Guest WiFi for Zoos & Theme Parks
Coverage from the gate to the far fence line.
A family queues twice for the same ride because nobody told them the wait had dropped. This network fixes that — POPIA-compliant, over the access points you already own, from the team behind 430+ South African venues. Mesh coverage reaches the farthest paddock and the last kiosk, not just the gate, built for acres of open, outdoor site. A free, capped tier keeps everyone connected, and a faster paid tier runs on an automated voucher system — Purple never touches the payment itself. And the same login can do more — Beyond can wire it into the park's own ordering system, so a snack called in from the queue is waiting at the kiosk by the time a family gets there.
What are you here to solve?
Four ways into zoos & theme parks. Pick the one that sounds like your week.
The gate-to-far-fence WiFi Purple already proves
Location Analytics reads outdoor movement and Paid WiFi runs tiered day-visitor bandwidth — proven capabilities on the platform running 80,000+ venues. Recognition and Paid WiFi run on separate network names; we scope which fits each gate.
Coverage that doesn't stop at the gate
A mesh network reaches across acres of open site — the paddock at the back, the kiosk at the far end — not just the entrance turnstile.
A revenue line, not just a cost line
Paid WiFi's free capped tier keeps every visitor connected; a faster paid tier runs on an automated voucher system, with Purple never touching the payment itself.
Every device counted, even outdoors
Location Analytics reads footfall and dwell across the open site the same way it does an indoor floor, from the access points already installed.
Filtered, family-safe by default
AI Shield enforces SafeSearch and blocks adult and objectionable content at the DNS layer, live in minutes, with no hardware change.
Compliant by design
ISO 27001 / 9001 certified, GDPR / POPIA-aligned, with data collection kept to what a ticket or membership sign-up already asks for.
And the same login can do more than connect. Step inside for ten seconds.
The ten seconds your visitor never notices.
A first-time visitor connects at the gate.
A branded welcome, one tap — the park's own map opens straight to the nearest ride or enclosure, not a generic homepage.
A returning season-pass holder orders ahead.
Recognised at the gate, not asked for a card. Beyond can wire that match to the park's ordering system, so a snack called in from the queue is waiting by the time they reach the kiosk.
A seasonal gate steward, on shift.
Passwordless access ties to the park's own seasonal roster — on for the season, and gone automatically the day it ends.
Your visitor never noticed the tech. Your team never lifted a finger.
Coverage from the gate to the farthest paddock, a snack waiting at the kiosk by the time a family gets there, and a live read on which ride or enclosure earns its keep — over the access points already installed.
Deployed, integrated and supported on the ground
Beyond runs and supports live WiFi estates across South Africa — deployed, integrated and kept POPIA-compliant on the ground, not from a call centre in another timezone. Your zoos run on the same team that keeps 430+ venues online.
Across our estates we've delivered 11.9M+ guest logins and 1.9M+ POPIA-compliant opt-in records — first-party data that turns a login into a relationship.
Built on Purple — the platform trusted by some of the world's biggest brands, proven across 80,000+ venues in 90+ countries. We make that foundation yours.
What Beyond adds with your ticketing and your kiosks
The first-time visitor
They connect at the gate for a branded welcome; Beyond can wire that welcome to the park's own map, so it opens on the nearest ride or enclosure, not a generic homepage.
The returning season-pass holder
Recognised at the gate, not asked to dig out a pass. Beyond can wire that match to the park's own loyalty scheme, so a returning family hears about a new enclosure before the general on-sale.
The queue at the kiosk
Beyond can wire the connection into the park's own ordering system, so a snack called in from the queue is waiting at the counter by the time a family walks over.
The family-safe park
Buy the Shield add-on through us and we arrange the park's Friendly WiFi certification at no extra cost — a visible badge for parents that browsing here is safe, gate to gate.
The seasonal gate steward
Passwordless access ties to the park's seasonal roster — on for the season, and gone automatically the day it ends, with nobody having to remember to do it by hand.
You keep the park's own ticketing system, its ordering platform and the access points already covering the site. Beyond wires in coverage and recognition — no forklift upgrade, no new kiosk hardware.

Frequently asked
Does coverage reach the far end of an outdoor site?
Yes — a mesh network covers acres of open ground, the paddock or kiosk at the far fence line included, not just the gate.
Does Paid WiFi mean every visitor is charged just to connect?
No — a free, capped tier keeps everyone connected at the gate. A faster paid tier is optional, billed through an automated voucher system; Beyond never touches the payment itself.
Does a season-pass holder have to dig out their pass every visit?
No — the network recognises a returning pass holder's phone automatically at the gate, no card or app required.
Can the park be a recognised family-safe space?
Yes — buy the Shield add-on through us and we arrange the park's Friendly WiFi certification at no extra cost, a visible badge for parents.
What happens to seasonal staff access when the season ends?
It ends automatically. Access ties to the park's own seasonal roster, so it's revoked the moment the record closes.
