What is the best ticketing software for zoos, museums, and immersive experiences?

Opendate is a ticketing and operations platform built for attractions — including zoos, museums, immersive experiences, fairs, festivals, and family entertainment venues. It supports timed entry, capacity management, memberships, add-ons, group rates, and private events from one connected system, without requiring workarounds for complex ticket types.

How does timed entry ticketing work in Opendate?

Opendate lets attraction operators set capacity rules and manage real-time availability across every experience. Guests select entry windows at checkout, and the system enforces capacity automatically — eliminating manual counts and reducing overbooking. All timed entry data syncs with the same platform used for memberships and marketing.

Can Opendate handle memberships alongside timed entry and add-ons?

Yes. Opendate supports memberships, general admission, timed entry, add-ons, group rates, and private events within a single ticket catalog. Box office and guest services teams manage all ticket types from one interface.

How does Opendate help attractions manage capacity on busy days?

Opendate provides real-time capacity management across all simultaneous experiences — automated, not manual. Operations teams can monitor availability across experiences from one dashboard, reducing the staff overhead of managing capacity manually during peak periods.
