Keep your animals happy, have food, drink, souvenir stands and restrooms.

I wouldn't bother with food/drink/gifts early on, wait until you have 500+ guests. There's not enough demand for small amount of guests & they leave before it's really necessary. I just do with a bathroom and you can still get their happiness way up mostly by improving your animals;
- Make sure you have their habitat and requirements all in the green.
- Research all of the enrichment items for your animals as soon as possible.
- Don't expand too fast, make sure you have your animals all green'ed up before moving on to a new exhibit.
- Add educational signs & speakers.
- litter, vandals & pick-pockets will really take a hit at your guest happiness.
- having a cheap ticket price.
- Breed animals & release them into the wild for conservation.

They seem fairly mental, honestly. Their conservation happiness goes from one star to five star randomly cycling through it. A lot of their stats seem extremely rando to me so...

I can't get happiness to the 80% for the one mission. It gets stuck at 70%. There isn't the space to get people drinks everywhere. I have no issue with anything else. I just can't get it up. Every creature is near 100% welfare. Just can't.

Got it up to 76% by massively reducing ticket price; didn't help. Breeding animals isn't helping. Education is 5*. All animals around 100% if not. Issue seems to be they never get drink or food and no where to hide staff facilities.

Probably the same scenario I am on .. the Myers Entertainment Zoo in India ..

I get mine as high as 76 then it drops down .. I had the main needs in the green for a while so concentrated on the education .. now I have that up to 30% or so and the rest have gone down to 65%+ rofl. Probably not enough toilets this time as I don't think there is a map for people that are unhappy because of that.

There just isn't enough space or money to have people to maintain constantly. Everything I can max is maxed. I dunno what more I can do. I now spend my time clearing out problem exhibits and refreshing for more. When everything is as high as I can. Or close to, not much more I can do. I got education up to 5* on the zoo thing but it didn't do anything. Thirst and Hungry is orange no matter how many have. I'll try more toilets and more stuff in general. The madness at staff/infrastructure is depressing. I can't do anything about it. The fact scenarios also block out deletion of certain things is also annoying.

Depressing because it isn't fun just playing whack-a-mole.

I actually don't have any problem with the staff buildings .. maybe I set things up differently to you in the areas where we can do more building.

Wherever I see a block of thirsty people crowding together I looked for a spot to put a drinks/ice cream vendor ( they are hot as well remember ). I have also been putting canopies on the shops and viewing areas to help shade the sun off of them.

Before the game went into complaint mode due to the number of hours I have played, I was up to 78% happiness. I have a 4.5 star zoo but the visitor education average is only 36% so the star status isn't the number we need to look at.

[Balthazar]

Okay, it seems like facilities are a major %. I deleted/moved a lot of transformers and stuff. Shot up to 80%+. So, I'd recommend doing that. Not done the 6 months yet tho.

Going to mention this because a friend of mine wasn't aware and had his mind blown.
You know each drinks/food shops have condiments that you have to activate?

[XrystalBelle]

I had already replaced the power supplies for natural ones knowing they were needed for gold... what I did do though to tick me over is a set of staff buildings in another area of the zoo so that the workers have less to walk rofl. However, best I could do was 3 months .. so now upping the animal food supply to max level now that I have 1mil dollars rofl.

I'll check the condiments but from what I could see they were all activated for me.

[XrystalBelle]

Nice about the condiments .. but after spending time sorting that out and I'm back down to 72% rofl

What are your negatives and %'s?

[XrystalBelle]

Managed to get it done now .. I just stopped worrying about their happiness and concentrated on the animals as they were very quick to affect the happiness... Once I had happiness sitting at 88% at 4 months I could breathe a bit rofl. I just made sure there were no drastic animal problems or power cuts rofl. I took a screenshot at 5.99 months .. most were at 70%+

[XrystalBelle]

The majority of my stores were water, juice and once I realised it would help ... the hat store .. the combination kept them cooler which was one of their major complaints.
