Monkey Haven vs VZTA

Monkey Haven is an award-winning primate rescue centre on the Isle of Wight, UK. You can use our app to plan your visit, check the current Keepers’ Talks and Feed Times, and to get the lowdown on your favourite animals at the Haven, with photos, information and videos featuring our keepers in action. While you’re at the Haven, as a souvenir you can add Monkey Haven filters to your selfies using our in-app camera. Visitors to the Haven can also use the app to scan coded signs placed around the grounds to follow a Banana Badge trail: collect all 9 ‘virtual bananas’ and collect a tiny treat from our Gift Shop. Plus, hidden signs can be scanned to go ‘behind the scenes’.

The VZTA app is part of the wider suite of tools that form the VZTA Smart Towns Ecosystem. If the app doesn’t currently exist in your town, your town leaders can request a demonstration from our VZTA team and find out how your town can join our Smart Towns Ecosystem. The VZTA Smart Towns app has been built to connect whole communities of businesses with their customers in one place to create thriving, sustainable places to shop, work and live, creating future proof high streets for future generations. VZTA allows businesses to unite in one platform, likened to social media for the high street, without the messy algorithms and the noise. When other towns come on board, VZTA will recognise the new location and it will transform into the app for that town making it even easier to support your local high street more often and explore hidden independent businesses when you visit new places. VZTA will help you see what’s happening by placing the high street in the palm of your hand. From shopping and product information to finding the perfect gift or place to eat. For things to see and places to go, VZTA brings your town together, making it quick and easy for you to find tourism and arts and culture opportunities, that exist in the town and the surrounding area. VZTA will help you understand the unique identity of the places and businesses you visit; creating a digital sense of place; understanding the local heritage and the people who live and work in the town.
