Kibeco, a creator of memorable experiences, offers rental animatronics that help theme parks, zoos, and museums provide educational and engaging days out for guests.
Interesting locations, unique expositions, and an immersive story are the magic ingredients of Tim Lammers‘ work with Kibeco. After working as a marketing manager at Burgers’ Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands, for ten years, Lammers says he wanted to use his experience, knowledge, and network in leisure to bring kids unforgettable experiences:
“I started organizing several events for children, such as expositions with life-like animatronics of dinosaurs and big insects. From there, people started asking me whether I could bring these experiences to other parks for side events. That’s when I saw the true potential of Kibeco’s rental service.”
There is a definite need for this kind of service. An increasing number of zoos, theme parks, and museums are searching for interesting methods to draw in new people and give returning visitors something fresh to do. Innovation and constantly bringing something fresh to the table are crucial. Side events are a great method to accomplish this and provide visitors with an educational experience at the same time.
A full package
Currently, Kibeco offers expositions with animatronics from ice-age animals, dinosaurs, and big insects.
“From massive wasps to ladybugs, and from ants to mosquitos: they move and make sounds,” says Lammers about the insects. These animatronics can be rented for at least a month, providing a foundation for a side event with educational value. “Oftentimes, guests say that they look so bizarrely real. Kids are often impressed, which gives them a lasting memory of an exciting, educational, and fun day.”
Kibeco assists with the concept setup in addition to providing the animatronics. It’s about the whole experience, so the exposition’s backstory needs to be accurate.
To ensure zoos, theme parks and museums have all the advantages of a side event with none of the trouble, Kibeco provides the full package, from content for signing to animatronics transportation and ideas for activities to maintenance. Kibeco plans to increase the scope of its immersive exhibitions in the upcoming years, focusing on their educational potential.
“Whether guests are learning about the world of insects or how dinosaurs once roamed this planet, I want guests to go home with new facts learned and something that they keep talking about for weeks if not months,” says Lammers.
Kibeco and ThisPlays
ThisPlays, a leading photobooth provider in Europe sees Kibeco’s events popping up in key zoos, aquariums, and attractions. ThisPlays founder and owner Mark van der Weide says:
“We met before, and given the success, value, and impact of their events, we decided to add their themes to our photobooth: with success! Their photo frame is chosen 63% of the time, while every booth has around 15 frames to choose from. This proves the popularity of their expositions and how alive they are during a day out in the park. No wonder they also started their own summer events a few years ago.
“A real recommendation for parks and visitors!”
Kibeco currently focuses on the Dutch market but has ambitions to expand abroad.
