Zoo Tycoon

Zoo Tycoon puts you in charge of building and managing your own wildlife park from the ground up. Place enclosures, hire staff, keep animals healthy, and make sure your visitors leave happy — all while balancing a budget that never seems quite large enough.

Animal welfare sits at the heart of the experience. Each species has specific habitat needs, dietary requirements, and social preferences. Neglect them and your animals grow restless; get it right and they thrive, attract bigger crowds, and even breed.

The deeper you go, the more rewarding it gets. Research unlocks new species and enclosure upgrades, while guest feedback constantly nudges you toward smarter decisions. There's a satisfying loop to it — the park always feels one good idea away from something truly great.
