The Houston Zoo Chooses Doubleknot for its Zoo-Wide Online Registration Technology and More

HOUSTON, TX – The Houston Zoo (www.houstonzoo.org) has selected Doubleknot (www.doubleknot.com), a leading provider of software and services to zoos and other non-profit organizations, for its registration technology for membership purchases, and online ordering including events, classes, camps, rentals, donations and Adopt an Animal. In addition, Doubleknot technology will support Houston Zoo’s online ticketing, partner websites and marketing and membership email communications.

After an extensive product comparison, Doubleknot was selected by the Houston Zoo based on its comprehensive solution offering and experience with other zoological organizations.

“Our requirements were far reaching, touching on most areas of our park operations” says Leslie Forestier, Chief Financial Officer, Houston Zoo, “In selecting Doubleknot, we chose a business partner with both breadth and depth in their technology” continued Forestier.

Zoo members and guests will be able to purchase memberships, register for camps, classes and other events with applicable discounts, print barcode entrance tickets, donate in a variety of ways (donate now, donate every month, Adopt an Animal, Buy a Brick) and securely pay online. Via a bi-directional integration with Raiser’s Edge(*), memberships purchased online are automatically synched with Houston Zoo’s master member database.
