点评:This is a big place (19 acres) to explore with both indoor and outdoor exhibits. Fortunately, your ticket is good for two days, so you don't have to try to cram it all in at once. We enjoyed the large and well-stocked museum shop and the chance to either skim or deep dive into maritime history along the eastern shore. Exhibits are made more interesting by tying the shipbuilding and oystering/crabbing industries to human experiences. If you love boats, this is the spot for you! But there's also a very interesting exhibit that traces the carvers and history of duck decoys, which we found surprisingly fascinating. Staff here are very helpful in pointing you in the direction of things you'd like to see. Outside on the grounds, you can step inside a full-size crabber's shanty and get a feel for the tools associated with harvesting local seafood. One outdoor exhibit was just a rope tied to a piling with a sign inviting people to fish for a crab. Laughing, I pulled gently on the rope, expecting nothing but got a big surprise when a huge crab popped out of the water and started to climb the rope! Yikes. I felt relieved when it slipped back into the water! We enjoyed this experience, but there was one drawback that we pointed out to staff. CBMM is advertised as accessible but it's not fully accessible. A ramp outside the main building leads to other buildings and outdoor exhibits, but the ground in between those exhibits is covered by either crushed stone or grass over bumpy ground. We gave up trying to push a wheelchair over those areas. If you can make it to the shoreline, there's more to see, but getting there in a wheelchair is not possible. We mentioned this to staff who said they were aware and that changes are coming. Meantime, they offered to refund our tickets. We thanked them for the offer but did not ask for a refund. Husband is able to ambulate for brief periods with one leg in a cast, so we managed, but if you or someone in your party can't ambulate in that way, we think you will be disappointed. We enjoyed our visit here and learned that the CBMM is expanding and improving all the time, so would likely visit again.
翻译:这是一个非常广阔的园区(占地19英亩),内有众多室内外展览可供参观。幸运的是,门票有效期为两天,因此你不必试图在一天之内看完所有内容。我们很喜欢那里面积宽敞且商品丰富的博物馆商店,也能借此机会大致了解或深入探究东海岸的航海历史。这些展览巧妙地将造船业以及养蚝/捕蟹产业与人类的生活体验相结合,显得格外有趣。如果你热爱船只,这里绝对是你不容错过的好去处!不过这里还有一个非常有趣的展览,讲述了制作鸭形诱饵的工匠们及其历史,我们觉得这个展览出奇地吸引人。这里的工作人员也很乐于助人,会指引游客去参观他们感兴趣的展品。在户外场地上,你可以走进一座全尺寸的捕蟹小屋,亲自体验一下用于捕捞当地海产品的各种工具。还有一个户外展览,不过只是把一根绳子系在桩子上,旁边还立着告示牌邀请人们去钓螃蟹。真是笑料百出啊。我轻轻拉了拉绳子,本没抱什么期待,却没想到一只巨大的螃蟹突然从水中冒出来,还开始沿着绳子往上爬!天哪。当它又滑回水中时,我才松了一口气!我们很享受这次体验,但也向工作人员指出了一个不足之处。虽然CBMM被宣传为无障碍景区,但实际上并非完全如此。主楼外的斜坡可以通往其他建筑及户外展览区。不过,这些展览区之间的地面要么是碎石,要么是高低不平的草地。我们试过推着轮椅穿过那些区域,但最终放弃了。如果能到达湖岸线,还能看到更多景观,但坐着轮椅根本无法抵达。我们向工作人员说明了情况,他们表示已知晓,也正在着手改进。在此期间,他们提出可以为我们退还门票费用。我们感谢他们的好意,但并未要求退款。我的丈夫的一条腿打着石膏,但仍能短时间行走,因此我们勉强应付过去了。不过,如果您或您同行的人无法以这种方式行走,我们觉得您可能会失望。我们很享受这次游览,还了解到CBMM一直在不断扩展与改进,所以我们很可能会再次来访。
