Disappointing, not advertised accurately and abrupt staff.
Ferne Animal Sanctuary的点评
点评:I mean this in a kind way because I respect what the sanctuary does. The goal is to protect the animals which I fully support.
We came as a family of five and the money we paid for entry basically went towards supporting the facility and nothing else.
What I mean is that the sanctuary is advertised as somewhere you can visit to see the animals that are cared for there. And that is why we came.
I am glad our admission will support the work there but I feel it is misleadingly advertised.
We saw a sum total of three animals - one rabbit and two ducks. I am not being sarcastic.
Everything else was hidden from view (I appreciate the animals are free to move away from public view and they should be. But no animals were in their enclosures).
Some of the sanctuary staff were incredibly abrupt and rude. Even though there were no signs to indicate not looking in an enclosure they screamed at my children and actually scared them. The children were not in a closed off area at all and were simply following the way round as per the map.
The cafe is pretty but the staff do not understand neurodivergent people at all and were condescending when asked about some of the specifics of what they serve. I felt belittled. The pricing is also excessive - charging almost £6 for a small slice of cake is absurd.
On a positive, the man in the shop where you pay for entry was incredibly kind and fully understanding.
And dogs are allowed on site which is helpful for those with dogs.
All in all a very disappointing visit.
翻译:我这么说并无恶意,因为我很敬重这个保护区所做的工作。它的宗旨是保护动物,这一点我完全支持。
我们一家五口一同前来,所支付的门票费用基本上都用于支持保护区的运营,别无他用。
我的意思是,这个保护区被宣传为一个可以去参观、近距离观察那些受保护的动物的地方。我们也是因为这个才来的。
我很高兴我们的门票收入能帮助到保护区的工作,不过我觉得这种宣传方式有些误导之嫌。我们总共只看到了三只动物——一只兔子和两只鸭子。我可不是在讽刺。
其他所有的动物都看不见踪影(我理解这些动物有权离开人们的视线范围,这本也无可厚非。但它们的围栏里根本没有任何动物)。
保护区的部分工作人员极其粗鲁无礼。尽管没有任何标识禁止窥视围栏内部,他们却冲着我的孩子们大喊大叫,把孩子们吓坏了。那些孩子根本不在封闭区域里,只是按照地图指示的路线行走而已。
这家咖啡馆挺漂亮的,但店员完全不理解神经多样性人群,当被问及所提供的餐品细节时还表现出居高临下的态度。这让我觉得受到了轻视。价格也贵得离谱——一小块蛋糕就要近6英镑,实在荒谬。
值得称赞的是,负责收取入场费的店员非常友善且善解人意。场地内允许带狗进入,这对养狗的人来说很方便。
总的来说,这次参观令人非常失望。
