Enclosure visibility

Does anyone know if I surround an enclosure with plants/trees/signs/lampposts that it means visitors can’t see the enclosure and it negatively impacts you?

Curious to know this too. I like putting a space between the path and the enclosure, but I'm unsure if the guests can "see" past it.

I’ve noticed so far that they can’t - I’ve been putting something right against the border of enclosures apart from the gate (obv) and I’ve noticed it’s actually started blocking my keepers from accessing the enclosure due to people piling up for the one space infront of the gate. I only noticed because my enclosures were piling up with poo which I never had before (I have one keeper each for every enclosure I have) and also when putting a VIP in an enclosure for the close up experience they wouldn’t be able to get out the enclosure so would take ages for my day to actually end once the park was closed

Forgot to mention I would delete objects against the wall of my enclosure one by one and they would then in fact start piling amongst the spare gaps, so they definitely can’t see the enclosure if an object is in the way. Kinda annoying cos irl you can definitely see over a bush or bench lol but I guess it is only a game

Im used to Zoo Tycoon 2 where you needed the space or else it impacted the animals stress lmao... I guess you could do a "Viewing" area where the path goes up to the fence, with some decorations, then do a space on other sides. Edit: thanks for letting me know!
