点评:We visited Durham Mining Museum today 12/07/2026. We arrived approx 13.20pm, it was due to close at 14.00 so it was very quiet, in fact we were the only ones there.
My son started asking questions, Tony one of the staff members was happy to show us around and he interacted with my son the whole way around. He gave my son information about everything, nothing was too much trouble, he even wrote notes for my son in his little note book and was happy for my son to video some of it. My son is obsessed with making videos and I understand that a lot of people don’t like to be videoed but Yony was happy to do what ever made my sons experience a good one. Another staff member called T was Ali’s lovely with my son and gave him a keyring as a little present to remember his visit. It got to 10 mins before closing but Tony still wanted to let my son see downstairs where it has been made out like a mine, it was used for a tv set years ago but kept there for school children to experience what a mine may have looked like. My son was really happy and even got to try a hard hat with a light on. We had a lovely visit, and although it’s only small there is so much to learn, especially when the staff are so knowledgeable and welcoming. Loved it! Thank you Tony & T, you made my sons visit very special :)
翻译:我们今天,也就是2026年7月12日,参观了达勒姆矿业博物馆。我们大约在下午1点20分到达,当时博物馆预计在2点闭馆,因此馆内非常安静,事实上只有我们两个人。
我儿子开始不断提问,工作人员托尼很乐意带我们参观,整个参观过程中都与我儿子互动。他向我儿子介绍了各种展品的相关信息,毫无不耐烦之色。他甚至还在我儿子的小笔记本上写下了一些笔记,也欣然同意我儿子录制部分内容的视频。我的儿子痴迷于拍视频。我知道很多人不喜欢被拍视频,但Yony很乐意做任何能让我儿子拥有愉快体验的事情。另一位员工T也叫Ali,他对我儿子体贴入微,还送了一个钥匙扣作为小礼物,好让他记住这次到访。当时已经临近闭店10分钟了,但Tony仍然想带我儿子去看看楼下那个被布置得宛如矿井般的地方。多年前,这里曾被用作电视机陈列室,后来则保留下来供学生们体验矿山可能的样子。我的儿子非常开心,甚至还试戴了一顶带灯的安全帽。我们度过了愉快的参观时光;虽然地方不大,但能学到的东西却很多,尤其是当工作人员如此博学又热情好客的时候。我们太喜欢这里了!感谢Tony和T,你们让我儿子的这次参观变得格外特别 :)。
