From Heart of Africa in Columbus, to the Georgia Aquarium, to the award-winning Sea Lion Sound in St. Louis, our attractions reflect our commitment to innovation, a passion for animals, and a deep understanding of visitors. No one knows more about connecting people and animals in meaningful ways than PGAV Destinations.
Our designs enrich the experiences of your guests – and your animals – because they’re built on research and insight.
We understand how and why people move through exhibits and attractions. We know how to reveal surprising and delightful details in the right way, at the right time. From understanding and influencing guest (and animal) behavior, to incorporating technology and multimedia in new ways, we’re always looking to boldly go a step further. We know that it makes a difference in the lives of your guests.

We know your animals are the heart of your institution, which is why they’re at the heart of everything we do.
From day one, we’ll collaborate with your experts to create a program for healthy, happy animals, and safe, staff-friendly spaces for training, veterinary care, and enrichment. Back-of-house experiences are integrated into our designs from the very beginning.
Every corner, every walkway, every exhibit, and every space makes an impact.
Our work with zoos and aquariums extends beyond individual animal exhibits to include other critical aspects of the guest experience, like gift shops, restaurants, special event facilities, and wayfinding.
70% of guests believe zoos should be the most green of all attractions.
