The Indianapolis Zoo has a strong platform of educating families and getting them interested in the world around them. My family and I support the Indianapolis Zoo.

Are there elements of and lessons learned from the Zoo that may be applied to the Childrens' Museum? Yes.

Does membership in one preclude membership in the other? For families with tight financial situations, possibly. Are there families that participate in both? Absolutely.

Are the two entities aware of each other? Certainly. Do they work together? Possibly, but not overtly in a public manner.

If I show my Childrens' Museum membership card at the Zoo and demand entrance, I will be denied access.

Does that bother me? Not at all - in fact, I'd be shocked if the opposite were true.

Are the two entities in direct competition with each other? It could be viewed that way.
Do they both serve the same population? Generally speaking, yes.

Do they waste one neuron on stealing each other's pieces of the pie, or do they focus on making the overall pie bigger through outreach programs of their own making and celebrating and promoting their own brands?
The latter.

They are both successful and inspirational institutions that are pillars of our community. While some individuals may have stronger personal allegiances to one over the other, they are both widely respected and cherished.

We're very excited about the lengthening of the scoring peg and the change allowing feederbots - a strategy we could very likely employ given the right circumstances.

Although the original document could have used a bit more proofreading, I wish to commend the GDC on a truly well-thought-out and engaging game. At first I thought the game was way too complicated to explain to a layperson, but in the end I believe the gameplay will speak for itself. Well done.
