's not the kind of place where there is a lot of stopping and reading things, which kids don't tend to like.
翻译:这是一座很棒的活态历史博物馆:既有身着古装的表演者装作自己身处1620年代(在普利茅斯村中),并且始终不打破角色设定;也有 Historians 会回答你的问题,以当代人的视角向你讲述历史(同样在普利茅斯村和帕图塞特村中)。此外还有一个工艺中心,可以看到工作人员正在为这些遗址进行手工艺制作与修复工作。
不过……这三个景点的体验质量在很大程度上取决于您到访时现场的表演者及工作人员数量。如果您在非旅游旺季或游客较少的日子前往,可能只有很少的工作人员来进行演示或与游客交流,这样可能会让您略感失望。
另一个景点是普利茅斯磨坊,它位于现今普利茅斯市中心附近,就在最初那座磨坊的原址上。那里会向游客展示磨坊是如何研磨玉米的。不过他们确实会在周六进行玉米研磨。即便你在其他日子去,也很有意思。你可以在纪念品商店购买他们磨好的玉米。
最后一个参观点是“五月花号二号”,这是对原版“五月花号”的精确复制品,你可以登上船去体验一下当年朝圣者们的经历。
我建议购买能参观所有这些地点的通票。如果你要去普利茅斯旅游,绝对值得把所有这些景点都逛一遍。这些景点都很有趣,值得一看。
我们花了大约5个小时参观所有这些地方,不过具体时长也取决于你停留的时间长短。
我觉得这里是个带孩子游览的好去处,因为这些景点更多是让游客去观看、体验,还能与工作人员交流以了解所见之物。这里并不需要长时间驻足阅读说明牌,而这正是孩子们所喜欢的。
