点评:Every few years we make it a point to visit the Holiday Extravaganza at the Phoenix Zoological gardens known as ‘Zoo Lights’… a fabulous menagerie of lights, sounds, counterfeit lit animals and reptiles and many an artificial something or other set alight and sparkling - things that crawl, slither, creep, fly, swing and attract one’s attention either in a subtle or ubiquitous manner or in an extraordinarily, fantastic and unequaled phantasmagorical in your face means. This place can be one of the most fascinating places to visit in the Valley of the Sun, especially when taking a two-year-old or any Youngster on his or her first ecological, nature rendering, visually stimulating and young mind-bending excursion – not to mention a youngsters’ view of the light show in their mind seeming psychedelicish. One takes the whole worldview from a different perspective, that of learning things for the first time and trying to comprehend it – or pure amazement. Even for adults this fantasia will be awesome. It’s hard to imagine that in many ways we have Maytag washer sales to thank for this wonderful Zoo in Phoenix. Way back in 1961, Robert E. Maytag, the grandson of the Maytag Founder got some folks together with the suggestion of a zoo in Phoenix – 63 years later a fantastic Zoo and Zoo Lights! Phoenix is proud. We have our flagship zoo for research, entertainment and ecology, and then some. This is a most fascinating place to visit. Zoo Lights is an opportune time, but anytime of the year it is just fabulous. Kudos patrons, staff, management and donors!
翻译:每隔几年,我们都会特意去凤凰城动物园参加节日盛会,也就是“动物园灯光秀”……这是一个由灯光、声音、假灯光动物和爬行动物组成的神奇动物园,还有许多人造的东西被点亮并闪闪发光——它们爬行、滑行、爬行、飞翔、摇摆,以微妙或无处不在的方式吸引人们的注意,或者以一种非凡、奇妙和无与伦比的幻影般的方式出现在你面前。这个地方可能是太阳谷最迷人的地方之一,尤其是带着两岁的孩子或任何年轻人进行他们第一次生态、自然、视觉刺激和年轻人思维扭曲的旅行时——更不用说年轻人在他们脑海中对灯光秀的看法似乎很迷幻。人们从不同的角度看待整个世界观,即第一次学习事物并试图理解它——或者纯粹的惊奇。即使对于成年人来说,这个幻想剧也令人惊叹。很难想象,在很多方面,我们都要感谢 Maytag 洗衣机的销售,才有了凤凰城这个美妙的动物园。早在 1961 年,Maytag 创始人的孙子 Robert E. Maytag 就召集了一些人,建议在凤凰城建一个动物园——63 年后,一个很棒的动物园和动物园灯光秀就诞生了!凤凰城为此感到自豪。我们有旗舰动物园,用于研究、娱乐和生态,还有其他用途。这是一个最迷人的地方。动物园灯光秀是一个绝佳的机会,但一年中的任何时候,它都是美妙的。向顾客、员工、管理层和捐赠者致敬!
