See low ratings right away

Every response arrives as an instant e-mail (or Telegram) notification, so you see a rating below 3 stars right away and can offer a return visit voucher.

Review requests for every visitor

Every visitor gets the same invitation to leave a TripAdvisor or Google review, whatever their score. Every response also arrives as an instant e-mail notification, so your team sees low scores right away and can fix the issue.

Survey link in ticketing emails

Frequently Asked Questions

When should aquariums survey visitors?

Use a QR code at the exit on signs and in the gift shop, a survey link in the next-day e-mail to ticket buyers, a post-event survey for sleepovers and touch tank programs, and a quarterly survey for members. Each one shows something different: exhibit engagement, education, conservation and member retention.

What should aquarium surveys cover?

Exhibit clarity and animal visibility, dive show and feeding program engagement, touch tank/interactive experiences, café and gift shop value, accessibility (sensory, mobility), conservation messaging, and NPS. Member versions add value-of-membership.

How do surveys protect membership and field trip revenue?

Member and school group feedback catches dissatisfaction early. Targeted programs can win back at-risk members, and fixing what teachers point out makes schools more likely to book the next field trip.

Can I evaluate dive shows, feedings and interactive experiences separately?

Yes. Each survey tags exhibit, program type and time slot. Education and ops see scorecards; identifies which programs delight, which need refresh, and which animals are reliably engaging with hard data.

How do surveys grow conservation donor and grant revenue?

Data on visitor engagement and how conservation messages land supports donor pitches and foundation or government grant applications. Presented alongside your research, it gives funders concrete evidence that the message reaches people.

Does SurveyNinja integrate with aquarium ticketing and CRM systems?

Yes, through webhooks, Zapier and our API. New responses can be sent to your ticketing system, CRM or a spreadsheet when it accepts data from Zapier or webhooks. To survey after a visit, a renewal or an event, add the survey link to the confirmation or follow-up e-mail your system already sends.

How am I alerted to animal welfare concerns and visitor complaints in real time?

Each new response can send an email notification to the director and curator (or a Telegram message on Standard plans and up), so a low score or a comment about an animal that looked stressed, tank conditions or visitor safety is seen right away. You can also send responses to Slack through Zapier. Responding the same day helps keep a concern from spreading on social media or in the press.

Can I start from a template?

Yes. Start from a template such as Customer Satisfaction Survey, Event Feedback Survey or NPS Survey and change the questions for a visitor CSAT, member and donor surveys, school groups, sleepovers and special programs, accessibility and conservation engagement.

How do aquariums get more TripAdvisor, Google and Yelp reviews?

At the exit on the day of the visit, every visitor gets the same invitation to leave a review on the platform of their choice, whatever their score. Each response also reaches the guest experience team as an instant e-mail notification, so low scores are seen right away and the issue gets fixed. Fresh TripAdvisor reviews help tourists choose you, and Google reviews help local families decide.

How do they help with exhibit refresh and major capex decisions ($5-200M+ builds)?

Aggregated visitor demand, exhibit gaps and accessibility data informs master planning. Top aquariums justify $10-200M+ exhibit investments with concrete projections — beats consultant pitches and peer competitor benchmarking.
