点评:We visited here recently as part of a two-week-long road trip from our home in southeastern PA out to visit UT’s national parks. We love nature and wildlife, and we were very impressed with this museum. There were numerous large dioramas of animals from Africa, Asia, and North America, all in active poses and naturalistic settings. One room featured large insects, butterflies, moths, beetles, katydids, etc., which are always fun to see up close; a large display case contained water fowl and other birds.
There is a theater here that was showing videos about hunters and their various accomplishments in their field; we would have loved seeing some nature-oriented videos shown there instead. Then it would be a nice spot to sit and relax in the air-conditioning a bit while learning more about the various animals on display here.
This site reminded us of the Bryce Wildlife Museum near Bryce Canyon National Park (both of which we visited last summer) and the much larger Wonders of Wildlife Museum in Springfield, MO (which we visited several years ago). If you enjoy viewing mounted wildlife specimens from around the world, check these places out!
This museum was easy to find (it is located at the Dixie Convention Center) and had plentiful free parking and a reasonable admission charge. There is a nice gift store here, as well as a tourist information center manned by a helpful staff member. All in all, we spent one hour here and enjoyed our visit very much.
翻译:我们最近来到了这里,这是我们从宾夕法尼亚州东南部的家出发去参观犹他州国家公园的为期两周的公路旅行的一部分。我们热爱自然和野生动物,这个博物馆给我们留下了深刻的印象。有许多来自非洲、亚洲和北美的大型动物立体模型,它们都摆出活跃的姿势和自然主义的环境。其中一间房间里有大型昆虫、蝴蝶、飞蛾、甲虫、螽斯等,近距离观察总是很有趣;一个大展示柜里有水禽和其他鸟类。
这里有一个剧院,正在播放有关猎人及其在该领域的各种成就的视频;我们希望看到那里播放一些以自然为导向的视频。那么,这将是一个在空调中坐下来放松一下的好地方,同时了解更多关于这里展出的各种动物的信息。
这个网站让我们想起了布莱斯峡谷国家公园附近的布莱斯野生动物博物馆(我们去年夏天参观了这两个博物馆)和位于密苏里州斯普林菲尔德的更大的野生动物奇观博物馆(我们几年前参观过)。如果您喜欢观看来自世界各地的野生动物标本,请前往这些地方!
这个博物馆很容易找到(位于迪克西会议中心),并且有充足的免费停车位和合理的入场费。这里有一家不错的礼品店,还有一个由乐于助人的工作人员管理的旅游信息中心。总而言之,我们在这里度过了一个小时,非常享受这次访问。
