点评:We were really disappointed by our experience tonight.
Our family of five arrived around 9:30 p.m. We knew Funplex was open until 11:00 p.m., and we were looking forward to spending the last hour and a half playing arcade games and grabbing a few snacks. We had no interest in the rides or water attractions.
Instead, we were told that every person in our family had to purchase a $35 wristband just to enter. That meant spending $175 before buying a single arcade credit or snack.
So we turned around and left.
One of the reasons we visit places later in the evening is because our daughter is non-speaking and autistic. Large crowds can be overwhelming for her, so we intentionally choose quieter times when she can enjoy herself more comfortably. We weren’t looking for a full day at the park. We simply wanted to enjoy the arcade during a less crowded time.
To add to our disappointment, the security guard at the entrance told us to “come back tomorrow.” Unfortunately, that completely missed the point. Tomorrow would have meant larger crowds, which is exactly what we’re trying to avoid.
From a business perspective, this pricing structure doesn’t make sense. The parking lot was nearly empty, yet instead of welcoming a family that was ready to spend money on arcade games, snacks, and drinks, you let that business walk right back out the door.
I completely understand charging for unlimited rides and attractions, but requiring a full admission wristband just to access the arcade is frustrating. An evening arcade-only admission during the last couple of hours you’re open would make your facility more accessible to families like ours while also bringing in additional revenue.
We left disappointed, and we won’t be back unless this policy changes.
翻译:今晚的体验真的让我们大失所望。
我们一家五口大约在晚上9点半到达。我们知道Funplex营业时间到晚上11点,本想利用最后一个半小时来玩街机游戏、买些零食。我们对那里的游乐设施和水上游乐项目并不感兴趣。
然而,工作人员却告诉我们,全家人每人都必须花35美元购买手环才能进入。这意味着在买到哪怕一个游戏币或一份零食之前,我们就得先掏出175美元。于是我们转身离开了。
我们选择在傍晚时分去这些地方,其中一个原因是我们的女儿不会说话且患有自闭症。人群密集的环境会让她感到不堪重负,所以我们特意挑选人少的时候去,这样她能更自在地享受时光。我们并不打算在公园里待一整天,只是想在人少的时候去游戏厅玩玩而已。
更让我们失望的是,入口处的保安让我们“明天再来”。可惜啊。这完全没抓住重点。如果定在明天,来的人会更多,而这正是我们试图避免的情况。
从商业角度来讲,这种定价策略毫无道理。停车场几乎空无一人,可你们非但没有欢迎那位打算花钱玩游戏、买零食和饮料的家庭,反而让他们直接转身离开了。
我完全理解收取无限次游玩和体验的费用这种做法。不过,仅仅为了进入游戏厅就需要佩戴完整的入场手环,这一规定实在令人沮丧。如果在营业时间的最后几个小时里允许只购买游戏厅入场券,就能让像我们这样的家庭更容易光顾贵场所,同时还能增加收入。
我们带着失望离开了,除非政策有所改变,否则我们不会再来了。
