Planet Zoo: Keeping an eye on the zoo's reputation
The zoo's reputation determines how many guests come to the zoo and how satisfied they leave. Of course, you can influence the rating at any time and make it rise by simple tricks. Among other things, the number, variety and well-being of the animals are important. But you can also improve the conservation of species. You should regularly release animals into the wild, attach great importance to recycling and have a green thumb. A large catering offer also ensures satisfied guests.
Since visitors to your zoo want to learn about the animals, the educational offerings should be expanded. The more research you do, the higher the level of education visitors will have when they leave the zoo.
Zoo pricing and loans
Good management also requires good revenue. The more animals that move into the enclosures, the higher the costs for food & co. To cover these costs, you should regularly raise prices. This includes among other things:
- Admission prices
- Withdrawal fees at ATMs
- Costs for the use of the toilet
If you need a cash injection, you can take out a loan at Planet Zoo. In this case, you will pay back a fixed amount each year or pay it off in full at a later date. Note, however, that interest will be charged on top of the loan. Our Planet Zoo guide to earning quick money will give you more important tips if you are in financial trouble.
Marketing campaigns for perfect zoo management
Marketing campaigns help to increase the reputation of the zoo. About 15 of the zoo's reputation is based on these campaigns. If you have some money left over, invest it there. There are three campaigns for you to choose from. The more money you invest, the higher the benefit of the campaign. If it is successful, the number of visitors to the zoo will increase significantly.
Planet Zoo: Research for more choice
In Planet Zoo, veterinarians can research any animal. For this, in addition to a research center, access to the enclosure is required. Again, it should be noted that only one veterinarian can research a specific topic at a time.
Items and properties that can be unlocked during research:
Improved food | New toys |
New food items | Increased level of education |
"Curiosities" in Zoopedia |
Even if some items have been unlocked by a researched animal species, they are available to the entire zoo. Moreover, the veterinarian can additionally research diseases and thus guarantee a faster treatment of sick animals.
In the technology research, only a functioning workshop is needed. This will give you new information about facilities as well as resources.
Rewards that can be unlocked through the technology research:
Improved facilities | New stores and markets |
Scenery designs | Building plans for sceneries |
New transportation shops | Retreats and climbing facilities |
New barrier types |
Vandalism and theft in the zoo
If visitors are unhappy, they may go on the rampage and destroy facilities. The following park facilities may be affected by vandalism:
Restrooms | Trash cans |
Benches | ATMs |
Power supply systems | Water treatment systems |
Signs | Loudspeakers |
If objects and equipment are damaged, visitors will be unhappy in the long run. Therefore, don't let vandalism happen in the first place by following our tips on zoo reputation.
Pickpockets also cause discomfort at the zoo. By having a security guard on staff and security cameras, you'll minimize the number of crimes.
