点评:'An overrated tourist trap' is how I would describe the Peabody Ducks experience! Still, it's a unique 'Memphis' experience and something us tourists must do!
We turned up early for the afternoon viewing and ordered drinks in the lobby bar/lounge area to kill some time. The drinks came with a cute rubber duck in them, which was fun.
By the time we were finished with our drinks, we made our way to the balcony overlooking the lobby, where we squished in between other onlookers for an average view.
After some pomp and circumstance favoring the small children seated near the elevator and fountain, the ducks marched out of the fountain and into the elevator, on their way up to their 'house' on the roof of the hotel.
Afterwards, we made our way to the roof to see where the ducks live and for views over Memphis. All the elevators were pretty clogged after the ceremony, so it took us some time to get up there, at which point we only had a few minutes on the roof as it was going to be closing. The views are worth going up there.
On retrospect, I wish we'd gone to the morning ceremony where the ducks march INTO the fountain and the light on the roof was better.
If you're tight on time in Memphis, you could skip this experience. We did however, enjoy generally wandering the hotel and gift shops.

翻译:我会用“被高估的旅游陷阱”来形容皮博迪鸭子之旅!不过,这仍然是一次独特的“孟菲斯”之旅,也是我们游客必须体验的!
我们很早就到了,在下午的观赏活动中,在大堂酒吧/休息区点了饮料来消磨时间。饮料里有一只可爱的橡皮鸭,很有趣。
喝完饮料后,我们走到俯瞰大堂的阳台,挤在其他旁观者中间,欣赏着普通的景色。
在电梯和喷泉附近为小孩子们准备了一些盛大的仪式后,鸭子们走出喷泉,走进电梯,前往酒店屋顶上的“家”。
之后,我们走到屋顶,看看鸭子住在哪里,欣赏孟菲斯的景色。仪式结束后,所有电梯都挤得水泄不通,所以我们花了一段时间才到达那里,而那时我们只能在屋顶上待几分钟,因为屋顶就要关门了。那里的景色值得一看。
回想起来,我希望我们能去参加早上的仪式,那里的鸭子会进入喷泉,屋顶上的灯光会更好。
如果你在孟菲斯的时间很紧,你可以跳过这次体验。不过,我们确实喜欢在酒店和礼品店里闲逛。
