One way to evaluate effective exhibits is the behavior of visitors, which helps the exhibit planner to understand the connection between the conveying messages and visitors in the exhibitions. However, there are few related studies in exhibit evaluation for exhibit planners in the national parks. In this study, visitors to the 「Human and Nature」Exhibition at Taroko National Park were selected in random. A population of 281 visitors was unobtrusively observed to get the attracting power and holding power of each exhibit, as well as the behavior of visitors. In addition, visitors were interviewed with a questionnaire when the observation was over to understand their preference in each exhibit. A total of valid questionnaires were collected.
