Eight walk-through pairs that can share a home

Habitat animals guests can walk through (14)

The Aardvark, African Penguin, Eurasian Beaver, Galápagos Giant Tortoise, Golden Lion Tamarin, Goodfellow's Tree-Kangaroo, Meerkat, Mountain Hare, Red Deer, Red Panda, Ring-Tailed Lemur, Springbok, Sunda Pangolin and Thomson's Gazelle.

The other 43 habitat animals keep guests out, among them every big cat, bear, elephant and great ape. Each animal's own needs, from space to barrier, are in the Planet Zoo 2 habitat planner.

Walk-through aviaries (6 birds)

The Eurasian Bittern, Great Hornbill, Greater Flamingo, Javan Green Magpie, Long-Tailed Parakeet and Toco Toucan.

Frontier describes these as birds sociable enough to let guests walk through their aviary: add a guest gate and a path through it, and guests can stroll among them. Frontier adds that some birds are shy and need plenty of space; the other 6, the Golden Eagle, Long-Eared Owl, Secretarybird, Shoebill, White-Backed Vulture and White-Tailed Sea-Eagle, are marked no. How much flying room each bird needs is on the Planet Zoo 2 flyable area page, and the Planet Zoo 2 flying animals list has every bird.

Aquarium animals guests can walk through (16)

The Blackspotted Puffer, Blacktip Reef Shark, Clown Triggerfish, Dolphinfish, Giant Grouper, Great Hammerhead, Hawksbill Turtle, Humphead Wrasse, Indo-Pacific Leopard Shark, Javanese Cownose Ray, Ocean Sunfish, Ocellated Eagle Ray, Red Lionfish, Sailfin Snapper, Sand Tiger Shark and West Indian Manatee.

Guests see them from a Path Tunnel through the water. A tunnel needs an Aquarium Guest Gate on the aquarium's barrier first, and you can place several gates on one barrier. The tunnel cuts into the aquarium's space, so make the tank big enough before you add it or the animals' space welfare drops. The other 21 aquarium animals are marked no: the African Tigerfish, Blue and Gold Fusilier, Bluespine Unicornfish, Blunthead Cichlid, Boeseman's Rainbowfish, Brown Trout, Clown Anemonefish, Clown Loach, Common Rudd, Giant Gourami, Golden Trevally, Indian Ocean Oriental Sweetlips, Indo-Pacific Sergeant, Koi, Longfin Batfish, Pacific Bluefin Tuna, Pacific Sardine, Palette Surgeonfish, Schooling Bannerfish, Threespot Damselfish and Yellow Tang. Fish that also fit an exhibit are all on the no side. Building the tank itself is covered in how to build an aquarium in Planet Zoo 2.

Walkthrough exhibits

Exhibit animals have no walk-through mark of their own; the building decides. Place a walkthrough Exhibit and connect it straight to your path network, and guests walk in to see the animals. Each exhibit shape only takes the species that suit it, so check the shape before you plan the animals. The Planet Zoo 2 exhibit animals page lists all 46 and the set-up steps.

Walk-through species that can share a home (8 pairs)

Each pair below is on both animals' official Thriving or Neutral lists, and both allow guests, so one walk-through habitat or aviary can hold the two. Open a pair in the planner to check space, temperature and terrain together.

Every other combination, walk-through or not, can be checked in the Planet Zoo 2 thriving relationships table.

Planet Zoo 2 walkthrough animal questions

Which animals can guests walk through in Planet Zoo 2?

How do you make a walk-through aviary in Planet Zoo 2?

Keep only birds that allow guests, such as the Eurasian Bittern, Great Hornbill and Greater Flamingo, then add a guest gate and a path through the aviary. Birds marked no, such as the Golden Eagle and Long-Eared Owl, keep guests out.

Can guests walk through an aquarium in Planet Zoo 2?

Yes, through a Path Tunnel. Place an Aquarium Guest Gate on the aquarium's barrier first; the tunnel takes up some of the aquarium's space, so build the tank big enough. 16 aquarium animals allow guests, including the Blacktip Reef Shark, Hawksbill Turtle, Indo-Pacific Leopard Shark, Sand Tiger Shark and West Indian Manatee.

Can guests walk through a lion or tiger habitat in Planet Zoo 2?

No. None of the big cats allow guests in their habitat: the African Leopard, Eurasian Lynx, Lion, Snow Leopard and Sumatran Tiger are all marked no on the official Zoopedia.

What is a walkthrough exhibit in Planet Zoo 2?

An exhibit that guests walk into. Place a walkthrough Exhibit and connect it straight to your path network; each exhibit shape only takes the 46 exhibit animals that suit it.
