Short Description:
This report details the opinions and behaviors of zoo-goers based on a survey of 505 U.S. adults who visited zoo attractions in 2011.

Abstract:

Study highlights:
  • Zoo-goers are generally more educated, more ethnically diverse, and earn higher incomes than other attractions guests.
  • Most zoo-goers are families (57%), though 4 in 10 visitors are adults without children present.
  • Exhibits of arachnids and/or insects were the exhibits most likely to be intentionally skipped by zoo-goers.
  • Introduction of a new species at the zoo is the most likely to drive patrons to revisit the zoo.
