点评:We visited yesterday as a family of 5, grandparents, daughter and two grandchildren aged 11 and 14. Although the set up is clearly aimed predominantly at younger children, we found plenty to enjoy and learn about. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable . The meet the animal experience included a one year old barn owl and a beautifully marked corn snake. For younger children having the experience of stroking the so soft owl plumage was probably enough but older children who are interested and curious could ask questions about the natural habitat of the animals, whether or not they are endangered and how they came to be at Hayrick. We all loved the peacock who was really strutting his stuff in the vain hope of attracting the attention of the peahens! The lunch was very tasty - proper home made meat pie and chips and I ended the visit by buying some meat from the butchers. One suggestion that I would make is, if possible to have some QR codes by some of the enclosures. For example, the Macaws come from South America, so it might be of interest for children to learn where that is.
翻译:昨天我们一家五口去了那里,有祖父母、女儿和两个孙辈,分别是 11 岁和 14 岁的孙辈。虽然这里的布置显然主要针对年幼的孩子,但我们也发现了很多值得享受和学习的东西。工作人员乐于助人,知识渊博。与动物见面的体验包括见到一只一岁的仓鸮和一条有漂亮斑纹的玉米蛇。对于年幼的孩子来说,抚摸猫头鹰柔软的羽毛可能就足够了,但年龄大一些的孩子如果感兴趣且好奇,可以问一些问题,比如这些动物的自然栖息地,它们是否濒临灭绝,以及它们是如何来到 Hayrick 的。我们都很喜欢那只孔雀,它昂首阔步,徒劳地希望能引起雌孔雀的注意!午餐非常美味——正宗的自制肉饼和薯条,最后我从肉店买了一些肉。我的一个建议是,如果可能的话,在一些围栏旁边贴上二维码。例如,金刚鹦鹉来自南美洲,因此孩子们可能会对了解南美洲的所在地感兴趣。
