点评:We went with our daughter and three grandchildren, the entry cost just under £100 including a few add ons. But once in the Fun Park there were no further costs. The way we see this place is that it’s a decent ball park/indoor play area, it also has a number of animals of different sizes and varieties to enjoy, and it has a vintage Fairground which is probably unique. So three in one!
On entry yes it looks a little tired but after an hour or so we got the feel of the place, the grandchildren loved the indoor play area, which is adjacent to the small cafeteria. We then spent time with the stabled horses and other animals before venturing further into the park.
It seems the vintage Fairground was purchased as a job lot some years ago as all the old haulage wagons and trailers are parked up. The fairground rides are scattered through the park - they are old but all work well. The carousel was built in Gloucester over one hundred years ago, two of the carousel horses were salvaged from another ride and are one hundred and fifty years old. The whole thing was originally steam driven, I learnt all this from the very enthusiastic man managing this ride, and the original manufacturers name plates and dates. I would think that all the rides date back at least 100 years. It was a real nostalgic look back to different times when rides were not all about thrill seeking. There is a ghost train and a great bumper car circuit. Our grandchildren felt none of the nostalgia, they just had a great time on the various rides.
We took a picnic with us and were welcome to use the tables and chairs set out in the park. The free tractor ride took us all on a circuit round the whole park, it’s big. We were there for nearly five hours, the time passed very quickly.
So, in conclusion it’s a unique nostalgic experience which won’t be there forever. Go there and embrace it. We all really enjoyed it - it was very sunny which of course added a bit to the enjoyment of the day.
翻译:我们带着女儿和三个孙辈一同前往,入场费略低于100英镑,其中还包含了一些附加项目。不过进入游乐区后就无需再支付任何费用了。在我们看来,这个地方算是个不错的室内游乐场:这里有各种大小不一、种类繁多的动物可供观赏,还有一个或许独一无二的复古游乐场。真是一举三得啊!
刚进门时,这里看起来有点破旧,但一个小时左右后我们就慢慢熟悉了整个环境。孙辈们很喜欢那个紧邻小咖啡厅的室内游乐区。之后,我们又花时间照料了马厩里的马匹及其他动物,随后才继续在公园里探险。
看来这个具有复古风格的游乐场是几年前被整体收购的,因为所有老式的运输马车和拖车都停在那里。各类游乐设施散布在公园各处——它们虽然年代久远,但运行状况良好。那个旋转木马更是有一百多年的历史了,是在格洛斯特制造的。有两匹旋转木马上的马匹是从另一台游乐设施上拆下来的,它们已有150年历史了。整个旋转木马最初是由蒸汽机驱动的——这些信息都是我从负责管理该设施的那位热情洋溢的男士那里了解到的,此外我还看到了原制造商的铭牌以及生产年份。我认为所有的游乐设施至少都有100年历史了。这次参观真的让我怀旧不已,仿佛回到了那个并非所有游乐设施都以追求刺激为目的的年代。那里还有一列鬼屋火车,以及一个很棒的碰碰车场地。我们的孙辈们没有任何怀旧之情,他们只是在各种游乐设施上玩得开心极了。
我们带了野餐食物,公园里备好的桌子和椅子也供我们随意使用。免费的拖拉机游览带我们绕整个公园一圈,公园的面积可真大。我们在那里待了近五个小时,时间过得飞快。
总而言之,这是一次独一无二的怀旧体验,这样的机会不会永远存在。快去体验吧!我们都玩得非常开心——那天阳光明媚,这无疑让这一天更加愉快。
