点评:We visit magna often as my son (SEN) has a keen interest in steel works and gantry cranes. Many visits and always left positive reviews for both the centre and outdoor areas, sen splash sessions etc. Always brilliant. Once we went we saw people down in the big melt area and thought maybe they do offer behind the scenes tours of some sort. After a bit of scouting online I found steel tours. These aren't openly advertised and I did message magna for info with a prompt and helpful reply so thankyou. We learned its volunteer run by ex steel worker staff and relies on their availability. Advised today might be the best day. We arrived and asked on arrival and they explained what we needed to do. As we went upstairs we saw a chap in orange high viz asking us about our day, very polite and we said we were really hoping for a steel tour. He was the gentleman running it and couldn't have been more helpful. After the big melt we spent the next 30-45 minutes with him. Stories, explanations and answering questions. Seeing it all up close was genuinely fascinating. We felt like VIPs! We can't thank him enough for such a detailed tour, and making my sons day! A brilliant experience and one that added so much value to our magna trips. We would do it again. I know it might not be possible, as it is entirely dependant on volunteers, but I would happily pay for this tour. A few pounds contribution. Maybe this could help pay for restoration or repairs. My son asked about the crane over the big melt and when we heard how much repair for this costs.. wow... I'd happily pay even for the volunteers time to be honest. A donation of sorts. Absolutely brilliant. Well worth it and recommended. There was only me and my son doing it today which was fabulous of course for feeling like VIPs, but I'd certainly recommend it and ask for a small donation as its well worth it. As a mum if I'm honest I get fed up having visited so many times. Of course I do it for my son because it's his interest. But this tour made it enjoyable all over again today. Thanks so much magna and the volunteer guide for an excellent tour! 10/10. Now he can dream about maybe one day.. accessing all those steps outside etc and other restricted areas of the building. A special ticketed tour... we can live in hope. He'd love it! 😂 and maybe I'll just come and work there as we spend more time at magna than the staff! 😂😂
翻译:我们经常去Magna,因为我的儿子(SEN)对钢铁制造和门式起重机有着浓厚的兴趣。每次去之后,我们都会对场馆内部、户外区域以及儿童戏水区等地方给予好评。每次体验都棒极了。有一次我们去的时候,看到有人在大熔炉区域活动,于是心想他们或许会提供某种幕后参观服务。后来我在网上稍作查找,便发现了Steel Tours这个旅游服务。这些活动并未公开宣传,不过我给Magna发消息询问了相关信息,他们回复迅速且很有帮助,在此表示感谢。我们了解到该活动是由曾从事钢铁行业的工作人员自愿组织的,活动能否举行取决于他们的空闲时间。对方建议今天或许是最佳的参观日期。我们到达后询问了情况,他们便说明了我们需要做些什么。上楼时,我们看到一位身穿橙色反光服的男士在询问我们今天过得如何,他非常有礼貌;我们便告诉他我们真心希望能参观钢铁厂。他就是负责带我们参观的向导,真的热心又乐于助人。在冰川大量融化之后,我们又和他一起度过了30到45分钟。他给我们讲故事、做讲解,还回答了我们的各种问题。能如此近距离地观察这一切真是令人着迷。我们感觉自己就像贵宾一样!对于他如此细致的讲解以及让我儿子开心不已的经历,我们真是感激不尽!这是一次极棒的体验,也为我们的旅行增添了无数乐趣。我们一定会再来的。不过我也知道这可能不太现实,因为这一切都完全依赖志愿者的付出。不过我很乐意为这次游览付费。出点钱也没关系,也许这些钱能用来资助修复或维修工作。我儿子问起了那个大型熔炉上方的起重机,当我们得知修复它的费用有多高时……天哪……说实话,我甚至愿意为志愿者们付出的时间付费。这算是一种捐款吧。真是太棒了!绝对物有所值,强烈推荐。今天只有我和儿子两个人参与,当然,这样的待遇让我们感觉自己就像贵宾一样呢。不过我绝对推荐这个游览项目,也希望大家能慷慨解囊捐点钱,因为这真的值得。说实话,作为一位母亲,由于带孩子来过太多次,我都有点厌烦了。当然,我这么做都是为了儿子,毕竟这是他的兴趣所在。不过今天这次游览又让整个过程变得有趣起来。非常感谢Magna以及那位热心的志愿导游,带来了如此精彩的讲解!满分10分,我给10分。现在儿子也可以憧憬着有朝一日能……走进大楼外那些楼梯区域以及其他平时不对外开放的地方了。真希望能有那种需要购票才能参加的特别导览啊……我们可以满怀希望地生活。他一定会喜欢的!😂 说不定我也会去那里工作呢,毕竟我们在Magna度过的时间比员工们还多!😂😂
