点评:We arrived at Friends of the Living Desert around noon. The temperature was 95-100, so we had sunscreen and water. We wore short sleeves, shorts/capris, hats, and hiking boots/shoes. There are paved roads, so as long as you're comfortable, you should be okay. Once inside, we were greeted and paid $10 for an adult and $5 for a child. The gentleman was polite and extremely helpful. He gave us a map, explained the trail, and a shortcut in case the heat became unbearable. We took our time and enjoyed every bit of it. The main building has restrooms, a touch table for the kids to explore, and other educational exhibits. Outside are some restrooms. We used the highly recommended ones next to the reptile exhibits. The women’s facility was easily accessible and clean. There's a picnic area, so once we were done, we retrieved our food from the car and enjoyed a relaxing outdoor picnic. Before leaving, we got a few things from the gift store. If you're an active duty service member or a retiree, you can receive a veteran 10% discount. Overall, this is a nice place to enjoy nature and the animals of the desert. It was not crowded and a great break away from busy attractions. We spent about three hours there since we were not in a rush. We loved it and were happy we got in the car before a thunderstorm hit.
翻译:我们中午左右到达了“活沙漠之友”(Friends of the Living Desert)。气温在95-100华氏度(约35-38摄氏度),所以我们带了防晒霜和水。我们穿着短袖、短裤/七分裤、帽子和登山靴/鞋。道路是铺好的,所以只要你感觉舒适就没问题。进门后,我们受到了热情的接待,成人票价10美元,儿童票价5美元。这位先生很有礼貌,非常乐于助人。他给了我们一张地图,解释了路线,并为我们提供了一条捷径,以防天气太热。我们慢慢地享受着这里的每一刻。主楼里有卫生间、供孩子们探索的触摸桌和其他一些教育展览。外面也有一些卫生间。我们使用了爬行动物展览旁边强烈推荐的卫生间。女性设施方便进出,也很干净。那里有一个野餐区,所以我们吃完饭后,就从车里取了食物,享受了一顿轻松的户外野餐。离开之前,我们在礼品店买了一些东西。如果您是现役军人或退休人员,您可以享受退伍军人九折优惠。总的来说,这里是欣赏自然风光和沙漠动物的好地方。这里人不多,是远离喧嚣景点的绝佳休息场所。由于时间不紧,我们在那里待了大约三个小时。我们非常喜欢这里,而且很庆幸在雷雨来临之前赶上了车。
