Rachael,
At www.informalscience.org you may find several things that are helpful.In particular, Type in "play" in the search box. Randi Korn & Associates has a research report with a good set of references that I think you will find useful and accessibily presented:
Audience Research:Understanding Visitors and TheirExperiences at Please Touch Museum at Memorial Hall\
This includes a PDF you can download and several links to articles and reports on play.
Welcome to the list and how your project goes splendidly!
Best Regards,
Carey
