Attractions Guide

Guests might come to your park to see the dinosaurs, but to be a commercial success and create Appeal, you will need to build Attractions that keep them happy as well. The total Appeal of a park is calculated from the Visible Dinosaurs and Entertainment Attractions combined, but can be reduced by a lack of Species Variety.

Appeal

Appeal draws Guests to the park and mainly comes from the visible dinosaurs within a park. The higher the Appeal, the more Guests will want to come and visit.

Each species of dinosaur has a unique base Appeal value that is further boosted when they’ve been naturally bred, or if they’re a Juvenile. Well-cared-for Juveniles will also grow into adulthood with an additional boost to their Appeal.

Some Entertainment Attractions provide a static amount of Appeal, but most derive their Appeal from the dinosaurs they can see.

The higher the Appeal of dinosaurs within view of Attractions the higher this will raise the overall guest count in that area. Depending on the Attraction used, different Guest demographics will dominate that local area respectively.

Visibility

Your Park’s Appeal will only be affected by the dinosaurs in view of guests so it’s important to think about visibility when planning the layout of your attractions.

Dinosaur Appeal can only be used to draw guests to the site if they can be seen from a Viewing Attraction. Use the Dinosaur Visibility View Mode to identify any gaps in the coverage of Viewing Attractions.

Keep your dinosaurs’ Comfort in mind as well when thinking about visibility – for example some species will only be comfortable when their nests are out of view.

Viewing Attractions with high Appeal will likely become congested with guests. Plan the site around this with wider Paths and alternative Viewing Attractions to disperse the crowds. Take advantage with Amenities in the same areas to increase site income.

Did You Know?

Improve the visibility of your dinosaurs by using well-placed Viewing Galleries, Viewing Platforms, Monorails, Hotels, and Tour Rides.

Attractions in Jurassic World Evolution 3 will appeal to different guest demographics so, depending on your park, you may favour some more than others.

Learn more about Guest demographics in our Guests Guide.

Types of Attractions

Coming in different shapes and sizes, Attractions provide appeal for guests by allowing them to see and learn about the dinosaurs in your park.

Viewing Platforms & Galleries

Viewing Platforms and Galleries provide different ways for guests to view dinosaurs deep within their enclosures. Different Viewing Platforms and Galleries will provide different sight lines and visibility, so try to build them where they’ll give the best Visibility for your guests. Viewing Platforms and Galleries are most suitable for Nature guests and are also available for Lagoons and Aviaries.

Dinosaur Encounter

A Viewing Attraction that allows park guests to interact with and feed small to medium-sized herbivores. The building requires its Food supply to be restocked periodically by the Maintenance Team. Not all dinosaurs are compatible with this Attraction, so make sure to double check the Dinosaur Encounter will be suitable before building. 

Did You Know?

Paths can become overcrowded. Make sure you spread guests out by offering a wide variety of attractions and different routes to get there.

Ziplines

Ziplines are a special Viewing Attraction. They give guests visibility of dinosaurs as they travel along a line suspended between two towers.
Zipline height will adjust automatically based on the terrain. Zipline direction can be swapped as desired. Ziplines can also improve Transport Rating between the towers, as guests use them to shorten their journeys on foot.

Tours

Tours are a type of Viewing Attraction that uses vehicles to gain dinosaur visibility along a tour route. They can also improve the Transport Rating of the site by chaining multiple tours together, station to station.

For some tours, dinosaurs can pose a danger to the guests by attacking tour vehicles. Assign Capture Teams to Ranger Posts to automatically Tranquilise dinosaurs that pose a threat to vehicles within range of that post.

Alternatively, build safer tour routes by making sure there is a fence - or at least a good distance - between the tour vehicles and the dinosaurs. Tracked tour rides provide dinosaur visibility within and around enclosures, making them most suitable for Adventure guests.

Activity Centres

Activity Centres are a type of Entertainment Attraction and provide a set amount of Appeal to the park. Activity Centres can be customised to attract different guest Demographics to the local area. This can help with setting up and maximising profits from Amenities.

Innovation Centres

An educational entertainment experience where technology meets prehistory, Innovation Centres are a type of Entertainment Attraction and provide a set amount of Appeal. Innovation Centres attracts guests with specific preferences and can be customised to suit the interests of your park.

Did You Know?

Concentrate your guest amenities around popular Viewing Galleries, Attractions, Hotels and Monorail Stations to maximise your income.

Amphitheatres

A stunning facility that showcases your dinosaurs in a state-of-the-art setting, the Amphitheatre provides dinosaur visibility for park guests and is best suited for large carnivores. As with other viewing attractions, dinosaurs only appeal to guests if they have been recently visible. 

Cretaceous Cruise

The Cretaceous Cruise is a special Viewing Attraction and Tour. It is able to send guests onto waterways in kayaks, where they can get close to dinosaurs at the site.

Unlike ground-based Tours, the Cretaceous Cruise routes must be plotted over water, and the Tour building must be placed at least partially in water too.

Balloon Tours

Balloon Tours are a special Viewing Attraction and Tour. They are able to send guests airbourne, where they can view dinosaurs from a completely safe vantage point.

Unlike ground-based Tours, Balloon Tour routes can travel over buildings and obstacles. However, each Balloon Tour can only support a single Balloon, and they are very slow in their movement.
