Attractions.io, a leading creator of mobile visitor apps, has partnered with San Diego Wildlife Alliance in order to launch a new mobile app experience, created to enhance guest visits and to digitise memberships and ticketing, as well as to boost conservation efforts.
San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance is the nonprofit conservation organisation behind the popular San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park in California, US. The new apps will play a key role in bringing a unified, branded experience to both venues.
Creating a better digital experience
The organisation is the largest zoological membership association in the world and was in need of a way to introduce a better digital experience for its 500,000 members – one which allows visitors to store tickets and passes digitally.
Thanks to the new apps from Attractions.io, visitors to both parks will now enjoy seamless, scan-and-go entry, which cuts down on both the need for waiting lines and the need for paper tickets and printed maps.
More and more zoos are adopting mobile apps to help them communicate better with their guests, to improve the overall visitor experience and, in the wake of COVID-19, enable social distancing. Apps also help organisations such as the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance to support their conservation missions by identifying more engaged visitors and sharing relevant information on how they can help.
Connected & on-brand
“We’re really excited about this new partnership with Attractions.io,” says Damien Lasater, Associate Director of Marketing at San Diego Zoo and Safari Park. “We recognise the importance of technology in future-proofing the guest experience and meeting the expectations of our guests and members. These apps will be an integral part of our vision for a connected, on-brand digital offering that adds more value and creates a better experience for day visitors and members alike.”
“We’re incredibly proud to be able to support San Diego Zoo as one of the world’s leading wildlife organisations,” adds Danielle Bastiaens, Head of Delivery of Attractions.io.
“We’re confident that the new app will make significant and measurable improvements to the guest experience at the Zoo and Safari Park and unlock new opportunities to further the fantastic conservation work they do.”
Attractions.io also recently worked with ZooTampa at Lowry Park in Tampa, Florida, to create a new visitor app, which features an interactive map, animal facts, real-time messaging, guest service information, ticketing and more.
