点评:Foremost, I applaud the Rescue Centre's outstanding contribution to primate welfare and the educational information around their exhibits/enclosures.
I visited on a particularly cold and damp February afternoon, when most of the monkeys had (unlike me) chosen indoor warmth over outdoor exercise. To that end, I had quite a disappointing visit and saw many of the smaller monkeys only from a distance, far behind grimy glass or thick mesh.
Where you can join the monkeys inside, it is great.
There is also a great Woodland Walk with non-simian wildlife.
Had I been with a larger family group, I imagine the youngsters would not have enjoyed the extent of the exercise for scant monkey visibility/activity and not great value. Only one of the coffee shops was open - a sensible economy given the number of visitors - but I could have done with more opportunity of a hot drink.
I add this note, not to dissuade anyone from visiting - rather to advise that visits are best undertaken in better weather. Also, that it is probably better to visit earlier in teh day, rather than later. By the time I had arrived, every keeper presentation / feeding session was over.
The staff were really helpful and knowledgeable - one keeper even called me back to say that an Orang Utan had just ventured outside.
As with all visits to nature, one cannot guarantee an optimal performance - on the other hand, a little prep and knowledge can help improve one's chances!
Monkey World should be supported.
翻译:首先,我赞扬救援中心对灵长类动物福利的杰出贡献以及围绕其展览/围栏的教育信息。
我在一个特别寒冷潮湿的二月下午参观了这里,当时大多数猴子(不像我)都选择在温暖的室内而不是户外运动。因此,我的这次参观非常令人失望,我只能远远地看到许多小猴子,远远地躲在肮脏的玻璃或厚厚的网后面。
在里面你可以加入猴子,这很棒。
还有一个很棒的林地步道,里面有非猿类野生动物。
如果我和一个更大的家庭团体一起去,我想孩子们不会喜欢这种程度的运动,因为猴子的可见度/活动很少,而且价值不大。只有一家咖啡店开门——考虑到游客数量,这是明智的经济——但我本可以有更多的机会喝杯热饮。
我加上这句话,不是为了劝阻任何人参观——而是建议最好在天气好的时候去参观。此外,最好是早点去,而不是晚点。当我到达时,饲养员的介绍/喂食环节都结束了。
工作人员非常乐于助人,知识渊博——一位饲养员甚至给我回电话说,一只红毛猩猩刚刚冒险出去了。
和所有自然之旅一样,不能保证最佳表现——另一方面,一点准备和知识可以帮助提高机会!
猴子世界应该得到支持。
