The Complete Awards List below includes awards from each original game and their expansion packs.
 
Positive awards lure people to the park, while negative awards chase people out of your park.
Positive awards will increase the number of guests visiting the park, similar to the effect of advertising campaigns. Negative awards reduce the number of guests visiting the park, ultimately resulting in lower revenue, so they should be avoided at all costs.
It takes about 4 months for an award to no longer be displayed under "Awards" in your park window.
 
Awards can only be earned once the park meets certain criteria. Once said criteria have been met, the award may be given out at random at the start of the following month—it is not possible to increase or decrease the likelihood of earning an award. In RCT1, RCT2 and RCTC, it is also not possible for the park to earn more than one award at the start of each month.
 
When the park receives an award, it keeps that award for 5 months and the award is displayed in the "Awards" tab in the park window. Depending on the award received, the park will not be able to receive other awards for as long as the received reward is kept.
 
==RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2==
===Positive Awards===
Positive Awards will increase the [[Park Rating]] and draw additional guests to the park, like advertising campaigns.

|Best Value Park Award
|TheThere is a chance of getting this award is high if many guests think that many of the (paid) rides in the park areentrance "reallyfee goodis value"set and, in RCT1, ifto a message pops up every month informing the player that guests "are commenting that the park entrance fee is verylow cheap"amount. Getting this award is also an indication that the player can afford to increase admission prices for more income, but keeping admission fees low to continue attracting additional guests is usually more beneficial.
 
This award cannot be obtained in a scenario with no money or if the park has no entrance fee or currently has the Most Disappointing Park or Worst Value Park awards.

|Tidiest Park Award
|If many guests think "This park is really clean and tidy" and very few guests think "This path is disgusting", "The litter here is really bad" or "The vandalism here is really bad", there is a high chance of earning this award. This can be accomplished by ensuring that litter and vomit on the park's pathways are swept fast and the park's litter bins are emptied regularly, there is a high chance of earning this award.

|Safest Park Award
|The park has a chance of earning this award if ''all'' rides in the park do not have a "[[Crash#Delayed Effects|crash history]]", and very few guests think "The vandalism here is really bad".
|The player has to keep the number of breakdowns for each ride at a mininum, while maintaining their reliability as much as possible, to have a high chance of earning this award; it is more often given within the first year of a new park (i.e. a scenario with no rides older than 1 year) since most rides in the park would be brand new and have very high reliability. This award can still be attained in older parks if the inspection time for most rides is set to 10 minutes and if few breakdowns occur within a game month; the latter requires a bit of luck as the reliability of older rides are lower and thus they are more likely to break down, even with increased inspection frequency.

|[[File:Worst Value Park Award RCT2 Icon.png]]
|Worst Value Park Award
|This award may be given to a park that has high admission fees but low ride popularity. The player should check the guests' thoughts to see which rides have them thinking "I'm not paying that much" and drop said rides' admission prices accordingly. Empty [[queue line]]s are also an indicator a ridehigh with an excessivepark admission fee. If the park is a paid entry/free rides park, theThe park admission fee should either be lowered or more rides should be built to justify the high entrance fee.

|Untidiest Park Award

Getting this award may be an indication that a certain stretchpart of pathway, not a majority of the paths, in the park is perpetually filled with litter, vomit and/or vandalised objects, or it may also be an indication that the player needshas moreto organise their handymen better.

|[[File:Most Dissapointing Park Award.png]]
|Most Disappointing Park Award
|If the park has a Park Rating below 650 and more than half of the rides in it have less than 3% popularity, it stands a chance of getting this award. Rides tend to be unpopular if they are built too far away from the main guest traffic or do not fit the preferred ride intensity of most guests; in parks where ride admission fees are charged, overcharging for rides can also make them unpopular. A low Park Rating is usually caused a combination of factors, including litter, vomit, vandalism, crashed rides and poor path planning.
|This award may be given to a park that has almost no rides and/or if its park entrance fee is too high. Building more rides and/or reducing the entry fee are recommended.
 
This award cannot be obtained if the park has the Best Value Park award.
