I would suggest that you get a copy of:

The ASTC Sourcebook of Science Center Statistics 2002 includes data compiled
from 2002 member surveys on attendance patterns and trends; school groups,
teachers, and youth; employees and volunteers; and science center finances.
Included this year is a listing of exhibitions, by topic, at more than 100 science
centers and museums. 80 pp.

This will provide you with a lot of good basic data for planning/fundraising
purposes.
