World of Play
By Advertising Savants
Learning is definitely more fun when it’s combined with play and laughter. That’s the goal of World of Play at Reid Park Zoo.
The new nature playground is designed to engage the senses and stimulate the imagination as kids explore continental biodiversity through interactive play.
To bring the exhibit to life, our campaign was inspired by Indiana Jones and his rollicking escapades. Television, print, out-of-home and digital evoke the spirit of adventure that awaits at World of Play.
