Great mine train, staff all friendly & helpful but the chocolate activity was shambolic and the quay artefacts run down.
Mine Train Adventure Morwellham Quay的点评
点评:I really went for the mine train (which I don't remember at all from my previous visit 20 years ago. It was excellent, the mine was nicely decorated and the driver was really friendly.
Other staff were also friendly and helpful: the shop where you checked in on arrival, the blacksmith busy making things and keen to show off his work, and "Mrs. Claus" supervising the chocolate making activity. I timed my visit to the chocolate activity just right when it was empty (I wasn't that bothered about doing it, but thought I might as well). On return 15 minutes later to collect my creation as advised there was an enormous queue, some people waiting to do the activity and others waiting to collect. Then a girl was sorting through dozens of bags to find our creations, I suspect most were peoples' who had given up waiting earlier in the day! It took about 20 minutes to collect the creation that had taken about 5 minutes to make!
The historig quay area is quite a mess, the odd interpretation board or plaque, one about the canal outlines an interesting soundign walk which is closed off. Other display boards in buildings with nothing in them except for the odd bit of junk. The boat is in a bad state and the overhead railway lines are partially collapsed. The historic quay was I think always a bit of a niche attraction, and the vast amount of effort and funds needed for its upkeep are probably not viable, hence effort are focussed on the mine train and the new soft play facility, which is a new, easily maintained building.
翻译:我真的很想坐矿山火车(我完全不记得 20 年前我来过那里)。那趟火车很棒,矿井装饰得很漂亮,司机也很友好。
其他工作人员也很友好和乐于助人:抵达后办理入住手续的商店、忙着制作东西并热衷于展示自己作品的铁匠,以及监督巧克力制作活动的“圣诞夫人”。我恰好在巧克力活动空无一人的时候参观了它(我并不那么在意,但我想我也可以这样做)。15 分钟后,我按照建议回来领取我的作品,那里排了很长的队,一些人在等着参加活动,另一些人在等着领取。然后一个女孩在几十个袋子里找我们的作品,我怀疑大多数人都是当天早些时候放弃等待的人!我们花了大约 20 分钟才拿到这个花了大约 5 分钟制作的作品!
历史码头区相当混乱,奇怪的解说板或牌匾,一个关于运河的,概述了有趣的声音步道已被封闭。建筑物内的其他展示板除了一些奇怪的垃圾外什么都没有。船的状况很糟糕,架空铁路线部分倒塌。我认为历史悠久的码头一直是一个小众景点,维护它所需的大量精力和资金可能不可行,因此精力集中在矿车和新的软体游乐设施上,这是一座新的、易于维护的建筑。
