Cool Exibits And Keeping Guests Happy

[fresian_horse]

  Ok, How do you make your exibits? A special way? Or just put them together were there is space? How do you keep guests happy and satisfied? just put the way you make your zoos, and share what works best for you! Here is how I make exibits, I make a square exibit, put a certain biome in it, then put all suitible animals in it that won't eat each other. To keep guests happy I make a raised sidewalk And put my food court and shops on it. please tell your creative designs!!

Well, i typically remake an exibit fo an animal's at a zoo that i like. For instance i like the african elephant enclosure at the kansas city zoo, so i like to make my elephant exibits some what like that one. or create my own fenced in exibits, rather then messing with natural barriers. i dont typacally us elevated pathways exept to get over natural opsicals,(ei: ravines,hills) Thats all that i can think of now.

ok Thanks! PS My Uncle and cousins live in Kansas City and we go to the zoo there alot

I make ditch exhibits and have bridges going over them.

There are a lot of topics in Tech Support and in Scenarios. I also wrote an extensive article which can be found here. That might help you, too. :happy

I like to recreated exhibits i see in zoo, but it does depend on what space i have left in my zoos

[nicholasloh]

I basically try to make the exhibit look more like in the wild than in an exhibit. I also try to put individual species together so that they look more organised.

Depends on the animal - but I like large roomy exhibits, which have irregular shapes, so an overview looks like a jigsaw puzzle. I also like keeping my animals in herds. My lion prides have at least 5 members, and my elephant herds also normaly have around 5 females. I often add "companion animals", like when I use asian elephants, I often use a trio of Indian rhinos with them. This is my favourite exhibit, and might take up 1/3 of my zoo. I also use waterfalls a lot :w00t . I never use the biome brush to add rocks etc., I add them myself. Again, my style of using plants depends on the biome. For scrub I use a dense undergrowth of plants (unless I'm making a tortoise or gemsbok exhibit I don't use the cactus), a dense forest of shepars's pie trees and quite a lot of the other big green tree, whose name I don't remember. I don't use the myall unless I make a kangaroo or wallaby exhibit. I also mix animals only if they exist together in the wild.

I often make exhibits as realistic as possible and use mainly grassland terrain for all animals. then at the back i place a shelter and build a brick wall round it. i leave a small gap at the front to let the animals in and out. Next i cover the ground in the "animals house" with terrain from there biome. i cover there floor with concrete path (asphalt is good to). Then i have a exhibit with a indoor area. No roof unfortunately. I haven’t figure out how to post pics. If you understand and like the idea could you post a picture please?

i made a gr8 exhibit the other day, i started with a river at the front, then some sand with short grasses and trees, then it was all rainforest terain but with blue sidney gum trees, it was for my clouded leopards it was my favorite exhibit i have ever done, i hope this idea helps :happy

[fresian_horse]

Ok thanks for the ideas! Please keep on posting

i NEVER forget to place a water fountain (the small water fountain where guests can drink water from)
and actually, fountains in general..
appart from that i like to make my zoo with lots of trees to (imitate) a nature emviroment.

when using the jeep thingy, firstly i create different kinds of exibits with a very different biome for each one... so when i read peoples thoughts  :whistle  lol, i see how they are completelly satisfied  (sometimes guests suggest you to put a desert biome for example)

[Animalman]

I have an awesome exhibit! It was a lemur one... Two cages on each side of the path and  a elevated path going over connecting those two exhibits. So people can see lemurs climbing over there head!  :cool

My best zoo (the one that I lost grrr...) was a circular design.  I had exhibits all around the perimeter and some in the center so that guests had animals on all sides of them and could circle the zoo easily. I was a good layout.

[Panda King]

I do continental exhibits. An example is a mixed American Aligator/American Beaver/American Bullfrog exhibits.

[tinkerbell71]

I just made a zoo with chimps a few steps from the front gate with resturants around them worked great!

[Crookshankz227]

Near the front gate I normally have a camel/oryx/arabian oryx (user DL here at ZA) exhibit, that works well too. I alsways have a resteraunt near the entrance, the guests come in to the zoo hungry and thirsty :lol

The animals Crooshanks just said work really well with a fennec.
