Desktop Self-Service Ticket Kiosk for Amusement Parks

KER Desktop Self-Service Ticket Kiosk is a compact unattended ticketing terminal designed for amusement parks, indoor playgrounds, arcades, tourist attractions and family entertainment centers.

The kiosk allows visitors to select admission tickets, play packages, timed sessions or entertainment services directly through the touchscreen. After completing payment with banknotes, coins or optional digital payment methods, the machine can automatically print a physical ticket, receipt, queue number or QR code voucher.

Its desktop design requires less installation space than a traditional floor-standing ticket machine, making it suitable for ticket counters, reception desks, entrance areas and smaller entertainment venues.

The hardware configuration and software workflow can be customized according to the customer’s ticketing system, payment requirements and operating process.
