In this research, we described with the extension of the LEGS system to use the system for providing the explanations or quizzes of animals to general visitors. In the LEGS system, the appropriate contents about the exhibits are displayed by acquiring and saving information about a user's position and the history of his/her past activities. We have evaluated this system by taking up a zoo, developing the contents for field study as an object of field study, and conducting an evaluation experiment, and also the contents for the general visitors were produced by zoo's experts and authors. We described the experiment of the extended LEGS system and the evaluation of the system investigated through a questionnaire in the experiment. The results of the questionnaire suggested that the LEGS system inspires the participants' interests in animals in the zoo.
