Please look into the Center for Research, Evaluation and Assessment at The Lawrence Hall of Science (http://lawrencehallofscience.org/education/evaluation). As the web site notes, we do a lot of evaluation work for external clients; including informal institutions such as science centers. We have experience evaluating educational programs both internally and through projects funded by NSF-ISE, IMLS, NOAA and NASA. I head up the team that does work in informal settings and would be happy to talk with you about your evaluation needs.
