An Easter Egg is a little "secret" thing that is built into the game. It's different from a cheat in that it usually is not up to you to get to it. Cheats allow you to get around certain things in the game or give you access to stuff you wouldn't ordinarily have access to. But an easter egg is just something fun that you can see or hear. Below you read that a special item may be available for placement in the game, but usually it's just a fun thing the programmers built into the game.
1) If the date is Oct. 31, all buildings and guests will start off orange and black, new guests will enter wearing orange and black, a flying witch will make appearances a a Jack-O-Lantern is available for placement.
2) If date is Dec. 25, as long as a guest enters the zoo on that date, a snowman and a Christmas tree are available for placement. Also, Santa and his reindeer will fly across the map randomly.
3) A Microsoft airplane pulling a Blue Fang banner flies over on September 15th, the day the game was released.
