点评:We were watching the Olympics, and one of the ads that came on, several times, was for Southwick's Zoo.
How strange!
Yet, a week later, we booked a highly suspect (turned out to be fine, but still weird) hotel in Grafton that was partway through renovation, and then we paid a visit to SZ. There were coupons, but they proved too complicated to use.
The rhinos in the ad were what lured us to the area, but it was hot, and they just lay in the dust. They were still cool to look at, and the rest of the zoo was interesting, and mostly nestled in hillside.
They have a special rhino program, where I'm told proceeds are directed "approximately 50% of proceeds that supported rhino conservation through our non profit, Earth Ltd. The other funds are going to the new Earth Connection Center that will have an entire area built for rhino conservation."
The area is a pretty part of Massachusetts, and a worthwhile overnight or day trip.
翻译:我们当时正在看奥运会,其中一个广告反复播放,是关于南威克动物园的。
真奇怪!
然而,一周后,我们预订了格拉夫顿一家非常可疑(结果还不错,但还是很奇怪)的酒店,这家酒店当时正在装修中。之后我们去了南威克动物园。那里有优惠券,但用起来太麻烦了。
正是广告里的犀牛吸引了我们来到这里,但天气很热,它们就躺在尘土中。它们看起来仍然很酷,动物园的其他地方也很有趣,大部分都坐落在山坡上。
他们有一个专门的犀牛项目,我听说收益“大约50%的收益将用于通过我们的非营利组织Earth Ltd支持犀牛保护。其余资金将用于新建的Earth Connection Center,该中心将建造一整片区域用于犀牛保护。”
该地区是马萨诸塞州的一个美丽地区,值得一夜或一日游。
