Happy Guests!

Not sure. I make sure that they never walk far to get education (or anything for that matter), I have loads of shops and bathrooms, make sure to have at least two janitors in every area (never have any problem with litter on the ground) and tried to do my best so that no area gets to crouded (had that problem with my previous zoo, where the entrance were to small, so it got very crouded). Only use 10m roads.
Oh, and I have trashcans and benches (both regular and picknic benches) everywhere. There is never more than 10-20 meteres for a guest to walk without encountering a bench or trashcan.
Education
Pathing (the guests are pretty evenly spread thruout the zoo)

Making sure they gets really close to the animals also makes them very happy. So I try to place the sleeping areas close to the guests (and just use one-way glass and no disturb signs for animals that gets easily stressed). (Here you can also see that I even have benches and trashcans by the habitats)
I almost didn't think this was possible! not 100%, but 99% guest happiness feels really goodit IS possible to make a zoo with happy guests it seems

Looks like my average zoo report since release.
I have never been able to get above 97% before, so I was really happy
Seriously, good work. It hasn't been that high for me though, but I have happy guests as well.
But I only have protestors in my Sandbox Zoo where they shouldn't be.
Congratulations 
I do only have Guest-Happiness at 82%

It's not an absurd amount actually, I thought it was more I only use one kind of food and drink shop (the baseline ones), but all of the souvenir shops. And about 50-60% of my shops are drink shops. I usually have one or two extra staff for each shop area, and all the assigned staffrooms are set to make guests happier (always have one staff room for every shop workzone). Edit: and at least one ATM for every shop area

I like to work with circles, that way I can hide all the staff buildings in the middle of the circles and have habitats and shops on the outside. Then the staff can work in peace and have close to every habitat/shop, and the guests don't get disturbed by the buildings
Edit: I only use the small staff rooms. It's easier to manage I think with different staff perks and the negative area are smaller too

Thanks for sharing. Imo the number of shops needed for keeping guests happy is still way to high compared to the size of your zoo. If you add all space up for shops, related staff facilities, power, paths etc. it's about a quarter of the whole zoo space. But that's how the game works (so far).It's not an absurd amount actually, I thought it was more
If you plan to even make your zoo larger, keep us updated if your able to keep your guests happy. My highest happiness rate is 92% with 9.5k guests.
Update: My zoo now looks like this;
I've added about 20 more species (more than half of them are exibit species) and my guestcount have gone up from about 6.5k to 9.5k.
The lag have become horribe, but still, the guest happines looks like this!
(I have to add, it doesn't stay at 99% all the time, it changes back and forth from 96-99%, still pretty good)

Thanks for sharing; could you please share these two overviews as well? It's very rare that others share insights in large zoos, i.e. having visitors > 9k
I'm curious: did you ever have a litter problem? And if so how did you manage it? Like my guests are finally happy with their terribly unrealistic amount of shops (and air-conditioned paths...srly show me one real zoo where that's actually a thing >.>) but once I hit about 8.5k guests they all went "bins? What are those? Surely not whatever's standing right beside me..." all of a sudden and keep throwing their litter everywhere, only to complain about it a second later. I never had a problem with it before and have more than enough care takers with and without work zones assigned. So, yeah, it's really annoying and I'd love to hear your take on it if you have any input that might help
I would also like some Tips how to prevent littering.
