Bronx Zoo - ZooMap

Description
Welcome to the BetterMaps ZooMap app, Bronx Zoo version. Our custom interactive map plans the shortest route to your destination. Our mapping works even if you don't have a signal (web-based maps can't do that). Find animals, rides & attractions, food and more and our map will guide you to your destination. Get food (or a beer) and find the bathrooms when you're done (quickly!) Walk around knowing you don't have to remember where you parked (we do that for you - then bring you back to the car at the end of a long day). So have fun and get mapped. Free! - other zoos coming soon. ZooMap is not affiliated with the Bronx Zoo but we are a New York company (located in Brooklyn), and we LOVE the Bronx Zoo. When our CEO saw people enter the zoo and rush to a poorly executed wall map or try to navigate using an outdated paper map (uh, save the planet much?) he knew we could help. Our goal is to increase your fun, while saving your time (and trees). The BetterMaps ZooMap, Bronx Zoo version truly is the best way to explore the Bronx Zoo (more zoos are coming online very soon) without missing anything that you and/or the family want to see during your visit. The ZooMap digital guide brings you a whole new level of closeness to everything the Bronx Zoo has to offer. Once you have found what you are looking for, our custom algorithm shows you route overview, how away you are, and approximate time to walk there. Simply hit Go and just follow the blue line to get there. Our flashlight points you in the right direction (use your phone as a wayfinder). Veer off the path, no problem, our map adapts to your movements and reroutes instantly. Tap onscreen icons, use the search bar or drop down menu to find animals, food, rides and attractions – even bathrooms and water fountains on those hot days. Soon you will be able to receive notifications concerning feeding times, ride closures or any other up to the minute information you need to have the best time possible in the zoo. ZooMap Features SAVE PARKING SPACE - Upon arrival you can save your parking location and BetterMaps will bring you right back to where you parked at the end of the day – no more having to use your door lock fob to find your car beeping in the distance. GET TO KNOW THE ANIMALS - Use our menus to learn about the animals, species and where they are from. GET DIRECTIONS VIRTUALLY ANYWHERE IN THE ZOO - Find Animals, Exhibits, Rides, Restaurant and shopping, then click the MapMe walker icon. You will see how far and approximate time to walk there. Click Go and our live map will bring you to your destination. Veer off course and BetterMaps will adapt in real time. BE IN THE KNOW - Receive notifications updating you on ride and animal closures - Receive discounts from surrounding businesses FOR BUSINESS OWNERS: MALLS, ZOOS, PARKS, MUNICIPALITIES, AMUSEMENT BetterMaps takes maps to a whole new level – the micro-level. We create maps for smaller spaces, such as zoos, amusement parks, cemeteries and even municipalities and outdoor malls. Use Google or Apple Maps to get you there, use BetterMaps to get around. check out our website: www.bettermaps.app But we do more than just help you visitors navigate, we provide communications as well – send out the latest news and updates, tell your visitors what’s going on before they arrive. Get information into the hands of your customers: food and drink specials, shopping deals, popup sales and other updates to make their day more rewarding and keep them coming back.

User Reviews
This is a scam. It’s a useless app
Works and a native app would be nice, but very mediocre. Food and drink locations super out of date, pins in random parts of the US. UI very dated. The Bronx website map is better, waste of money.
good map but it glitches compared to the gps location its off this needs improvement
Great map for while in the zoo
Great idea but if you’re pushing a stroller the routes the app suggests aren’t always suitable. The app could use an accessible route mode to make it helpful for people using wheels to get around. The zoo itself does have accessible options but we expected this app to consider that.
Very little signal in the park, some dead zones so a good part of the time the map was useless.
Stick to the website it’s free. Does the same thing. This app is a rip off. You already pay so much to enter the zoo and they make you pay for a virtual map too. Rip off
Got us around d with ease
This app may be useful when you’re at the zoo, but not when you’re planning your trip. 1) The menu is not useful outside the zoo: If I find the butterfly garden in the list of experiences, the app should show me the location. But outside the zoo, the app can’t show you how to walk there, so it won’t highlight the butterflies on the map. 2) The map is also not useful outside the zoo: it’s too overwhelmed by the many large icons. Let me choose which icons to see! If I’m using public transit, let me hide the parking icons; if I’m not buying food, let me hide the food icons.
Loved it!
