Adventure Cove

Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

In the first major expansion at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in 6 years, the new Adventure Cove exhibit brings animal experiences to the zoo’s front door. Roto was awarded the theming & interpretive design-build contract in 2019, and worked directly with zoo staff, including animal keepers, educators, and facilities team members throughout the project.

Highlights

Highly-themed and sustainable animal enclosures

Elaborate setworks in facilitated animal encounters
