- Putting a Lion, a Tiger, and a Bear in one exhibit unlocks a shiny Yellow Brick Road path for your guests to walk on. Moving or selling one of the 3 animals removes the yellow brick road from the list, but existing tiles will remain in your zoo.
- With Marine Mania, Putting a Mermaid Statue in a tank filled with water. The statue will now transform into a mermaid.
Zoo Tycoon 2
There are no cheats in Zoo Tycoon 2. However, there are exploits that can be used to the player's advantage.
- Infinite money exploit: Placing Jeep tracks and placing a low chain-link fence on top of it to create a jeep gate and then selling the jeep gate will grant you more money than the fence costs.
- Free babies exploit: Adopting a male animal and undoing the adoption after the female animal has become pregnant gives you free baby animals.
- Release to wild zoo rating exploit: Pausing the game and selecting an animal from the zoo stats window allows the animal to be released multiple times as long as the zoo stats are open and the game is paused. This counts towards the release to the wild zoo rating but not towards achievements.
Trivia
- The cheat code names that change the colours of guests' clothes and buildings (Mr [Colour]) are a reference to the aliases used by the criminals in the film Reservoir Dogs.
- The cheat code name that causes birds to attack guests (Alfred H) is a reference to the film The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock.
- Several of the cheat codes for the guest names are references to staff members from Blue Fang Games, the developer of Zoo Tycoon.
- The cheat for unlocking the yellow brick road is a reference to the quote "Lions and tigers and bears! Oh, my!" from the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.
