New! Zoo Miami mobile app and WiFi

Post Date:4/27/2012

Zoo Miami is pleased to announce the launch of the Zoo Miami mobile application as well as free Wi-Fi in four large areas in the zoo.  The mobile app is free to download and is available for the iPhone at the App Store and the Android platform at the Android Marketplace under the search term Zoo Miami.

The Zoo Miami mobile app features:
• A GPS enabled map displaying guest’s location and includes a “Near Me” button which lists the Zoo’s animal habitats, concessions, restrooms and more in proximity to the guest’s location.
• The “Calendar” button features a 90-Day Planner that allows guests to create a personalized schedule of upcoming special events.
• The application’s homepage includes useful information such as:  “Plan Your Visit”, “Daily Adventures”, “Exhibits & Attractions”, “Become a Member”, “Donate”, “Become a Volunteer” and a special tool called “Friend Finder” that allows guests to locate their friends at the Zoo.
• The “Animals” button provides guests with photos and facts about Zoo Miami animals as well as the option to “Adopt Me” which allows guests to participate in the Zoological Society of Florida’s Adopt-An-Animal program.  Some of the animals even have videos.
• The application’s “More” button provides users with helpful information about the Zoo’s social media and FAQ.
