Let’s Build a Zoo puts you in charge of creating an animal park, combining the practical work of zoo management with an intentionally playful approach to wildlife. You can import animals from other zoos or breed them to grow your collection, while also shaping the visitor experience and managing the staff who help the park run.
Its standout twist is DNA splicing: the game describes more than 300,000 possible animal combinations, turning creature creation into a distinctive counterpoint to the familiar tasks of caring for animals and keeping guests happy. Park design also matters, with buildings, foliage, paths and enclosure decorations available to customize the grounds. Decisions reach beyond presentation, from choosing what animals eat to deciding whether to operate within the law or take an illicit route for extra cash.
As a single-player simulation and strategy game, Let’s Build a Zoo is framed around an individual player’s ongoing work of building and managing a park, rather than a shared multiplayer session.
