Knowsley Safari is a zoological park and tourist attraction in the Knowsley area of Merseyside, England. Knowsley Safari contributes to conservation and research through links with conservation projects and universities.
With the business expanding, Knowsley Safari needed a Digital Signage solution that would act as a wayfinding tool as well as delivering key, up-to-date information. Static signage was becoming too costly and time consuming to change. An outdoor touch screen solution would provide the option of updating efficiently with real time information.
“Knowsley Safari has many activities and events happening. Things like our animal talks need flexible scheduling and static signage is costly and time consuming to change. A touchscreen gave the option of updating in real time so the information our guests were viewing was up to date.” – David Pennington, Marketing Executive, Knowsley Safari
