We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Adventure - thanks so much for letting us know! Best regards The eATLAS Team
Overall a fun thing to add to our trip to the zoo! It was a little complicated to get to the actual activity (since I purchased through Viator and had to access the activity through eAtlas), but was fairly straightforward once I figured it out. We couldn’t find everything, but also didn’t see every single thing at the zoo.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us—we’re always looking for ways to improve! We’re glad to hear that the adventure was a fun addition to your zoo trip. We’re also sorry to hear that parts of the experience didn’t meet expectations. We’ve since made some updates to the Adventure to make finding all the objectives easier, and we’re considering creating a more comprehensive tour, for visitors who want to see everything the zoo has to offer! If you’re open to it, we’d love to learn more about what could have made the app downloading process easier. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at adventures@playeatlas.com.
The difficulty in starting. I paid for this on Wednesday or Thursday but when I started this on Friday I was not easily able to tell the website that I had already paid and I had to pay again...I think. We were confused with the question and.picture of the building that used to be a public restroom.
We greatly regret the inconvenience. The redemption instructions were updated on Friday, August 11th to remove any reference to the eATLAS website, as Viator / TripAdvisor purchasers should only go directly to the eATLAS mobile app, from where they can access the purchased Adventure. We will double-check our purchasing logs, and any duplicate purchase will be promptly refunded.
