点评:My young relatives love butterflies. BFLY Laval did not disappoint. There was a significant number of butterflies flying freely in three or four domed rooms from three different areas of the world (including Canada) to keep them entertained. One of them really wanted to see a monarque bleu and there were plenty. There are a few info placards about the butterflies, though not a significant amount of information. The kids didn't mind, since the butterflies were beautiful and they were a bit young to care about the details. They were happy to carry around the spongy "flower" supplied to attract butterflies.
The film at the start was not of interest to the kids (another friend warned me about that: "le film est plate"), and we stuck around to watch it for about two minutes. The idea behind the film to have butterfly characters encourage certain personality traits was a good one; I guess the kids weren't into it, and I admit the film didn't really educate about the butterflies themselves. A short film about the growth of the butterfly might've been more interesting to them.
Regarding time spent: my friend and his young kids had a great time and spent 30 min. We took up the full hour. Really depends on your preferences.
Cost-wise: I've seen a lot of criticism on this site on the cost for any of the three BFLY installations. I wholly disagree. Spending 14$ each for one hour is in my view fair, given the care and feeding of the butterflies, the personnel, etc. (Note: we did not spend to go to the salle des miroirs or the inflatable play area.)
I definitely recommend BFLY Laval to anyone who would enjoy butterflies, not just those who are with young kids.
翻译:我的小亲戚们都很喜欢蝴蝶。BFLY Laval 没有让我失望。有相当多的蝴蝶在三四个圆顶房间里自由飞翔,它们来自世界三个不同地区(包括加拿大),让孩子们乐在其中。其中一位真的很想看蓝帝王蝶,而且蝴蝶的数量也很多。这里有一些关于蝴蝶的信息牌,但信息量不大。孩子们并不介意,因为蝴蝶很漂亮,而且他们年纪还小,不关心细节。他们很乐意随身携带用来吸引蝴蝶的海绵状“花朵”。
开头的电影对孩子们来说没什么兴趣(另一个朋友警告我:“le film est plate”),我们留在那里看了大约两分钟。这部电影背后的想法是让蝴蝶角色鼓励某些性格特征,这是个好主意;我想孩子们不喜欢它,我承认这部电影并没有真正教育他们了解蝴蝶本身。一部关于蝴蝶成长的短片可能会让他们更感兴趣。
关于花费的时间:我的朋友和他的孩子们玩得很开心,花了 30 分钟。我们花了整整一个小时。这真的取决于你的喜好。
成本方面:我在这个网站上看到了很多关于三个 BFLY 设施成本的批评。我完全不同意。在我看来,考虑到对蝴蝶的照顾和喂养、工作人员等,每个人一小时花费 14 美元是公平的。(注意:我们没有花钱去镜子厅或充气游乐区。)
我绝对会向任何喜欢蝴蝶的人推荐 BFLY Laval,而不仅仅是那些带着小孩的人。
