点评:Very enjoyable visit--the highlight of our Augusta trip. The oddities in the museum (e.g., vampire bass (not bats--bass...), shrunken heads, a mummy, two-headed t-rex skeleton, etc.) were neat to look at, but what really made the visit fun were the tales told by Peter & Red. You'll come away schooled up nicely on the history of dime museums & sideshow acts, but thanks not to lectures but to engaging stories. The experience was very personalized; there were only four adults in our group on a Friday evening and questions/comments were welcomed & encouraged. Visit would absolutely be fine for older elementary-aged kids. Tour started promptly at 6 p.m. and we left around 8:15 having been thoroughly entertained on the guided tour and by a genuine, bone fide sword swallowing act, post tour. Logistics were easy. We parked literally right in front of the museum and there were additional vacant on-street spaces all around us. Area was a block or so off the main downtown drag but not crowded at all & felt totally safe. Admission price was $18 per person. TBH, I initially thought that was a bit steep, but left feeling very much like I'd gotten my money's worth and was happy to have supported what is very obviously a labor of love for a committed soul.
翻译:非常愉快的参观——我们奥古斯塔之旅的亮点。博物馆里的奇异之物(例如,吸血鬼鲈鱼(不是蝙蝠——是鲈鱼……)、缩小的头颅、木乃伊、双头霸王龙骨架等)看起来很不错,但真正让这次参观变得有趣的是彼得和雷德讲的故事。你会很好地了解廉价博物馆和杂耍表演的历史,但这并不是由于讲座,而是由于引人入胜的故事。这次体验非常个性化;周五晚上我们小组只有四个成年人,欢迎并鼓励提问/评论。参观绝对适合年龄较大的小学儿童。游览于下午 6 点准时开始,我们在 8:15 左右离开,在导游的带领下和游览后观看了一场真正的、真实的吞剑表演,玩得很开心。后勤工作很简单。我们把车停在博物馆正前方,周围还有额外的空置路边停车位。该地区距离市中心主干道只有一个街区左右,但一点也不拥挤,感觉非常安全。门票价格为每人 18 美元。说实话,我最初觉得这个价格有点贵,但离开时感觉物有所值,很高兴能支持这项显然是出于热爱而做出的贡献。
