点评:Going to talk about bad stuff first so you all know what to look out for. First of all, you have to reserve your time before showing up. You look on their website and frankly you'd think since absolutely nobody has bought tickets on a day, you'd be there by yourself. Absolutely not. I checked and bought our ticket an hour before driving up there which was 20ish minutes. When I got there, the entire parking lot was full and we had to park on the grass. There was a huge party of schoolkids in the zoo yelling and screaming. Not only that but also there was a lot of people like couples and individual families and such who were there by themselves that clearly were not with the school. I guess all they could have reserved a spot within that 20 min drive we took, but that's kinda sus. Which means either the reservation system is a huge useless scam, or they do not enforce the reservation system they purport to use and people were just coming up to the door and getting tickets. Also, if they have a school group coming in, their website should absolutely warn you, since they want you to reserve so the zoo isn't overcrowded at any time. Why even have the system at all then if they let you reserve when a school group is coming? Why not warn customers about it? It's a severe oversight. Potentially a great ally in planning a trip so you can avoid crowds, but completely wasted and useless.
For the record, I think if you want to avoid our fate, wait for at least 2 hours after opening time so that any school group will have gone. Of course if a school shows up, they'd have to go in the morning because kids would need to be back at school before 2-3 pm when school lets out. So you showing up at noon or later would probably avoid a huge crowd of kids.
The zoo is a good but small size. Very interesting that it's located in a high school. You won't run into the students or their cars. The students may come into the zoo at any time as it is in their curriculum to study. I think if you were at a relaxed pace, you could spend 45-60 min here. Really high quality animals, nice zoo.
翻译:首先谈谈不好的事情,这样大家就知道要注意什么。首先,您必须在出现之前预留时间。你浏览他们的网站,坦率地说,你会想,因为当天绝对没有人买票,所以你会自己去那里。绝对不。我在开车去那里前一小时检查并买了票,大约需要 20 分钟。当我到达那里时,整个停车场都满了,我们不得不把车停在草地上。动物园里有一大群学生在大喊大叫。不仅如此,还有很多人,例如夫妇和个人家庭等,他们自己在那里,显然不属于学校。我想他们都可以在我们开车 20 分钟内预订一个位置,但这有点奇怪。这意味着要么预订系统是一个巨大的无用骗局,要么他们没有执行他们声称使用的预订系统,人们只是上门取票。另外,如果他们有学校团体进来,他们的网站绝对应该警告你,因为他们希望你预订,这样动物园在任何时候都不会过度拥挤。如果他们让你在学校团体来的时候预订,为什么还要有这个系统呢?为什么不警告顾客呢?这是一个严重的疏忽。在计划旅行时可能是一个很好的盟友,这样你就可以避开人群,但完全浪费而且无用。
郑重声明,我想如果你想避免我们的命运,请在开放时间后等待至少 2 小时,这样任何学校团体都会消失。当然,如果学校出现,他们就必须早上去,因为孩子们需要在下午 2-3 点放学时回到学校。因此,您在中午或更晚出现可能会避开一大群孩子。
动物园很好,但规模很小。非常有趣的是它位于一所高中。你不会碰到学生或他们的车。学生们可以随时进入动物园,因为这是他们课程中的学习内容。我想如果你心情轻松的话,你可以在这里待45-60分钟。真正高品质的动物,不错的动物园。
