Client Testimonials
"Expedition Dinosaur has been the perfect exhibition to draw our community back to the museum. At a time when we were expecting attendance to be a slow return, we are seeing our highest paid attendance in over 7 years. Stage 9 and EDG have been fantastic to work with on every level."
POPnology was even better than we thought it was! It is a great integration of objects, immersive spaces and interactivity that engages audiences of all different ages. The team at EDG and Stage Nine have been great to work with and very responsive. Prior to closing (22 weeks), the exhibition was drawing our largest attendance numbers in 4 years over the same time period. We are already looking forward to hosting our next exhibition from the EDG/Stage Nine team.

“[Rise of Mammals] was another smooth deinstall for us. Scott and Chuck had everything up and out in record time with a minimum of fuss. You guys are the gold-standard for installs / deinstalls.
For us, at just over 600 people on average per day, ROTM was the best attended show in nearly 10 years, and this is without any school group visits (!!!!). There's only one other exhibit that did better for us since I started keeping track (LEGOs not surprisingly).”

"Animation Academy is a brilliantly designed exhibit that is a breeze to install, complimented by little crate storage. We had very few technical issues considering the high number of interactives, and consumables are cost-effective to maintain. Furthermore, the exhibit provides a nostalgic experience for adults while offering enough hands-on activities to keep children entertained. Expect a great amount of positive feedback."

“I couldn’t have asked for a more engaging exhibit. With Animation Academy, guests of all ages were able to learn about the history and science of animation, but in a fun and interactive way. Adults and children alike were able to experience the excitement and nostalgia of childhood while building new memories of beloved animated characters. This exhibit was a huge success and we look forward to working with Stage 9 in the future.”

“The Lost World of Dragons really blew away all expectations. They really brought to life the fantasy of The world of Dragons and guests of all ages were drawn to it. This exhibit was packed all day and adding virtual reality to the experience was a really nice touch.”

"The response time for repairs and tech support in the Lost World of Dragons was awesome. I really appreciated that so that there was minimal impact to customer experience"

“I can whole-heartedly recommend Toytopia, not only as a fiscal performer, but also as a way of allowing multi-generational connectivity and engagement of audiences. It was a huge success here, outperforming all of our expectations. So much so, I’ve joked that I should re-book it for 4 years from now! Ha! All in all, I’d say our experience was a 9.5.”

"The Grand Rapids Public Museum hosted Expedition: Dinosaur and the exhibition did very well at our Museum, exceeding expected goals! Stage 9 Exhibits was a pleasure to work with from installation and set up, to marketing and promotions, retail and all the way up to the de-install. The team was responsive during the exhibit run, checking to see how the exhibition was going at our Museum and to see if there was anything they could do. The exhibit itself had great scientific information, along with the fabulous animatronic dinosaurs and there was something for everyone to enjoy."

“Expedition Dinosaur exceeded our expectations in terms of attendance and response from our visitors. We’ve had three different Stage 9 exhibits now and will definitely be working with their team again in the future.”

“The exhibit was well-received by our family audience – many reminiscing about their childhoods, especially the video games! Our exhibit attendance and revenue was up from the previous year and Toytopia was one reason that happened!”

“Turtle Bay has been working with Stage 9 Exhibits since 2013 to bring four of their wonderful exhibitions to our museum. It has always felt more like a partnership than a vendor client relationship and our audience can tell the difference with the customized immersive experiences and gift shop offerings. Exhibitions like Toytopia and Rock U, have been very popular with our guests. Troy and his team are hands-on and full service. We are looking forward to working with them again!”

Toytopia was a highly popular exhibit that quickly became a visitor favorite. It had broad, cross-generational appeal with a variety of engaging interactive elements. Even a year after leaving our facility, we still have visitors asking when it will be coming back! I would absolutely recommend Toytopia to any family-oriented museum looking for a crowd-pleasing exhibit.

“Hall of heroes has been a huge hit for us this year. far exceeding our expectations. Our visitors have been blown away by the mix of super heroes, interactive games, and real life heroes. I’ve had lots of people tell me it’s the best exhibit we’ve ever had. “ In fact, Hall of Heroes set a new touring exhibit record for our venue and visitors rated it higher than our previous touring exhibits.”

Popnology is such a great exhibit. There’s something for kids and adults... and it’s just a great overall experience.

“Hall of Heroes was a big success for MOSH. The show outperformed all other non-summer exhibits for the past four years in terms of daily attendance and gate revenue. The subject matter was a huge draw. The combination of pop culture history and science and the high level of interactivity appealed to many interests and age demographics. The exhibition is cleverly designed and crated; it was quick to install (we opened early!) and we didn’t need to devote space to crate storage. The exhibit lent itself to some fun programming; our museum even hosted a local comic con. MOSH is very happy to have hosted Hall of Heroes.”

“Toytopia was an amazing exhibition experience for our guests. Adults and caregivers reveled in the nostalgia, and children went wild over the oversized games and giant piano! It was always interesting to see what about the exhibit sparked curiosity in the eyes of each guest! The Stage 9 team is a delight to work with and not only installed and uninstalled the exhibit with speed and efficiency, but supported technical challenges throughout the open period with the utmost responsiveness.”
