Guests attend shows if they happen to be nearby when the show starts (or when
it is in progress). So you don’t want to put grandstands on the edge of your
zoo. Put them in the middle or near congested areas (like near restaurants).
Swim shacks can generate all sorts of money (almost as much as restaurants).
Just be aware that they make guests tired, and so you should place them near
restaurants or “scenic outlooks” so guests have a place to rest afterwards.
When creating “combo” exhibits, the size of the tank should be the same as the
percentage of water the animal wants, and you shouldn’t use any water terrain
in the land part of the exhibit. That means you need to know the animal’s
terrain needs before you start building the exhibit.
Filters cost $350 per month to clean tanks, so you might want your marine
specialists to clean the tanks instead, provided they can do the job without
the tanks getting too dirty or the animals sick.
You can connect multiple exhibit tanks to a single show tank, and then the
different animals will alternate their shows. If you later decide you don’t
want one of the animals to perform, simply change the height of its exhibit to
disconnect it from the show tank.
If you don’t use food courts, then you should de-select the “sweep and clean
zoo” assignment for your maintenance workers. Otherwise, they’ll “clean” the
food from combo tanks when the animals leave to perform shows.
If you create a combo exhibit for an animal that can jump (like the polar
bear) then you need to put fencing around the water part of the exhibit.
Otherwise the tank wall is enough.
When placing grandstands, they must be one square away from the show tank.
Any closer or farther and guests won’t enter them.

Some hotkeys of note:
ctl-b Toggle buildings (expansion packs only).
ctl-g Toggle grid lines
ctl-f Toggle foliage.
ctl-v Toggle guests (expansion packs only).
If you’re constructing something like a fence, and you decide you don’t want
to lay a segment you’ve already started, you can press to cancel the
build. By using , you can save the undo button for whatever you built
prior to the current segment.
