A beautiful and fascinating place offering a variety of activities and a unique local experience
Belle Isle Park的点评
点评：A beautiful, unique, and mostly free location where you can easily spend several hours taking in the sights and participating in a wide range of fun and enriching activities. Perfect for a day trip with something for everyone to enjoy, especially if you are a visitor to the city seeking local experiences. Belle Isle offers a brief escape from the bustle and noise elsewhere in Detroit as well as rich natural, educational, and cultural experiences and resources. While visiting my friend, a Detroit native, over the summer, we spent a whole afternoon experiencing the sprawling state park and only visited about half of the amenities typically open to the public. Unfortunately, Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory was closed for renovations at the time. We did not get the opportunity to visit Belle Isle Nature Center or Dossin Great Lakes Museum either, though I believe both were open to the public that day and we simply ran out of time. We had an amazing experience visiting Belle Isle Aquarium and strolling through the outside Oudolf Garden. As I would later learn, Belle Isle Aquarium is considered "America's oldest original aquarium" since it opened its doors more than 120 years ago. The architecture was breathtaking, with the aquarium housed in an ornate, well-preserved historical building unlike any museum I had ever seen. There was an impressive variety of aquatic creatures available to see there, and plenty of friendly and helpful volunteers eager to provide in-depth education about all of them. The gardens were equally incredible to take in, covering a large surface area that is easily accessible to everyone. Finally, we took a leisurely walk down the wooden walkway, looking in awe at the nature and equally beautiful human-made landmarks all around us. While we could not enter the conservatory that day, we still admired the beauty of the greenhouse and the surrounding areas visible from the outside. Another remarkable landmark I remember from that day is the Nancy Brown Peace Carillon (the bell tower outside the aquarium). Finally, we ended our visit relaxing on a perfectly placed park bench overlooking the Detroit River. Overall, I was extremely pleased with our experience and am eager to go back and visit the renowned locations we did not get to that day. Conveniently, public transportation is easy to use getting to and from Belle Isle State Park, with the bus pulling right up to the curb outside to load passengers, and visiting the park was free for pedestrians as well. I know there is a fee for driving or parking at Belle Isle State Park, so I would recommend going on foot/on the bus if possible. Looking back on my visit now, the only drawbacks were the limited hours the park is open and the discomfort from squeezing a sizeable crowd into confined spaces where everyone is moving in different directions. I don't know if crowds are always a noticeable issue, or if it was just an inevitability of visiting the park on a Saturday afternoon in the summer. I look forward to going back and anticipate an equally positive (if not even better) experience at the conservatory, museum, and nature center I have not yet gotten to see firsthand. I am excited to see the renovations of the buildings as well as the ongoing expansion of the gardens outside we witnessed during our visit. From what I experienced so far, I would gladly recommend Belle Isle State Park to anyone spending a nice day in Detroit.
翻译：这是一个美丽、独特且大部分免费的地方，您可以轻松地在这里花几个小时欣赏美景，参加各种有趣且充实的活动。非常适合一日游，每个人都可以享受其中的乐趣，特别是如果您是来这座城市寻求当地体验的游客。贝尔岛提供了一个短暂逃离底特律其他地方的喧嚣和噪音的机会，以及丰富的自然、教育和文化体验和资源。在夏天拜访我的朋友（底特律本地人）时，我们花了一整个下午的时间体验这个庞大的州立公园，只参观了通常向公众开放的设施的一半左右。不幸的是，安娜斯克里普斯惠特科姆温室当时因装修而关闭。我们也没有机会参观贝尔岛自然中心或多辛大湖博物馆，尽管我相信这两个地方当天都向公众开放，我们只是没有时间。我们参观了贝尔岛水族馆，漫步在外面的奥多夫花园，度过了一段美妙的时光。我后来才知道，贝尔岛水族馆自 120 多年前开放以来，就被认为是“美国最古老的原始水族馆”。水族馆的建筑令人叹为观止，它坐落在一座华丽、保存完好的历史建筑中，与我见过的任何博物馆都不一样。那里有各种各样的水生生物可供观赏，还有许多友好而乐于助人的志愿者渴望提供关于所有生物的深入教育。花园同样令人惊叹，占地面积很大，每个人都可以轻松进入。最后，我们悠闲地沿着木质人行道散步，惊叹于大自然和周围同样美丽的人造地标。虽然那天我们不能进入温室，但我们仍然欣赏温室的美丽以及从外面可以看到的周围地区。那天我记得的另一个引人注目的地标是南希·布朗和平钟楼（水族馆外的钟楼）。最后，我们在一个位置完美的公园长椅上放松，俯瞰底特律河，结束了我们的参观。总的来说，我对这次经历感到非常满意，并渴望再次回去参观我们那天没有去到的著名景点。方便的是，往返贝尔岛州立公园的公共交通很方便，巴士直接停在外面的路边载客，行人参观公园也是免费的。我知道在贝尔岛州立公园开车或停车需要付费，所以如果可能的话，我建议步行/乘坐巴士。现在回想起我的这次访问，唯一的缺点是公园开放时间有限，而且将大量人群挤在狭窄的空间里，每个人都朝着不同的方向移动，这让人感到不舒服。我不知道人群是否总是一个明显的问题，或者这只是夏天周六下午参观公园的必然现象。我期待着回去，期待在温室、博物馆和自然中心获得同样积极（甚至更好）的体验，我还没有亲眼见过。我很高兴看到建筑物的翻新以及我们在访问期间目睹的外部花园的不断扩建。从我目前的体验来看，我很乐意向在底特律度过美好一天的任何人推荐贝尔岛州立公园。
