MEMBERS—Please
help us!
Chicago Children’s Museum, in conjunction with the Association of
Science-Technology Centers, is working with Reach Advisors, a visitor research
firm, to conduct a national survey about what kinds of science information
people want from their local science museums. As a participating museum
in this study, we hope you might be willing to share 7-9 minutes of your
thoughts in this important survey.
Our museum will greatly benefit from this study as well by having access
to results from our visitors, helping us make our museum better for you.
Although as a children’s museum we offer more than science programming,
when responding to this survey please think about our science-based exhibits
and programs.
In exchange for your time, Reach Advisors will be selecting some of the
participants to win gifts ranging from museum memberships to gift certificates
to Amazon.com or iTunes.
Your individual information will be kept confidential
and will not be shared
or used for any solicitations.
To take the survey, click
here.
If you have any problems with the survey, please
feel free to e-mail Susie
Wilkening, of Reach Advisors,
at Susie@reachadvisors.com.
Thank
you!

Stunning, photo-realistic computer animation transports audiences back
to the Late Cretaceous, when a great inland sea divided North America in
two. The film follows a curious and adventurous dolichorhynchops—familiarly
known as a ‘dolly’—as she travels through the most dangerous
oceans in history. Along the way, she encounters long-necked plesiosaurs,
giant turtles, enormous fish, fierce sharks, and the most dangerous sea
monster of all, the mosasaur. IN STUNNING IMAX 3D!
Special Offer for CCM Members
Print and present this email to receive one free child admission with the
purchase of a regular price adult admission to Sea Monsters 3D at the Navy
Pier IMAX Theatre. For show times, click here.
