点评:Having visited this particular castle numerous times since being a child myself, I must say I was thoroughly disappointed today.
The castle is a wonderful piece of history and spans such a large period of time with so much intact that it is definitely worth a visit. Unfortunately, in my opinion a lot of the family fun elements have been ripped out of it with the move away from more traditional displays of "how things were".
Nothing really but empty rooms and information boards. With the demise of flambards, I was surprised to see that none of the items from there had been acquired for Pendennis.
Today we visited with my two girls aged 9 and 3 and honestly it was a very dull experience for them. I love the history, but there were no dress up boxes, no "scenes" where I could point out what people wore or how their life was different. No cooking utensils in the kitchen for me to talk about how difficult life might have been trying to lift big pots into the fire. There were no real examples of any period in history for me to point to and pique their interest in. I am reasonably familiar with the history of the castle, but they aren't and it's hard to get them interested in information boards and empty rooms.

这座城堡本身就是一段精彩的历史,它跨越了漫长的历史时期,而且很多遗迹都保存完好,绝对值得一游。可惜的是,在我看来,随着城堡逐渐摒弃了传统的“昔日风貌”展示方式,许多原本适合家庭参观的乐趣也随之消失。
城堡里除了空荡荡的房间和信息牌,几乎什么都没有。火焰壁炉的消失让我惊讶的是,彭德尼斯城堡竟然没有收藏任何相关的物品。
今天我们带着两个女儿(一个9岁,一个3岁)一起参观,说实话,对她们来说,这是一次非常无聊的体验。我热爱历史,但城堡里没有角色扮演的道具,也没有任何“场景”可以让我指出当时人们的穿着或生活方式的差异。厨房里也没有烹饪用具,让我可以和她们讲解当时人们把大锅搬到火上是多么艰难。我手头没有任何历史时期的例子可以拿出来激发他们的兴趣。我对城堡的历史还算了解,但他们并不了解,所以很难让他们对信息板和空荡荡的房间产生兴趣。
