点评:We visited on a breezy August day - my two children (6 and 3) and my parents (concessions) - and we all were thoroughly impressed with the site. Due to poor planning on our part, we arrived at midday and went straight to have a picnic. Initially we were disappointed with the options for where we could eat (some dirty looking tables, to be expected around birds!) but we found a more sheltered area towards the otters. Thankfully we managed to catch the pond dipping before it closed at 1pm - this was my 6 year-old’s highlight of the day so be sure to catch it before it closes. My parents were really impressed with the wide variety of birds to view and enjoyed using the guidebook to identify what we saw as we walked around. The children loved the dragonfly hunt, spotting sculptures hidden around the park. There were so many areas for the children to play in and explore. The new paddle and play area was particularly busy which put my children off - but it would be lovely outwith school holidays. The minibeast area felt like a hidden gem and my children could paddle the entire length of the stream without anyone else around. We stayed until 4pm but would have easily spent another hour or more exploring - we didn’t manage to do any boat trips or see the otters - so we look forward to coming back again!
翻译:我们在一个微风习习的八月天参观了这里——我的两个孩子(6岁和3岁)和我的父母(优惠价)——我们都对这里印象深刻。由于计划不周,我们中午才到,然后直接去野餐。起初,我们对可供选择的用餐地点感到失望(有些桌子看起来很脏,在鸟类周围很正常!),但我们找到了一个更隐蔽的地方,远离水獭。谢天谢地,我们赶在池塘下午1点关闭前欣赏了它的景色——这是我6岁的孩子一天中最精彩的时刻,所以一定要在它关闭前欣赏。我的父母对这里种类繁多的鸟类印象深刻,他们喜欢边走边用指南识别我们看到的鸟类。孩子们喜欢捉蜻蜓,寻找隐藏在公园各处的雕塑。公园里有很多地方供孩子们玩耍和探索。新建的戏水和游乐区特别拥挤,让我的孩子们有点儿望而却步——但如果是在学校假期之外,这里会很不错。小型动物区就像一块隐藏的宝石,我的孩子们可以划着船游过整条小溪,周围没有其他人。我们一直待到下午4点,但本来可以再花一个小时甚至更长时间探索的——我们没能乘船出海,也没能看到水獭——所以我们期待着再次回来!
