      We're asking visitors to complete two quick surveys – one before and one after the exhibit.

      Each survey has just three short questions and only takes a minute or two.


      Your answers will help us understand what you’ve learned, how the experience has impacted you, and how we can make future activities even better.

      • Pre-Visit Survey(External link)
      • Post-Visit Survey(External link)
