点评:We recently did the Slumber Safari overnight stay at Werribee Open Range Zoo with a group that included people with physical disabilities, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish.
The staff were incredibly accommodating and supportive, especially Megan, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and included. We were never rushed through any activities, and having contact numbers provided gave us real peace of mind in case we needed assistance throughout the stay.
The safari bus experience was a highlight – the team took their time to ensure every participant, whether in a wheelchair or not, had a clear view and felt safe and comfortable while seeing the animals.
The food was fantastic, with plenty of options and great attention given to dietary requirements. The rooms were also excellent, and the staff were more than happy to rearrange things so we could make the most of accessible spaces, including rooms with wheelchair ramps.
We also really appreciated being able to store our bags at the main camp area even after our allocated stay had finished – it made the whole experience feel relaxed and flexible.
Every staff member we encountered was friendly, patient, and genuinely passionate about making the zoo more accessible. It’s clear they care about creating an inclusive experience for everyone, and we can’t recommend it highly enough.
Overall, our experience was fantastic, and it’s clear a lot of thought has gone into making the program inclusive. If there was one area for ongoing improvement, it would be continuing to enhance wheelchair accessibility across all areas of the experience. While staff were incredibly supportive and accommodating, any further improvements to physical access would make the experience even more seamless and comfortable for participants with mobility needs.
翻译:我们最近带着一群有行动不便人士的朋友参加了维多利亚州维里比开放式动物园的“睡梦之旅”过夜体验,整个过程从头到尾都非常棒。
工作人员非常热情周到,尤其是梅根,她尽心尽力确保每个人都感到舒适自在。我们参加的任何活动都没有被催促,而且工作人员还提供了联系方式,让我们在需要帮助时都能安心联系到他们。
乘坐观光巴士游览是整个行程的一大亮点——工作人员非常细致周到,确保每位参与者,无论是否乘坐轮椅,都能拥有清晰的视野,并在观赏动物时感到安全舒适。
食物非常美味,种类丰富,而且工作人员非常注重满足我们的饮食需求。房间也很棒,工作人员非常乐意调整房间布局,以便我们充分利用无障碍空间,包括带有轮椅坡道的房间。
我们也非常感谢能够在主营地寄存行李,即使我们的住宿时间已经结束——这让整个体验更加轻松灵活。
我们遇到的每一位工作人员都非常友善、耐心,并且真心实意地致力于让动物园更加无障碍。他们显然非常重视为所有人打造包容性的体验,我们强烈推荐这家动物园。
总的来说,我们的体验非常棒,显然动物园在打造包容性方面下了很大功夫。如果说有什么需要持续改进的地方,那就是应该继续提升所有区域的轮椅无障碍设施。虽然工作人员给予了我们极大的支持和帮助,但如果能进一步改善无障碍设施,对于行动不便的游客来说,体验将会更加顺畅舒适。
