In the children’s museum ZOOM, children are welcome to ask questions, to touch and to feel, to investigate, feel and to play to their heart’s content in keeping with the motto of “Hands on, minds on, hearts on!” Here, children are encouraged to explore the world using all five senses, either on their own or in small groups.

The museum concept demands a booking system that can be used by both institutions and families alike to arrange visits for children of different ages to the museum and/or the studios and workshops. checkpointmedia has enhanced the booking procedure and its presentation and has improved the interface with the internal ticketing system to allow for different forms of ticket issuance (online, over the counter etc.). On its first day online, approximately 24,000 tickets were booked using the new system.

A separate zone especially for adults has been developed and installed for the website of the ZOOM children’s museum in Vienna’s Museumsquartier. The site content is being compiled and administered by means of the JART content management system, into which the existing website for children has also been integrated. One of the first steps was the implementation of an online booking facility.
