Zoo

The zoo’s app shows you where to find the different animals in the zoo. But that’s not all – it also has more information about animal shows and feeding times, the zoo’s restaurants, toilet facilities and the zoo's opening times. You can make a list of your favourite animals so that you can find them again easily. You can also test your knowledge about Zoo Zurich’s animals and conservation projects with the built-in zoo quiz.

The digital zoo experience: online tickets and an interactive app

You can now start your exciting visit to the zoo without having to queue for tickets at the payment desks, thanks to the new online ticket shop. And once you are in the zoo, the zoo app shows you where you can find all the different animals. An unforgettable day at the zoo starts digitally with the new online ticket shop and ends with fun games in the tried-and-tested app.

The zoo app – finding your way around the zoo

The app provides you with an interactive map, access to your tickets and games. The zoo app was introduced in 2019. It’s comprehensive and user-orientated, and offers both assistance and fun for the whole family during your trip to the zoo.

More than just a map – never miss feeding times or events again and playfully learn more about the animals

The integrated ticket shop that can do almost anything

Buying tickets online is nothing new. However, many solutions used to provide this service are outdated, expensive and limited in how well they can be combined with other platforms. In June 2020, Liip developed a Drupal commerce solution that can be fully integrated into the Drupal 8 CMS used for the zoo’s website, which has already paid off.

Technology and open source – our contribution to the community

Drupal thrives on its very active and innovative community. Here, the online ticket shop project contributed significant added value: the ticketing module was an innovative commerce feature developed by Liip especially, for this project.
