点评:We visited here in October for 1 day with a 4 and 7 year old and think it was a great age to bring them.
From park opening to close we were able to go on about 22 rides/attractions/playgrounds, but still didn't feel like we were able to do everything. Still for 1 day we felt we had a fairly complete experience. If you'd like to do the water park, (we didn't try it) you'll want a second day which would probably give you enough time to finish the park for what you didn't do the first day and maybe keep a slower pace. We booked 1 of our tickets through a work company discounts portal for a discount and free parking so you might check some places you don't normally. We went counter clock wise around the park, as the dinosaur area rides were pretty long all day, but then were a bit rushed when we tried the left side and didn't get to ride the dinosaur ones at all. Guess for us it just wasn't enough hours in the day.
As for the park, it's really designed for kids so you should compare to similar places that are focused soley on younger ages. It's pretty good for them. If you're traveling from out of the area I would recommend waiting until they are just 42" tall and can go on all of the rides. It's fine if you don't there are still lots of rides to go on, but I felt like it was the right starting age. Our 4 year old was able to ride everything and after every ride wanted to do them again. As an adult the only ride that stood out to me was the galactic coaster which was a really neat indoor roller coaster. Some of the rides are a little old and if you compare it to Disney they don't have the level of detail and upkeep. I would not recommend coming here without kids under 12.
Our 7 year old enjoyed the lego trading a lot, but was disappointed much of the day because there weren't many places to trade. It was mostly customer service and a couple of the stores, but if you pick up a few lego figures and bring them with you could still do that. We didn't need to build our own which took time at the start when arrived and one of our kids wasn't interested at all.
If you go on a hot day, there isn't much shade or places to eat inside. We all probably would've enjoyed it more in milder weather. One thing I liked was there were play areas in the middle of the lines where kids could go to wait instead of just standing there and playgrounds near several of the roller coasters if some kids weren't tall enough.
The park is only like 10 minutes from the town and beaches so if you stay anywhere in the area you'll be fine. Security lines were pretty minimal for us so you don't need to get there more than 20 minutes before park opens and regular parking wasn't too far. We brought a couple of strollers, the 7 year old didn't need it. The park closed pretty early.
Afterwards, we went to downtown Carlsbad saw the sunset at the beach and got pizza then big scoops at handels ice cream. The downtown was quite busy on a Friday night so you might call ahead or place an order from the park on the way for food.
If we lived close, this would be a fun place to have season passes, from farther away this will probably just be a one time experience.
翻译:我们在10月份带着4岁和7岁的孩子在这里玩了一天,觉得这个年龄带他们来再合适不过了。
从公园开放到关闭,我们总共体验了大约22个游乐设施/景点/游乐场,但仍觉得还有很多没来得及玩。不过,仅仅一天的时间,我们就感觉收获满满、体验非常完整了。如果您想去水上游乐区的话……(我们没试过)不过建议你安排第二天再去,这样就有足够的时间完成第一天没玩完的项目,也能放慢游玩节奏。我们通过公司的折扣门户购买了一张门票,从而享受了折扣和免费停车服务,所以你们也可以试试一些平时不会考虑的购票渠道。我们是逆时针游览的,因为整个白天的恐龙区游乐项目排队时间都很长。不过后来我们尝试左侧区域时有点仓促,根本没机会体验那些恐龙主题的游乐设施。看来对我们来说,一天的时间就是不够用啊。
至于这个游乐园,它确实是专为小孩子设计的,所以你应该把它和那些专门面向低龄儿童的游乐园作比较。对小孩子来说,这里相当不错。如果你是从外地来游玩的话,我建议等孩子身高达到42英寸之后再来,那样他们就能玩遍所有的游乐设施了。就算没有孩子也没关系,这里还有很多游乐设施可以玩,不过我觉得4岁是个合适的开始年龄。我们的4岁孩子能玩遍所有项目,每次玩完都还想再玩一次。作为大人,让我印象最深的只有那艘“银河过山车”——它是一款非常棒的室内过山车。不过有些游乐设施有些年头了;与迪士尼相比,这里的细节处理和维护水平也稍逊一筹。我建议没有12岁以下孩子的人就不要来这里了。我们7岁的孩子非常喜欢乐高交换活动,但一整天都有些失望,因为可供交换的地方并不多。主要有客服处和几家商店可以提供交换服务,不过如果你提前带上几个乐高人偶,也依然可以进行交换。我们没必要自己拼装乐高,不过刚到的时候这需要花些时间;而且我们的其中一个孩子对此完全不感兴趣。
如果在炎热的日子里前往,那里几乎没有阴凉处,室内也没有多少可以用餐的地方。如果天气更温和一些,我们可能都会玩得更开心。我挺喜欢的一点是,排队区中间设有游乐区,孩子们可以在那里等候,而不用干站着;另外,有几处过山车旁边还有儿童游乐场,方便那些身高不够的孩子玩耍。
这个公园离镇子和海滩只有10分钟左右的路程,所以只要住在这一带,都不会有问题。对我们来说,安检流程相当简单,因此只需要在乐园开放前20分钟到达即可;普通停车场的位置也不算远。我们带了几辆婴儿车,不过那个7岁的孩子其实用不上。乐园关门的时间挺早的。
之后,我们去了卡尔斯巴德市中心,在海边欣赏了日落,还吃了披萨,随后又去Handels冰淇淋店买了大杯冰淇淋。周五晚上市中心十分热闹,所以您或许需要提前打电话预订,或者在前往乐园的途中直接下单购买食物。如果我们住得近,买季票后这里会是个很有趣的去处;但距离较远的话,恐怕只能来体验一次而已。
