点评:This is not a polished zoo, a bit rustic. The animals, 90% or more birds, all appear healthy and energetic and is a very pleasant activity for both families and adults. They manage to have many birds in a natural habitat yet easily seen by patrons, which many zoos don’t seem to care about anymore.
The offering for purchase of seed sticks and duck feed pellets encourages interaction with the birds. The seed sticks are really a must for getting the full benefit of visiting The Landing Zone, a must do activity, to get the birds to land on or near you. Kids especially love this, even the adults have big smiles! Make sure to take pictures and videos of the excitement.
I suggest forgoing the duck feed pellets. It is the same food the staff is putting out so doesn’t really have much appeal to the birds, not really a special treat.
This area of the state is a food desert, miles from any restaurants, so pack a picnic. There is a snack/light lunch cafe on site.
Allow 2-3 hours for a relaxing stroll, pausing at most of the enclosures. It is a little pricey but it costs a lot to take good care of exotic birds. It doesn’t seem like money is wasted on frills. This activity is mostly outside so wet or extreme weather would not be a good day for a visit.
翻译:这不是一个精致的动物园,有点简陋。这些动物(90% 或更多是鸟类)看起来都很健康、精力充沛,对家庭和成年人来说都是一项非常愉快的活动。他们设法让许多鸟类生活在自然栖息地,但游客很容易看到,而许多动物园似乎不再关心这一点。
提供种子棒和鸭饲料颗粒,鼓励与鸟类互动。种子棒对于充分享受参观着陆区(一项必做活动)的乐趣来说是必不可少的,让鸟儿降落在你身上或附近。孩子们特别喜欢这个,甚至大人也笑得很开心!一定要拍下兴奋的照片和视频。
我建议放弃鸭饲料颗粒。这是工作人员提供的相同食物,所以对鸟类没有太大的吸引力,并不是特别的享受。
该州的这个地区是一片美食沙漠,距离任何餐馆都有数英里,所以带上野餐。现场有一家小吃/便餐咖啡馆。
留出 2-3 小时悠闲漫步,在大多数围栏处停留。虽然有点贵,但照顾好珍稀鸟类花费不菲。看起来钱并没有浪费在花哨的东西上。这项活动大部分在户外进行,因此潮湿或极端天气不适合参观。
