点评:I’d like to start with the pricing. Children aged 1 are charged the full kids’ price of £12.99, while under-1s go free. Our 1-year-old was charged the full rate, but she wasn’t able to take part in most activities. She was too young to join in with the animal feeding sessions and could only safely play in the small toddler area of the soft play. The main play area was too busy with older children, and she could have easily gotten hurt.
Considering how limited her experience was, £12.99 feels quite expensive—especially for families visiting with multiple children. Adults are £6.50 each, and carers only receive £1 off that price. Again, this could catch visitors off guard, especially when the website is down, as it was during our visit. Without access to that information in advance, it puts families—especially those needing to plan ahead or budget—at a disadvantage.
Overall, it’s a decent small farm with some nice features, but the pricing structure doesn't reflect what’s realistically accessible for very young children or carers. Greater transparency and more flexible pricing (such as a reduced toddler rate) would go a long way in making visits fairer and more inclusive.
翻译:首先说说价格。1岁儿童需支付12.99英镑的儿童全价,1岁以下儿童免费。我们1岁的孩子支付了全价,但她无法参加大多数活动。她太小,无法参加动物喂食环节,只能在软体游乐场的幼儿区安全地玩耍。主游乐区挤满了年龄较大的孩子,她很容易受伤。
考虑到她有限的游玩经验,12.99英镑的价格感觉相当昂贵——尤其是对于带多个孩子的家庭来说。成人票价为每人6.50英镑,而陪护人员只能享受1英镑的优惠。同样,这可能会让游客措手不及,尤其是在网站瘫痪的时候,就像我们去的时候一样。如果无法提前获取这些信息,家庭——尤其是那些需要提前计划或制定预算的家庭——将处于不利地位。
总的来说,这是一个不错的小型农场,有一些不错的设施,但其定价结构并没有反映幼儿或看护者的实际承受能力。提高透明度和更灵活的定价(例如降低幼儿价格)将大大有助于提高参观体验的公平性和包容性。
