点评:We visited the park for a birthday treat for my grandson who was turning 3 on the day of the visit
We were a party of 4 adults and 2 children (ages 3 and 2) we had a great time and we all really enjoyed the zoo and activities. However, it all changed when we decided to visit the pizzeria! We settled down in the ‘empty’ restaurant and got out snacks and milk for the 2 year old while we decided what to order. We were promptly approached by a staff member and told that unless our children had allergies they could not eat their own food in the restaurant. We explained that we would all be having pizzas but the little one was a picky eater and had his own snacks and milk, apparently, this is against the rules so we had to pack up and go outside and let the children eat on a bench, whilst the adults forfeited their meals. We decided to cut the visit short as the day was ruined and we had to go elsewhere to find food.
I do appreciate the thinking behind this ruling especially at busy times, however it’s winter the restaurant had one other person in it, we were buying meals (in fact pizza had been promised to the 3 year old birthday boy ) and yet for the sake of one little 2 year old boy, who had paid full price to be in the park, who needed his own snacks and milk we were all made to feel embarrassed and not wanted.
This is not at all family friendly and to add insult to injury after I contacted the park for comment I have had no response !
翻译:我们去公园为我孙子庆祝生日,那天他刚满 3 岁
我们一行 4 名成人和 2 名儿童(分别为 3 岁和 2 岁)玩得很开心,我们都非常喜欢动物园和活动。然而,当我们决定去披萨店时,一切都变了!我们在“空荡荡的”餐厅坐下,拿出零食和牛奶给 2 岁的孩子,同时决定点什么。一名工作人员立即走近我们,告诉我们,除非我们的孩子有过敏症,否则他们不能在餐厅吃自己的食物。我们解释说,我们都会吃披萨,但小家伙很挑食,他有自己的零食和牛奶,显然,这是违反规定的,所以我们不得不收拾东西走到外面,让孩子们在长凳上吃,而大人则没饭可吃。我们决定缩短参观时间,因为这一天的行程已经毁了,我们不得不去其他地方找吃的。
我确实很欣赏这项裁决背后的想法,尤其是在繁忙时段,但是当时是冬天,餐厅里还有另一个人,我们正在买餐(事实上,已经答应给 3 岁生日男孩买披萨),然而为了那个 2 岁的小男孩,他已经支付了全价来公园,他需要自己的零食和牛奶,我们都感到很尴尬,不受欢迎。
这根本不适合家庭,更糟糕的是,在我联系公园征求意见后,我没有得到任何回复!
