As summer approaches, three of North America’s leading zoos—Detroit Zoo, Brookfield Zoo Chicago, and Toronto Zoo—have unveiled new mobile apps designed to transform the visitor experience. Powered by Attractions.io and supported by Cinchio Solutions, these state-of-the-art apps aim to enhance guest engagement, streamline operations, and support the zoos’ educational and conservation missions.
Attractions.io, known for its work with prestigious zoos such as San Diego Zoo and London Zoo, offers a platform that integrates key visitor touchpoints. This technology provides interactive maps, real-time updates, and personalized itineraries, ensuring a seamless and informative experience. The inclusion of features like digital ticketing and educational content further enhances convenience and learning, fostering a deeper connection to the animals and the conservation efforts championed by these institutions.
The collaboration with Cinchio Solutions adds a layer of localized support, tailoring the platform to meet the unique needs of North American zoos. Cinchio’s expertise, rooted in over 50 years of experience in cultural institutions through the SSA Group, allows for a customized approach that aligns with the specific demographic and operational needs of each zoo.
Ted Ismert, COO of Attractions.io, expressed excitement about the partnership, highlighting its role in generating positive experiences for zoo guests and supporting the broader mission of conservation and education. Similarly, Katie Back of Brookfield Zoo and Dolf DeJong of Toronto Zoo emphasized the apps’ potential to deepen guest engagement and make zoo visits more memorable and impactful.
With the additional integration of Cinchio’s mobile food ordering solutions, as seen at Detroit Zoo, the partnership exemplifies a comprehensive approach to modernizing visitor experiences. This initiative not only meets the demands of today’s digitally-savvy visitors but also supports zoos in achieving their operational and mission-driven goals.
The success of these new app launches showcases the importance of leveraging technology to enhance the guest experience in the attractions sector. As zoos continue to innovate, collaborations like this will play a crucial role in connecting people with nature and promoting conservation efforts on a global scale.
