点评:We have been going to Lewis Farm for 4+ years now. Before this year I have rated 5 stars, and recommended the park to everyone I know. But unless something changes I will not be going back. This year was horrible. It’s obvious their greed for $$$ now far outweighs their want for positive experiences of their visitors and for the wellbeing of their employees. First of all, the base ticket price being $30 is insane. Having to pay extra on top of that for food and animal feed and extracurricular… just wow. Second of all, the tickets are OVERSOLD and this is due to gross oversight on behalf of the organizers! In previous years the tickets would be good for only 1 week/weekend. Now when you purchase tickets, you can go any time over a span of 2 months. There is no process in which to select which weekend you plan on going, nor see how many slots for a particular timeframe are left. Because of this, they have no idea HOW MANY people will be there on a particular weekend. This left the farm a literal zoo when we went. We were basically unable to enjoy anything as there were too many people everywhere! There is absolutely no reason Lewis Farm should have BOTH parking lots packed full for the size of their business. It is irresponsible and negligible, especially when their indoor store is nowhere near large enough to accompany that many people, nor are the “attractions” suited for it. The lines go out the door of their store to just buy donuts and ice cream! Other than that we waited 30+ minutes for 2 lattes, which is understandable for the amount of people they let in that place, but completely unfair to the employees that have to get berated by impatient folks because THEIR BOSSES don’t take into consideration the amount of customers they will need to serve. They need to either A) go back to how tickets used to be sold or B) make the park about 3x bigger to accommodate the amount of tickets they sell. Just absolutely disappointing and honestly a waste of $60. If you buy tickets make sure the day you go is either raining, or freezing cold so you’ll be able to enjoy it without a crowd.
翻译:我们已经去刘易斯农场四年多了。在今年之前,我一直给它打5星评分,还向所有认识的人推荐这个公园。但除非情况有所改善,否则我不会再去了。今年的情况糟糕透顶。显然,如今他们对金钱的贪欲已经远远超过了为游客创造美好体验以及保障员工福利的意愿。首先,30美元的门票价格简直离谱。除了这些费用外,还得额外支付食品、动物饲料以及课外活动的相关费用……真是让人惊叹。其次,门票严重超售了,这完全是主办方的严重疏忽所致!往年,门票仅适用于某一周或某个周末。而现在,买了票后你可以在两个月内的任意时间前往。然而并没有任何流程能让游客选择自己打算去的那个周末,也看不到特定时间段内还剩余多少名额。正因如此。他们根本不知道某个周末会有多少人前来。我们去的时候,农场简直变成了人山人海的“动物园”。到处都是人,我们根本没法好好享受任何项目!以路易斯农场的规模而言,完全没有理由出现两个停车场都挤得水泄不通的情况。这种做法极其不负责任且荒谬至极——他们的室内商店根本容纳不下这么多人,那些所谓的“娱乐项目”也根本不适合这么多人参与。人们排着长队从他们店里一直排到门外,就为了买甜甜圈和冰淇淋!除此之外,我们为了买两杯拿铁咖啡等了30多分钟。考虑到店里接待的顾客数量,这种等待时间也还算可以理解。但这对店员们来说实在不公平——因为老板们根本没考虑到需要服务多少顾客,导致店员们不得不挨那些没有耐心的顾客的责骂。他们要么得 A) 恢复以前的门票销售方式,要么就得 B) 把乐园面积扩大三倍左右,以容纳这么多的购票者。实在令人失望,说实话,这60美元花得完全不值。如果你要买票的话,务必选一个下雨天或者极冷的日子里去,这样就能避开人群,好好享受游玩过程了。
