点评:First off I want to say that I truly appreciate what the staff and community does for the animals. My review in no way lessens that.
After our visit I would only recommend going at times when a tour is offered. Our entry time was at 3:30pm on a Thursday. My husband arrived with our granddaughter at 3pm. I wasn't able to get there until 3:30pm due to work. They weren't allowed to enter the sanctuary until the entire party arrived. We were the only other people in the park. I feel that they should've been allowed to start looking at the animals before I arrived. We were not on a tour. It was self-guided. It was cooler- upper 50's/lower 60's so most of the animals were not out. I would guess that only 1/3 of them were out (we may have seen a dozen different animals). The reptile house was closed for construction. We were told we could look in the window to try and see the alligator. Some of the walkways were also closed for construction so you could not get a good view of some of the animals beyond that. It was a very disappointing visit.
As I said, we took the self-guided tour to work with our schedules. What would be extremely helpful and appreciated would be signs telling you what type of animal it was. Since a lot of these animals are rescued, a little history about them would also have been nice to read about. Doesn't have to be fancy signs....could be something printed off and laminated.
What animals we did see looked like they were cared for. Their habitats were clean. I would do another visit but only as a tour.
翻译:首先,我要说我由衷感谢工作人员和社区为动物们所做的一切。我的评论丝毫没有减损我的感激之情。
参观之后,我建议只在有导览服务的时候去。我们的入场时间是周四下午3:30。我丈夫带着孙女下午3点就到了。我因为工作原因,直到下午3:30才到。直到所有工作人员都到齐,他们才被允许进入保护区。公园里只有我们几个人。我觉得他们应该在我到之前就被允许开始观察动物。我们没有参加导览服务,而是自由参观。当时气温比较凉爽——50多度/60度,所以大多数动物都没有出来。我猜只有三分之一的动物出来了(我们可能看到了十几种不同的动物)。爬行动物馆因为施工而关闭了。我们被告知可以透过窗户看看鳄鱼。一些步道也因施工而关闭,所以你无法很好地看到远处的一些动物。这是一次非常令人失望的参观。
正如我所说,我们选择自助游是为了配合我们的行程。如果能有一些标识告诉你是什么类型的动物,那将会非常有帮助,也非常值得感激。因为很多动物都是被救助的,所以如果能有一些关于它们的历史介绍就更好了。不必是花哨的标识……可以打印出来再过一遍。
我们看到的动物看起来都受到了照顾。它们的栖息地很干净。我会再去一次,但只是作为导游。
