点评:I had a couple hours in the afternoon to use up between hotel check out and the conclusion of my husband's conference, so I took my kids to Fun Spot. I had heard from locals that it's a great local option over the big theme parks.
Fun Spot was pretty great, for what it was. Free parking, free admission if you don't plan on riding rides, also a discounted adult pass if you only are going on rides with your kid who is too young to ride alone. The whole place was small, maybe the area of a handful of city blocks. And on the Sunday afternoon when we went, the place was quiet enough that we never waited more than a few minutes to get onto a ride.
As we were only there for a couple hours, the cashier recommended the 4 ride pass for my kids, and the companion pass for me.
Not all rides were open, but the "big" rides that most kids want (the roller coasters and the go carts) were open. My daughter, who is not a big roller coaster fan, had a harder time finding kiddie rides that she actually wanted to go on, and she watched the go carts and didn't even want to try those with me driving. However, the place was small enough that I felt fine leaving my 10 year old son to go on rides by himself while I went on the Ferris wheel or the merry go round with my 8 year old.
There are a bunch of food options available throughout the park. They were definitely more affordable than Disney prices! Most of the places offered souvenir cups with discounted refills, but there were also water stations set up throughout with free cups.
I'd definitely come back if I had a few hours to burn and the kids didn't want to go swimming. Hopefully at some point, my daughter will change her mind about roller coasters, though!
翻译:下午退房到我丈夫会议结束之间还有几个小时的空闲时间,于是我带孩子们去了Fun Spot。之前听当地人说,相比大型主题公园,Fun Spot是个不错的本地选择。
Fun Spot确实不错,就它本身而言。停车免费,如果不打算玩游乐设施,也可以免费入场。如果只是陪着年纪太小不能独自乘坐的孩子,成人票也有折扣。整个乐园很小,大概也就几个街区那么大。我们周日下午去的,人不多,几乎不用排队,几分钟就能玩上。
因为我们只待了几个小时,收银员建议我给孩子们买四次游玩套票,给我买一张陪同票。
虽然不是所有游乐设施都开放了,但孩子们最想玩的“大型”项目(过山车和卡丁车)都开放了。我女儿不太喜欢过山车,所以很难找到她真正想玩的儿童游乐设施。她看着卡丁车,甚至都不愿意让我开。不过,这个地方不大,所以我很放心地让10岁的儿子自己去玩,而我则带着8岁的儿子去坐摩天轮或旋转木马。
整个园区有很多餐饮选择,价格比迪士尼便宜多了!大多数地方都提供纪念杯,续杯可以享受折扣,而且园区内还设有饮水站,提供免费水杯。
如果我有几个小时的空闲时间,孩子们又不想去游泳,我肯定会再来的。希望有一天,我女儿能改变对过山车的看法!
