A guest is a person who visits and interacts with the player's zoo, and an important gameplay component for all games in the Zoo Tycoon series. Guests are the main source of income for the zoo, as they spend money on the entrance fee, food, drinks, gifts, donations, attractions, tours, etc. Like animals, they have several needs that have to be met in order to keep them happy. They might stay several months in the zoo if they are satisfied, but quickly leave if they are unhappy.
In both Zoo Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon 2, guests can be picked up and moved around.
Zoo Tycoon[]
A selection of guests from Zoo Tycoon.
In Zoo Tycoon, guests take up a 0.25 by 0.25 space, however, multiple guests can be stacked if they move closely to each other by themselves. Guests have a vision of 10 by 10 squares and can only see animals within that range. Upon spawning, the initial guest happiness is 75.
There are 4 types of guests: man, woman, boy and girl. Each type is affected by different happiness modifiers. Guests are named in a numerical order, going from "Guest 1" to however many different guests have entered the zoo over its lifetime.
Tour guides will guide the guests around the zoo. Adult male guests are the only guest type which animals will attack, with adult females and children of both genders being ignored but still screaming and running from the offending animal. Unlike regular Animal Attacks, many animals have visible attack animations should the animal be able to reach the guest. These are only fatal should the animal be a Sperm Whale, any shark aside from the Whale Shark, or a Tyrannosaurus rex.
Swimming[]
Guests are capable of swimming if for some reason they find themselves in water (either by choice or the player placing them in it). This includes marine tanks. If a man is unable to pathfind to land they will drown and a message will appear to the player saying the guest drowned. Women and children on the other hand will teleport to the closest land if they are unable to pathfind to land.

There are also more unique variations of these types, such as cavemen, photographers, oceanographers and rockstars. These unique variations may appear in campaign and scenario modes, usually as characters like Alvin Einheim. Cavemen will appear in roughly 20% of glaciers, to which the player may place them outside of the glacier, or wait for the pocket of ice to thaw out the caveman.

As in the first game, only adult male zoo guests are attacked by zoo animals. However, they will only run from larger animals. For smaller animals, the adult male zoo guest will call over an animal, which will approach the guest peacefully only to then attack them anyway. Of all the animal attacks, only Tyrannosaurus and Carnotaurus will outright kill the male guests they attack.
Trivia[]
- In Zoo Tycoon 2, the male first name "José Edvaldo" alongside the last names "Berka", "Javier Castrejón", "Leitão", "Löb", "Reátegui Alayo", and "Skjønaa" were removed alongside the Extinct Animals expansion. It is unknown why these names were removed.
- Young male guests, when riding the jeep tour and sky tram tour, play a stock laughter sound used in other media, such as a Kellogg's Frosted Flakes commercial, and in later years, better known as laughter of Balloon Boy from Five Nights at Freddy's 2.
