点评:We recently visited the Ecotarium which is almost an hour away from where we live; and while it had some highlights, I left feeling the admission price didn’t quite match the experience—especially with a toddler. For our family, it came out to around $55, and for a 2-year-old, there wasn’t a lot to engage with at this age. Many of the exhibits are better suited for older children who can read, explore independently, and understand the science concepts.
Both the planetarium and the train ride require an additional fee beyond admission. My toddler enjoyed the train and we thought the planetarium was nicely done, but it would’ve been nice if there was an option to just purchase tickets for those experiences instead of paying full admission.
We were excited to see the mountain lions, but learned they’re often resting high up and out of view. It was a little disappointing since that’s one of the main animal exhibits. The bubble exhibit was also not functioning properly during our visit.
Overall, the grounds are nice and I can see older kids having a great time exploring all the exhibits. For families with toddlers, though, the value just isn’t quite there. I’d recommend this more for kids 4–5 and up who can really interact with and appreciate the exhibits.
翻译:我们最近参观了距离我们住处近一小时车程的生态馆;虽然那里有一些亮点,但我觉得门票价格与体验不符——尤其是带着一个蹒跚学步的孩子。我们一家人花了大约55美元,对于一个两岁的孩子来说,这个年龄段没什么可玩的。很多展览更适合年龄较大的孩子,因为他们可以阅读、独立探索,并理解科学概念。
天文馆和火车都需要额外付费。我的孩子很喜欢火车,我们也觉得天文馆做得很好,但如果能提供只买门票体验这些项目,而不是全额入场就好了。
我们很高兴能看到美洲狮,但后来发现它们经常在高处休息,看不见。这有点令人失望,因为那是主要的动物展览之一。在我们参观期间,泡泡展览也没有正常运转。
总的来说,场地很不错,我能看到大一点的孩子在探索所有展品时玩得很开心。不过,对于有幼儿的家庭来说,性价比就略低了。我更推荐4-5岁及以上的孩子来这里,因为他们可以真正地与展品互动并欣赏。
