Dynamic pricing at the Indianapolis Zoo addressed the critical issue of attendance administrators were hoping to address.

One of my favorite examples of a museum that does this beautifully is the Indianapolis Children's Museum, where they end each day with a parade that goes from their top floor to the bottom, collecting families along the way. In Indianapolis, a shared song, some flags to wave, and a collective snowball of people rolling down to the exit replaces the tears with a celebratory event. Think of the last time you overcame a huge obstacle.
