Aquarium booking software

• keyboard_arrow_downHow is Anolla’s aquarium booking software different from standard booking calendars?
  Most aquarium visit calendars only cover scheduling. Anolla is a comprehensive all-in-one revenue-optimizing aquarium booking and visitor flow platform for water and marine life centers. The solution connects ticketing, visitor management (CRM), exhibit area reservations, guided tour planning, and automated visitor communication. Unlike static calendars, Anolla uses artificial intelligence to forecast visitor flows and distribute visit times intelligently. Anolla supports dynamic ticket pricing as well as variable pricing for tours and educational programs. The software manages hourly visit windows, day tickets, and multi-day marine-themed camps in parallel, keeping the entire aquarium visitor load in a single central booking dashboard.
• keyboard_arrow_downDoes Anolla support hourly and multi-day aquarium visits at the same time?
  Yes, this is one of Anolla’s key competitive advantages as aquarium booking software. Unlike many visit-booking systems, Anolla does not force aquariums to commit to a single ticketing model. The platform simultaneously supports timed-entry slots, day tickets, and multi-day marine-themed programs and camps. In addition, you can manage variable-duration guided tours, behind-the-scenes experiences, backstage visits, and private aquarium events. All aquarium bookings—from family tickets to school group tours—are consolidated into a central aquarium calendar. Anolla is ideal for hybrid aquariums that combine general visits with conference rooms, educational programs, birthday packages, and corporate events.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does the Anolla AI assistant reduce administrative workload and human errors in aquarium visitor management?
  Anolla’s automated AI customer support assistant for aquariums runs 24/7 on every visiting day. The smart virtual agent answers repeat questions about tickets, visiting hours, guided tours, birthday packages and gift cards, automatically resolving up to 79.3%¹ of standard visitor inquiries. The assistant also handles up to 52.4%¹ of first-level technical support for the aquarium’s booking portal without the need for intervention from box office staff or the visitor coordinator. Automated visitor communication – emails, SMS reminders, visit time changes and group booking confirmations – reduces the aquarium’s admin time by up to 39.3%¹. The outcome is fewer booking errors, smoother entry at the gate and a more consistent visitor experience.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s dynamic pricing help aquariums offer visitors optimised ticket prices?
  The Anolla dynamic pricing module automates the ticket revenue strategy for aquariums. The aquarium’s sales manager can create rules that adjust ticket prices based on day of the week, time of day, season, marine life special events, or visitor groups (families, school classes, tour groups). All price changes are carried out automatically according to the aquarium’s business rules, taking into account both visitor volume and exhibit area occupancy. The system helps fill low-demand mornings and weekdays with discounted tickets and enables maximum ticket revenue during peak hours, weekends, and marine-themed events. The goal of dynamic pricing is to increase aquarium attendance, balance visitor flow, and improve the overall profitability of the aquarium.
• keyboard_arrow_downDoes Anolla work for both small aquariums and multi-location marine life centers?
  Yes, Anolla’s aquarium booking software is designed to scale for aquatic centers and aquariums of any size. A smaller aquarium or marine-themed education center can start with a powerful free plan that covers ticket sales, visit reservations and basic visitor communication. Multi-location aquarium chains and large marine world centers benefit from a centralized dashboard that brings together ticket offices, visit schedules and exhibition area bookings for all aquariums. The platform allows you to add unlimited aquarium locations, ticketing points, guides, exhibition halls and user accounts. Flexible role- and location-based access control (RBAC) ensures that cashiers manage only ticket sales, guides handle their tour schedules, and management sees consolidated statistics for the entire aquarium chain.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat tools and platforms does the Anolla aquarium booking software integrate with?
  The Anolla aquarium booking solution is built on an API-first architecture and supports key integrations that marine life centers use daily. For ticket payments and aquarium gift cards, there is a direct integration with Stripe that supports both online payments and on-site POS payments. The software offers deep integration with visitor analytics tools: Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel make it possible to track the visitor journey from online ticket purchase to on-site visit. Anolla allows aquarium visitation and ticket revenue raw data to be exported to BI/ML tools to analyze visitation patterns, repeat visits and campaign performance. The platform also includes a powerful API and integrations with other systems used by aquariums, such as marketing platforms, CRMs, membership management and digital signage.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat does Anolla’s free plan include for aquariums and what do the paid modules add?
  The Anolla free plan includes all the core features needed to launch visitor flow and ticket sales for an aquarium: online ticket sales, booking visit time slots, a simple visitor management base and automatic email confirmations. This plan is ideal for smaller aquariums, marine-themed education centres and new exhibitions that want to get online booking up and running quickly. Paid modules add unlimited automation flows for visitor communication, SMS reminders, additional ticket type hierarchies, deep integrations with marketing and analytics tools, and management of aquarium memberships and loyalty programmes. This way every aquarium can choose exactly the level of functionality that fits its visitor numbers and business model.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s usage-based pricing help reduce the business risks of an aquarium?
  Anolla’s usage-based pricing model is designed to mitigate the business risks of aquariums and marine life centres. An aquarium does not have to pay high fixed monthly fees during periods when visitor numbers or ticket revenue are lower, for example in off-season. Software costs always scale in proportion to actual booking volume, online ticket sales and the number of active visitors. This model is ideal for seasonal marine life centres, outdoor aquariums and attractions whose visitor volumes depend on weather, tourism periods and school holidays. This way the aquarium keeps overheads under control and can direct more resources into developing exhibitions and improving the visitor experience.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow quickly can an aquarium start using Anolla’s booking software?
  Launching aquarium bookings with Anolla typically takes just a few minutes, and the entire setup process is guided by a 24/7 context-aware AI assistant tailored to aquarium ticketing, visiting windows and guided tours. The platform’s ease of use is rated 5/5 on Capterra¹, and more than eight out of ten visitor team members master the core functionality of the aquarium booking system in less than 30 minutes¹. This means that cashiers, guides and visitor coordinators can quickly migrate their workflows to the new platform without having to schedule long training days.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat makes Anolla’s aquarium booking platform a future-proof solution?
  Anolla’s aquarium booking software is future-proof thanks to its extensible modular architecture, which evolves with the needs of aquatic and marine life centers. The cloud-based solution and AI-driven learning continuously improve visitor flow management and revenue optimization based on aquarium visitation patterns. Unlike static booking tools, Anolla is built around a powerful API that enables aquariums to integrate ticketing, memberships, and donation systems into a single ecosystem. The extensible modular platform also supports IoT solutions such as access control in turnstiles, electronic ticket scanners, equipment rental management, and environmental sensor data collection from exhibition areas. This architecture allows aquariums to continually integrate the latest technologies and keep their visitor management and ticketing tools at the forefront of the market.
