点评:Not sure I know enough superlatives to adequately describe what an amazing and wonderful place is the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park. Reciprocal AHS membership, which is greatly appreciated.
We started out taking the $8 per person credit-card only Tram half-hour ride with clear, interesting audio around the park. Highly recommend for learning about sights and getting a feel for the park.
Then we headed to explore the Japanese Garden and, of course, more sculptures including the magnificent Leonardo da Vinci's Horse brought to gigantic life. Note the two smaller versions in the complex that surely give the visually impaired a sense of the statue’s magnificence.
The Children’s Garden is delightful. The 69,000 square foot Welcome Center is a huge room where the Information Desk is located. Gaze around you to appreciate Utopia —the faces created by Jaume Plensa. Then go down the hall to view a 20-minute movie about the making of these sculptures.
Interior to the building are also tropical gardens and even one dedicated to carnivorous plants. Additionally there are special exhibit displays. Currently there is the contemporary faces in all different mediums.
Plan many hours here to appreciate the special sculptures in their garden setting.
翻译:我不确定我是否掌握了足够的赞美之词来充分描述弗雷德里克·梅耶尔花园和雕塑公园是多么令人惊叹和美妙的地方。非常感谢AHS互惠会员资格。
我们首先乘坐每人8美元的有轨电车,只需刷卡即可享受半小时的公园内清晰有趣的音频。强烈推荐您了解景点并感受公园的氛围。
然后我们前往探索日本花园,当然还有更多雕塑,包括栩栩如生的宏伟的列奥纳多达芬奇的马。请注意建筑群中两个较小的版本,它们一定能让视障人士感受到雕像的宏伟。
儿童花园令人赏心悦目。占地69,000平方英尺的接待中心是一个巨大的房间,咨询台就位于此处。环顾四周,欣赏乌托邦——由Jaume Plensa创作的面孔。然后沿着大厅走下去,观看一部20分钟的关于这些雕塑制作的电影。
建筑内部还设有热带花园,甚至还有一个专门种植食肉植物的花园。此外,这里还设有特别展览。目前展出了各种不同材质的当代雕塑。
不妨预留一些时间来欣赏花园中这些独特的雕塑。
