Roto has produced in more than 150 museums with exhibits, attractions, and architectural features throughout the world. Our team of over 85 professionals offer a broad and unique skill set, combining design and development excellence with in-house engineering and fabrication for a wide array of exhibits and attractions.

Our central idea of "Building Genuine Human Connections" stems from our reflection of what physical “experiences” mean to the users of multisensory visitor destinations like zoos, museums and attractions. Why do people buy tickets and go? Many answers emerge, including a chance to tangibly experience the world with our whole bodies, rather than just our eyeballs; the desire to do things larger than ourselves, that transport us outside our routine home and work spaces within environments we find original and immersive; and the desire to connect with friends and family in a way that is deeper and more authentic.

We make connections between people and their world, their communities and themselves, using play, discovery, nature, participation, stories, and sharing. We do this in ways that are uniquely human, using the whole power of human thinking, feeling, social and sensory ability. And our ways are real and genuine, tangible and deep, more substance, more true, less superficial, less virtual, less hype. The world needs stronger, deeper and more genuine human connections. We need more opportunities to explore with our whole physical bodies, to be transformed by unique environments, and to do meaningful and memorable things with those we love most.
