点评:we were excited to visit auchindrain but felt disappointed by the reality.
when we got there we were told to go through the side gate and the cafe/shop was shut. no one checked our tickets or offered us a map of the site and yet clearly from the signs around the township there was some sort of map available. I presume it was online but we had no signal to check. each house was interesting and had some information but we felt that it could have been so much better with a questionnaire/quiz for the child with us, and some people in costume in one or two of the houses. fires could be lit in each house each morning and signs asking people to pop a log on if needed, and having a lady dressed as the wise woman in the first house for an hour or two each day, especially on weekends and during holidays , cooking flat bread or similar on the fire and telling people about 'herself' would have made the experience so much better! I would have paid double for that.
We recognise there is limited funds available, but maps or more signs or QR codes, just some way of providing a little bit more info and maybe a route we should be taking would have elevated our experience tenfold.
We do recommend people go, but our little girl was a tad bored so maybe something to engage the kids?
Looking forward to seeing where this township goes in the future.
翻译:我们原本满心期待着能参观奥钦德雷恩,但现实却让我们大失所望。
到达后,我们被要求从侧门进入,而咖啡馆和商店则处于关门状态。没有人检查我们的门票,也没有人给我们提供景区地图;不过从镇区内随处可见的指示牌来看,显然应该有地图可供获取。我猜地图应该是在网上,但我们那里没有信号,无法查看。每一栋房子都很有趣,也提供了不少信息,但我们觉得如果能给随行的孩子准备一份问卷或小测验,再在一两栋房子里安排一些人穿上戏服表演的话,体验肯定会更好。另外,每天早晨都可以在每栋房子里生火,并贴上提示牌邀请人们根据需要添加木柴;还可以安排一位装扮成女巫/智慧女子的女子每天在第一栋房子里待上一两个小时,尤其是在周末和节假日期间。在火上烤制面饼或类似食物,同时向人们介绍“她”的故事,那样体验肯定会好上许多!就算费用翻倍我也愿意付。
我们知道预算有限,但要是能有地图、更多的指示牌或者二维码,能提供一些额外信息,甚至指明我们该走的路线,那我们的体验绝对能提升十倍。
我们还是真心推荐大家去哦。不过我们的小女儿有点无聊,所以或许需要一些能吸引孩子们的东西吧?
很期待看看这个小镇未来会发展成什么样。
