Keeping both animal and guest happiness allows the player to gain monetary awards and steady income. Scenery involves aesthetics that raise guest happiness slightly, such as topiary art, light posts, or benches. Buildings may include bathrooms, restaurants and food stands, shops, reptile houses, aviaries, or entertainment buildings such as movie theaters.

Choices in terrain, foliage, rocks, shelters, fences, toys and the presence of zookeepers all contribute to the suitability of an exhibit and the happiness of the animal. To keep the guests and animals happy, exhibits should be suitable to the animal for example, a lion is best suited to a savannah environment.
