点评:We went to see the animals. We saw animals. Sad, because this park has a lot of potential but I don't see an effort to make it better. Yes, this zoo has been in the news about concerns over animal welfare and visitor safety. From what I saw, the animals appear cared for and the area was safe. A number of areas were closed down. Don't do this unless you lower the price accordingly. We paid for a visit to the entire zoo, not just some sections. There were no snack bars open in the afternoon. There is a train, but it hasn't run for years. We didn't even get a map - I had to pull one out of the map recycle pile. Seeing animals in a zoo can be tricky. At times, animals do not want to know and they retreat into their inner quarters. Well they have feelings too. We saw the adult giraffe, but the baby chose to be inside. We saw the big male lion, but Mrs. Lion was hiding somewhere in the back. We got to see the rhino have dinner. The meerkats and penguins provided a lot of fun to watch their antics. We saw mountain lions crossing a bridge between their two areas. We saw one sea lion who seemed depressed (hey, what do I know?). Could not find the other one. Some of the water in the animal areas had a green tint - not sure what that was about. The windows into the sea lion enclosure were dirty. We didn't see the monkeys since we were told that they take them inside to feed them and give them medicine near closing time.
Overall, this was a very nice park, but it is clear to me that the management just doesn't seem to care. Get off your duff and do what it takes to make this a first class attraction. It certainly has the facilities to be that.
翻译:我们去看动物了。我们确实看到了动物。很遗憾,因为这个公园潜力巨大,但我没看到任何改进的举措。没错,这个动物园因为动物福利和游客安全问题上了新闻。就我所见,动物们似乎受到了妥善的照顾,周围环境也很安全。一些区域已经关闭。除非你相应地降低票价,否则千万别这么做。我们花钱参观了整个动物园,而不是只参观几个区域。下午没有小吃店营业。动物园里有一列火车,但已经好几年没开了。我们甚至连地图都没拿到——我不得不从地图回收堆里翻出一张。在动物园里看动物可不是件容易的事。有时,动物们不想知道真相,它们会躲进自己的小窝里。其实它们也有感情。我们看到了成年长颈鹿,但它的小家伙却选择待在里面。我们看到了大雄狮,但雄狮妈妈却躲在后面的某个地方。我们还看到了犀牛在吃晚饭。观看猫鼬和企鹅的滑稽动作非常有趣。我们看到美洲狮穿过连接它们两个区域的桥梁。我们看到一只海狮看起来很沮丧(嘿,我知道什么?)。找不到另一只。动物区的一些水泛着绿色——不知道是怎么回事。海狮围栏的窗户很脏。我们没有看到猴子,因为我们被告知,他们把猴子带进去喂食和喂药,直到快关门了。
总的来说,这是一个非常漂亮的公园,但我明显感觉到管理层似乎并不关心。别再装傻了,尽一切努力把这里打造成一流的景点。它当然有这样的设施。
