Zoos

dreamstime_tigerWe have implemented programs at over 40 zoos all across the US. This includes locations in large and small markets. Amusement Advantage has extensive experience conducting mystery shopping programs at zoos, working both directly with the zoo themselves and with 2nd and third party vendors and subcontractors within the zoos. We are well versed at overcoming the various challenges associated with these unique environments such as varying staff levels, changing presentation times and seasonal exhibits and services. We train our shoppers on proven techniques for engaging employees at presentations and habitats to properly evaluate their customer service skills. We also offer guidance as to how to deal with inclement weather. A typical zoo evaluation is approximately 8-10 pages long. Here is a list of areas covered on a typical evaluation:
