Digital Zoo

Conservation-minded organisations in general, zoos have been embracing digital signage as a more eco-friendly signage medium than printed posters, as well as a better way to actively engage visitors and drive revenues.  From the "best" zoo in the world to one of its oldest, digital signage has a history of enhancing the visitor experience at zoological gardens around the world.  The Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium — rated by TripAdvisor last year as the top zoo in the world — in Omaha, Nebraska, has deployed digital signage in several areas of the zoo, most notably a huge LED sign welcoming visitors to the zoo at the entrance. And the Bristol Zoo Gardens in Bristol, U.K. — founded in 1836 and among the oldest zoos in the world — deployed digital signage to engage visitors and deliver dynamic messages about wildlife and conservation.  And those are just two of many examples.  The Toronto Zoo and the Columbus (Ohio) Zoo and Aquarium recently joined their ranks in making the switch from static to digital or upgrading the digital already in place.
