Hi,

I'm putting together a survey to ask people about their experiences at zoos and what they would like to see/experience at zoos.

Here is our Preliminary Survey - if you have any suggestions please let us know.

NOTE: Please do not complete the survey in reply to THIS post - we'll put together the final questions and get you all to reply then!!!!

Thank you all!!!

---

How often have you been to the zoo in the past year?
How many different zoos have you been to within Australia?
What was your favourite enclosure at each of these zoos and why?
What was you favourite zoo and why?

What would you like to see changed in zoos in general and why?

Have you been to any zoos overseas?
Which countries were these zoos in and if you remember what were the zoos called.
What was your favourite enclosure at each of these zoos and why?
What was you favourite zoo and why?

What is your favourite animal?
If you were to help build a zoo how would you design it and what features would you put in it?

Have you ever had an animal experience?
What was this experience?
If it was a paid experience, did you think it was worth the money you paid?
Would you do this again?
If you have not had an animal experience what experience would you like to have if any?
If not why?

Would you ever consider getting accommodation at a zoo?
What facilities would you like to see when booking in?
 
Are Australians the target group of your survey, or are you just very interested in your native zoos (referring to the questions about Australia)?

Anyways, nice survey, maybe a question about "What is your local zoo and how far is it located from your place?"
 
This seems more the sort of survey one would give if planning to create a zoo for profit than to learn about zoo goers.
What is your goal here?
 
Just some suggestions:
1) If you are trying to reach a large, broad range of people, using a rating system is the best way. Ex: how would you rate your education experience? very weak; weak; neutral; strong; very strong. This is also important when reading the results and collecting data. With questions that require long answers, it can be difficult to determine what the person meant by his couple sentence answer.
2) Don't have questions that require an answer of more than a few words. Long questions have long answers and people don't want to spend more than two minutes filling out a survey on what their favorite enclosure is.
3) Keep it simple. Simple survey questions yield simple answers that you can use as good data.
