点评:We had our day planned, first stop was The Big Banana Fun Park, followed by the Butterfly House and then check-in at our accommodation in Coffs Harbour. We love butterflies but the Butterfly House caters more than just butterflies, it’s like a mini amusement park with Alice in Wonderland theme and a Dinosaur Park. We were greeted by a cheerful, lovely gentleman and purchased our tickets. He told us where the Butterfly Glass House is… not far, it’s literally a few steps away. He also told us that the butterfly species change during the day, so it’s advisable to check in the glass house every now and then – we were given a brochure ‘Passport to Magic’ with images of butterflies that you may see. He also told us when the next Dinosaur Show Arena will be on, as we arrived in the afternoon, only one show left for the day. That was very kind of him to share that information with us and if you have forgotten what he told you, there’s a QR code at the back of the brochure with that same man sharing with you what you can do at the Butterfly House, the times of the dinosaur shows and where – pretty clever, eh? Our first stop was of course Butterfly Glass House. What a wonderful, charming lay out it is. A lot of thought was put into it, to make it a magical experience with a fairies’ theme and fairies flying amongst trees (CGI of course) with plenty of butterflies fluttering around as well. We saw Orange Lacewing butterflies both male and female and a plethora of them. There is a section once you exit the glass house, where you scan another QR code (on the tele screen), stand in front of green background (green screen), and take a selfie with a butterfly border – another fun activity and memory to keep (see photo of myself). We then ventured into the Alice in Wonderland themed park. Take a walk ‘Through the Looking Glass’, a mirror maze, which we failed miserably. We ended up exiting the entry door but it was fun to do and killed time. Then we walked through the maze, a bit of a challenge but easy to do and plenty of photo opportunities with Alice in Wonderland characters once you have reached the centre and a bubble machine automatically blowing bubbles… that’s rewarding – seriously, the children would absolutely love this. By then, it was time for the 1pm Dinosaur Show. A fun and interactive show for the children. While waiting for the show to start, staff will bring around fossilised butterflies for us to see and touch and then the show starts, where children can get up close to a friendly, moving dinosaur during the show – not mechanical, a human inside. If the weather is dry, you can visit the dinosaur forest, where there are mechanical dinosaurs to see and again, photo opportunities – cute ones, where you can place your children inside a dinosaur egg(s). Just before we left, we walked back to the gift shop (located where you purchase your tickets) and bought a few gifts – they cater for both adults and children. We were surprised to see a friendly family of peacocks walking past us and an albino one as well. There is a Wonderland themed café there as well, if you want to have something to eat or drink or both? Or bring along a packed lunch. We saw some people who brought with them picnic blanket / chairs, having their lunch, during the dinosaur show. Well worth a visit, especially if you have young children, enjoyable activities to see and do, that keeps you entertained for a couple of hours at least, especially if you repeat the activities over and over again. Highly recommend.
翻译:我们已经计划好了一天的行程,第一站是大香蕉游乐园,然后是蝴蝶馆,最后入住科夫斯港的住处。我们喜欢蝴蝶,但蝴蝶馆提供的不仅仅是蝴蝶,它就像一个迷你游乐园,主题是爱丽丝梦游仙境和恐龙公园。一位开朗可爱的绅士迎接了我们,并为我们购买了门票。他告诉我们蝴蝶玻璃屋在哪里……不远,实际上只有几步之遥。他还告诉我们,蝴蝶的种类在一天中会发生变化,所以建议时不时去玻璃屋看看——我们收到了一本小册子“通往魔法的护照”,上面有你可能会看到的蝴蝶图片。他还告诉我们下一场恐龙表演场什么时候开演,因为我们是下午到的,当天只剩下一场表演了。他非常友善地与我们分享了这些信息,如果您忘记了他告诉您的内容,宣传册背面有一个二维码,上面有他本人的信息,告诉您可以在蝴蝶馆做什么、恐龙表演的时间以及地点——很聪明,不是吗?我们的第一站当然是蝴蝶玻璃屋。它的布局多么美妙、迷人啊。他们花了很多心思,让它成为一次神奇的体验,以仙女为主题,仙女在树间飞翔(当然是 CGI),还有很多蝴蝶在飞舞。我们看到了橙色草蛉蝴蝶,有雄性的也有雌性的,数量非常多。离开玻璃屋后,有一个区域,您可以扫描另一个二维码(在电视屏幕上),站在绿色背景(绿屏)前,并与蝴蝶边框一起自拍——这是另一个有趣的活动和值得保留的回忆(见我的照片)。然后我们冒险进入爱丽丝梦游仙境主题公园。去“穿过镜子”迷宫,我们失败了。最后我们从入口门出去了,但玩起来很有趣,而且打发时间。然后我们穿过迷宫,有点挑战性,但很容易做到,到达中心后有很多机会与爱丽丝梦游仙境中的角色合影,还有一台自动吹泡泡的泡泡机……这很有意义——说真的,孩子们绝对会喜欢这个。到那时,就到了下午 1 点的恐龙表演时间。这是一场为孩子们准备的有趣互动表演。在等待表演开始的时候,工作人员会带来蝴蝶化石让我们观看和触摸,然后表演就开始了,孩子们可以在表演期间近距离接触一只友好、会动的恐龙——不是机械的,里面有一个人。如果天气干燥,您可以参观恐龙森林,那里有机械恐龙可以观看,同样,还有拍照的机会——可爱的照片,您可以将您的孩子放在恐龙蛋里。就在我们离开之前,我们走回礼品店(位于您购买门票的地方)买了一些礼物——它们既适合成人也适合儿童。我们惊讶地看到一群友好的孔雀从我们身边走过,还有一只白化病孔雀。那里还有一家以仙境为主题的咖啡馆,如果您想吃点东西或喝点东西或两者兼而有之?或者带上一份盒装午餐。我们看到一些人带着野餐毯/椅子,在恐龙表演期间吃午餐。非常值得一游,特别是如果您有年幼的孩子,有趣的活动可以观看和做,至少可以让您玩上几个小时,特别是如果您一遍又一遍地重复这些活动。强烈推荐。
