点评:When visiting a park with that many locations, it's tempting to do one more extra trail, and shorten the stop at a visitor centre to just washrooms. In case of Algonqiun, that would be a miss, as their visitor centre includes an amazing museum.
It's not even limited to natural history - covers local history as well - but the natural part is what's done outstandingly. They really tried to explain the ecology of different areas of the park, not just put a moose for taking nice pictures. Set aside at least 30 min for the museum alone.
Speaking of education: the park has also a great set of small books, sold for 50 cents each, extremely well done scientifically, covering the same ecological topics but in more detail.
Things not so great:
1) the tower is not really a tower, there's no view, but the trail is short, ok to spend 5 min to put a checkmark;
2) a much better eatery is farther west, called Lake of 2 rivers cafe.
翻译:参观一个有这么多景点的公园时,人们很容易想再多走一条路,把在游客中心停留的时间缩短到只去洗手间。如果是阿冈昆,那就错过了,因为他们的游客中心有一个很棒的博物馆。
它甚至不仅限于自然历史——还涵盖了当地历史——但自然部分做得非常出色。他们真的试图解释公园不同区域的生态环境,而不仅仅是放一头驼鹿来拍漂亮的照片。至少留出 30 分钟参观博物馆。
说到教育:公园里还有一套很棒的小书,每本售价 50 美分,科学性极强,涵盖了相同的生态主题,但更详细。
不太好的地方:
1)塔不是真正的塔,没有风景,但步道很短,花 5 分钟打勾是可以的;
2)更西边有一家更好的餐馆,叫做 Lake of 2 rivers cafe。
