点评:Mastodon Ridge is a collection of fun things, including a nice miniature golf set-up, a mastodon statue, and a "Flintstones" style house and car, among other things.
As fans of roadside attractions, we stopped by here mostly to see the mastodon and house. It's right by the freeway, so access is easy.
The mastodon connection is real, as mastadon bones were found in Nova Scotia about 35 years ago.
In addition to these attractions, they also have a marker that they are halfway between the equator and the North Pole. This is likely true, as it would be for any location along the 10,000 miles or so of the Earth that lies at the 45th parallel, which also runs through Spain, parts of Italy, just north of Salem Oregon, and along the Montana/Wyoming state line. Still, it is fun.
Some of the photos on this site may be a little outdated. They've rebuilt the miniature golf area, and it is nicer than it appears in some of the older photos. They also have ice cream and various fast food offerings on site.
We came without kids, but the 12-year-old me would have had a blast here. This was worth a trip for adults - it's simply fun.
翻译:乳齿象岭汇集了各种有趣的东西,包括漂亮的迷你高尔夫球场、乳齿象雕像、以及“摩登原始人”风格的房屋和汽车等等。
作为路边景点的爱好者,我们来这里主要是为了看看乳齿象和房屋。它就在高速公路旁,交通便利。
乳齿象与这里的联系是真实存在的,因为大约35年前在新斯科舍省发现了乳齿象的骨骼。
除了这些景点外,这里还有一个标记,表明它位于赤道和北极的中间位置。这很可能是真的,就像地球上任何位于北纬45度线(这条线也穿过西班牙、意大利部分地区、俄勒冈州塞勒姆以北以及蒙大拿州和怀俄明州的州界)的10,000英里左右的地点一样。不过,这里仍然很有趣。
本网站上的一些照片可能有些过时了。他们重建了迷你高尔夫球场,现在比一些旧照片上看起来更漂亮。他们还提供冰淇淋和各种快餐。
我们没带孩子来,但12岁的我在这里玩得很开心。对于成年人来说,这趟旅程也值得——真的很有趣。
