The construction of check-in desks for themed spaces often involves careful attention to detail. The desks may resemble a variety of objects, such as pirate ships, treehouses, or futuristic control centers, depending on the theme. Materials and finishes may also be selected to match the theme, with wood, metal, and glass being common choices.

Besides their aesthetic considerations, check-in desks must be functional and efficient. Staff must be able to easily access the desk to check in guests and answer questions. Guests must be able to quickly and easily find the desk to begin their experience. This may involve careful placement, signage, and the use of technology to streamline the check-in process. Reception desk designs can also be made mobile so they can be rolled out of the way when not in use.

By carefully considering both the aesthetic and functional aspects of these desks, venues can create a cohesive and engaging environment that delights and entertains visitors from start to finish.

A common issue is how to deal with the influx of people at check-in. Wacky World has come up with a variety of solutions to process many people simultaneously. From spacing out multiple check-in locations to single-point desks with many stations, we strive to make it fun and integrate well with the chosen theme of the area.

Check-in desks can be made by simply adding a wrap around an existing desk or created as a 2D facade or a 3D sculpted feature! They can be easily disguised as just another part of the scenery. We have created check-in desks that look like road cases, travel trailers, and shipping crates. We have lemonade stands, even surf shacks, and covered wagons!
