1) Explicit scheduling
This interface assumes the user wants to directly control every aspect of the timing. Instead of choosing a day of the week, the user inputs a date. Instead of selecting the time budget, the user explicitly inputs when he will arrive and leave.
After this information is entered, a list of available sessions, animals, and exhibitions are shown along with 'checkmark' boxes next to them.
The user then begins clicking on the ones he is interested in.
A schedule is maintained below. It is somewhat simple (ordered icons for each visiting event) but also has detailed timed information below it (e.g., buy tickets at 1pm, go to tank A at 1:30pm). The option to buy tickets online is added to the beginning of the schedule.
