点评:While in Cleveland several weeks ago, my grandson and I decided to visit the Cleveland Metropark Zoo and Aquarium.
Neither of us expected that visit to be so fantastic and enjoyable, as it far exceeded our expectations.
We were very, very lucky as the entire day it appeared there was going to be a major rain storm, that never materialized.
What impressed us the most was the size of the animal enclosures, they were all very, very large and sizeable.
The giraffe enclosure you could purchase a few pieces of fresh lettuce and you could actually hand feed the giraffes within their enclosures.
All round the zoo, there were many Chinese New Year Lanterns, thus making a very festive atmosphere.
The zoo also provided a free Tram Service to ride up the steep incline to the zoo’s Aquarium and return.
The Aquarium was OK as many of the animals were outside of their indoor enclosures and others were too well camouflaged thus making them hard to find within their living spaces.
The zoo also had very nice Gift Shop near the exit.
It was truly a very nice way to spend our afternoon.
翻译:几周前我在克利夫兰时,我和孙子决定去参观克利夫兰城市公园动物园及水族馆。我们俩都没想到这次参观会如此精彩有趣,其体验远远超出了我们的预期。我们真是幸运至极——那天一整天都看似要下大雨,但最后却根本没下。最让我们印象深刻的是动物围栏的规模,它们都极其宽敞、面积很大。在长颈鹿园区,你可以购买几片新鲜生菜,然后亲手喂给圈养中的长颈鹿。
整个动物园内挂满了许多春节灯笼,营造出十分喜庆的氛围。
动物园还提供了免费的有轨电车服务,方便游客乘坐它爬上陡坡前往水族馆,之后再返回。水族馆还算不错,不过很多动物都待在室内的饲养区之外,还有些动物的伪装效果太好,导致很难在它们的生活环境中找到它们。
动物园出口附近还有一家非常不错的礼品店。
这的确是打发整个下午的好方式。
