点评:What a bummer this visit turned out to be. We took our son to the Wilderness Trail Zoo on his day off, and we were surprised by the price of admission for two adults and one child and a small bowl of feed to offer the animals.
We’ve visited the zoo many times over the years, but this experience was different. It had been a couple of years since our last visit, and while we understand that changes and updates are part of running a zoo, we left feeling disappointed.
One of the biggest letdowns was that so many of the scheduled activities and animal encounters were unavailable. The reptile enclosure, butterfly experience, and bird-feeding experience were all closed. It seemed like nearly everything required advance scheduling or wasn’t available at all.
I understand that operating a zoo is difficult and expensive, and I appreciate the effort that goes into maintaining and updating the facility. However, when you’re charging these admission prices, visitors should feel more appreciated, especially when so many of the attractions and experiences are closed.
My biggest suggestion would be to offer reduced off-season admission prices when many of the attractions and animal encounters are unavailable. Visitors shouldn’t have to pay full price for an experience that offers significantly less than they might reasonably expect.
We’ve enjoyed visiting in the past, which makes this visit all the more disappointing. I hope the zoo continues to improve, but based on our latest experience, the admission price simply didn’t match the value we received.
翻译:这次参观真是令人失望。儿子休息日那天,我们带他去了荒野小径动物园。结果两个大人加一个孩子的门票价格,再加上买给动物吃的饲料费用,都让我们大吃一惊。
这些年来我们多次光顾这家动物园,但这次的经历却截然不同。距离我们上次造访已经过去几年了;虽然我们理解动物园的运营必然会有各种变化与更新,但离开时我们还是感到十分失望。最令人失望的一点就是,原本计划进行的许多活动以及与动物的互动环节都无法进行。爬行动物饲养区、蝴蝶观赏区以及喂鸟体验区全都关闭了。似乎几乎所有项目都需要提前预约,否则根本无法参与。
我明白经营一家动物园既困难又成本高昂,也敬佩工作人员为维护和更新园区所付出的努力。不过,当收取如此高的门票费用时……游客们理应得到更多的关照与重视,尤其是在有那么多景点和体验项目都关闭的情况下。
我最大的建议就是:在诸多景点和动物互动项目都无法体验的淡季期间,适当降低门票价格。游客们不应为那些远未达到预期体验水平的服务支付全价。
我们过去一直很享受来此游玩,这也让这次的体验显得格外令人失望。我希望这家动物园能不断进步,但根据我们最近的体验来看,门票价格与我们所获得的服务价值并不相符。
