Greetings ISEN and Museum-Lers.  Apologies for any duplicate postings.

I'm working on a project with the Interpretive and Guest Services
Department here at Shedd Aquarium.

They offer themed tours of our animal collection to the general public
for $3 per person and are unhappy with the low response.  We will be
digging into our past visitor studies and investigating present visitor
views on such tours this spring.

Who out there offers guided (not audio) tours for a fee separate from
general admission?  Is there information about how these were planned or
assessment of effectiveness?

Thanks
