Plan and promote your animal encounter

Organizing a successful nature experience requires careful planning to ensure a great time for your guests and the well-being of the animals. Your ticketing system is central to managing visitor flow and maximizing revenue for your conservation and care efforts.

Here’s how to get started:

  • Define Your Offerings: Will you sell general admission, special animal encounter tickets, or behind-the-scenes wildlife tour tickets? Create distinct ticket types for each, including options for members, families, or school groups.

  • Manage Capacity with Timed Entry: Use timed entry slots to control crowd sizes, prevent overcrowding at popular habitats, and provide a better experience for both visitors and animals. This is crucial for sensitive environments.

  • Set Up Your Event Page: Create a beautiful event listing with high-quality photos of your facility and animals. Clearly describe what visitors will see, your conservation mission, and any rules for interaction.

  • Promote Your Experience: Reach families, nature lovers, and tourists through email and social media marketing tools. Offer early-bird discounts to drive initial sales.

[Getting people in the door quickly] wasn’t something that happened before. But since we’ve switched to Eventbrite, we decided to release all of our tickets ahead of time instead of holding the majority to sell at the door.Megan Wilson, Director of Digital Strategy, Harpoon Brewery
