Zoo Tycoon

Zoo Tycoon

Mini Exhibits:
When you are starting out and don't have much money consider buying mini exhibits in order to bring in more guests to your zoo. Don't have more than three mini exhibits though unless they are a requirement for Campaign mode.

Facilities:
High on your priority list when starting out should be facilites as they are much needed necessities when running a zoo that will enable you to not only to profit from them but also allow you to focus on areas that need more attention.

Hiring:
When you begin the game try and get a Level 2 worker as they are better at what they do than a Level 1 worker and they are not that much more expensive.
