点评:Lots of positives: I really enjoyed this museum, and went back a week later. And will go again. It's great. So much do see. Some really good interactive stuff. The planetarium was excellent, and I appreciated being able to watch a show without having to buy an additional ticket. Good for both kids and adults, while some of it feels a bit worn, there is certainly plenty to see and do. Museum store is great: a bit overpriced as all museum stores are, but there are fun gifts and souvenirs for all ages. And... it's walking distance to the Long Island Children's Museum, so you can do two great places in a day!
Few negatives: the planetarium show didn't start on time, so we sat through 10 minutes of repetitive commercials. Urgh. At one point in our first visit, they closed both female bathrooms for cleaning at the same time... not ideal! There are arcade games/simulators right at the heart of the museum - it would make life easier for parents/families if these were either off to the side somewhere, or set to play free. My kids were not happy that I hadn't come armed with quarters!
*IMPORTANT one last* They close for private events during normal opening hours - so, before you go, check their website for day-to-day opening times, etc. We have now been there twice during regular opening hours only to find it inaccessible because of special events.
翻译:优点多多:我非常喜欢这家博物馆,一周后又去了一次,以后还会再去。它真的很棒,有很多东西可看,还有一些很棒的互动体验。天文馆很精彩,而且不用额外买票就能观看演出,这点我很满意。这里老少皆宜,虽然有些地方略显陈旧,但绝对有很多东西可以看,有很多活动可以做。博物馆商店也很棒:虽然像所有博物馆商店一样价格偏高,但有很多适合各个年龄段的有趣礼物和纪念品。而且……它离长岛儿童博物馆很近,步行即可到达,所以一天之内可以去两个很棒的地方!
缺点:天文馆的演出没有准时开始,所以我们不得不忍受了10分钟重复的广告。真是烦人。在我们第一次参观的时候,他们同时关闭了两个女洗手间进行清洁……这可不太妙!博物馆中心位置就有街机游戏/模拟器——如果能把它们放在旁边某个地方,或者设置为免费游玩,对家长/家庭来说会方便很多。我的孩子们很不高兴我没带硬币!
*最后一点很重要* 博物馆在正常开放时间内会因私人活动而关闭——所以,去之前一定要查看他们的网站,了解每日开放时间等信息。我们已经两次在正常开放时间前往,却发现因为举办特别活动而无法参观。
