点评:Family value here: we were recommended here by my sister in law who is local. The adults paid in 5 euro each and the children who were both under 12 were free. We had to wait 25 minutes for the guided tour so walked to and from the nearby unusual church ruin and graveyard in the interim. There was an informative film on the caves first then John the guide took over with a burst of impressive song based on Pure imagination. The tour of the cave was excellent and appealed to adults and both our children aged 7 and 5 alike. We enjoyed spotting the buffalo, meringue, casper, the hand around the largest stalagmite in Ireland and all the various rock formations. You need to be relatively fit as there are a fair amount of steps that are steep and I noticed someone struggling on the way back to the centre. Good footwear is essential as it can be wet and potentially slippery in multiple places: no high heels. There is ample parking on a quiet winter day but I'm not sure if there would be sufficient parking on a busy summer day. There were 4 portaloo toilets outside the centre for the public which were clean and well equipped. Overall, I thought the film and tour was excellent with an engaging, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide in John and it was super value for money as we were weighing here against another family outing in Kilkenny city that was over 6 times the price!! Note: no cafe/coffee on site. Delighted we saw the caves and highly recommended for families and others.
翻译:这里非常适合家庭出游:我们是由住在当地的嫂子推荐来的。大人每人付了5欧元,两个12岁以下的孩子免费。我们等了25分钟才等到导览,所以趁这段时间去附近一个很特别的教堂遗址和墓地转了转。导览开始前先播放了一段关于洞穴的介绍影片,之后导游约翰开始讲解,他即兴演唱了一首令人印象深刻的歌曲,灵感来自纯粹的想象。洞穴之旅非常棒,大人和我们7岁和5岁的孩子都玩得很开心。我们很喜欢寻找水牛、蛋白酥皮、卡斯珀、爱尔兰最大石笋周围的手形石笋以及各种各样的岩石构造。你需要有一定的体力,因为有很多陡峭的台阶,我看到有人在返回中心的路上走得很吃力。一定要穿合适的鞋子,因为洞穴里有些地方会湿滑:不要穿高跟鞋。在比较安静的冬日,停车位很充足,但我不确定在繁忙的夏日是否也能找到足够的停车位。中心外设有4个供公众使用的移动厕所,干净且设施齐全。总的来说,我认为电影和游览体验都非常棒,导游约翰热情洋溢、知识渊博,而且讲解生动有趣。考虑到我们之前在基尔肯尼市参加的另一个家庭出游项目价格是这里的六倍多,这次的性价比简直太高了!注意:中心内没有咖啡馆/咖啡。我们很高兴参观了洞穴,强烈推荐给家庭和其他游客。
