All items in Zoo Tycoon (including hidden items)
When you start a Freeform Map (Sandbox mode) in Zoo Tycoon, only a handful of items will start out unlocked. Some items are time gated through a number of unlock-cycles, and some items will have to be researched.
When you play through scenarios, the time gated items are usually unlocked from the start, but you'll still have to invest into research.
If you don't want to wait, and have Marine Mania(MM) or Complete Collection(CC) installed, the map Marine Mania: Kids Map (Medium) will have everything unlocked from day 1. This includes time gated and research items.
Here's a list of everything available with the expansion packs of Zoo Tycoon, and the official DLC.
This list does not include zoo awards, but you can view a list of all awards here.
Fences
Fences are used to create exhibits, guide guests and staff, and to decorate your park.
Marine Mania added two new types: Tank walls - required to create aquarium tanks, and Show tank walls - Required for show tanks. Additionally, a buoy rope fence was added, for decorating fresh and salt water terrain in your park.
It's worth noting staff are able to walk across decorative fences, but guests cannot. Neither staff or guests can walk across exhibit fences, this can be handy to make sure staff stays in the intended area.
Some fences will add more guests happiness than others. The guest happiness in the chart below is an average across men, women, boys and girls.
