点评:My experience today didn't seem to compare with other reviews. We arrived about 10:15. We waited about 2 hours for the bus tour. After about a 10 minute ride, we got off at the first stop. There wasn't much to see there. There is a cone from a rocket engine that shoots theatrical fog and makes noise. But, then it was an hour wait to get back on the bus. There was second stop but we didn't get off because we didn't want to wait another hour to get back to the exhibits. The bus operation were poorly managed and buses seems to run sporadically. Ride time on the bus itself is 30-35 total minutes and drives past the assembly building and they show a video that is informative. The rest of the time is waiting in line. Half of the day was invested in this. I wish I had skipped the bus tour.
I think the time invested in the bus tour would have been better spent at the exhibit area. I was told the VR stuff was interesting, but by the time the bus ride was over, those slots were full. The shuttle exhibit was interesting but it starts with a 10 minute movie. That area only has seats in the back against the wall. They ask everyone else to sit on the floor. Asking adults to sit on the floor was a bit much. Put some benches in.
There are hands-on exhibits again which were interesting. However, much of the technology was out of service or not functioning correctly. For the visitor center of one of world's leading technology organization, they should be embarrassed by the state of their simulator exhibits. There are plenty of them if only they worked.
The $15 parking fee is simply annoying. Just build the fee into the ticket. It isn't like anyone is parking there for anything other reason that to go the visitor center.
I visited the visitor center about 30 years ago and had fond memories. But I wasn't impressed with today's experience. I felt it was a lot of wasted time and wasn't a good value.
翻译:我今天的体验似乎与其他评论不太一样。我们大约10:15到达。等了大约两个小时才等到观光巴士。大约10分钟后,我们在第一站下车。那里没什么可看的。只有一个火箭发动机的锥形装置,会喷出一些烟雾,还会发出声响。但是,之后我们又等了一个小时才重新上车。虽然还有第二站,但我们没有下车,因为我们不想再等一个小时才能回到展区。巴士运营管理很差,而且似乎班次很不规律。巴士本身的行驶时间总共只有30-35分钟,会经过组装大楼,播放一段信息丰富的视频。剩下的时间都花在了排队上。我们半天的时间都浪费在这上面了。我真后悔参加了观光巴士。
我觉得把这些时间花在观光巴士上,还不如直接去展区逛逛。我听说VR体验项目很有趣,但等我坐完巴士,那些名额都满了。穿梭巴士展览很有意思,但开头要放10分钟的短片。那个区域只有靠墙的座位,其他游客都得坐在地上。让成年人坐在地上有点过分了,应该放些长椅。
这里还有一些互动体验项目,挺有意思的。但是,很多设备都坏了或者运行不正常。作为世界领先科技公司的游客中心,他们的模拟器展品状况实在令人失望。数量那么多,如果能正常使用就好了。
15美元的停车费简直太坑了。直接把停车费加到门票里不就好了?反正也没人会为了去游客中心以外的其他目的把车停在那里。
我大约30年前来过这个游客中心,印象很好。但今天的体验让我很失望。我觉得浪费了很多时间,而且不值这个价。
