Planet Zoo

Planet Zoo is a zoo-building and management game where you create habitats, care for animals and run a zoo. Its living animals think, feel and explore the world you build, each with an individual appearance and personality. Play through a globe-trotting campaign or build freely in Sandbox mode.

Animals and conservation

Create detailed habitats that reflect animals’ natural environments, then research and manage each species so they can thrive. Care for animal welfare, help animals raise families and pass their genes to future generations, and release new generations back into the wild. Your decisions shape a living world where conservation comes first.

Build and manage your zoo

Use piece-by-piece construction tools to shape habitats and landscapes. Dig lakes and rivers, raise hills and mountains, carve paths and caves, and build with unique themes and hundreds of components. Your choices affect both the lives of your animals and visitors’ experiences.

You can focus on the big picture or manage small details hands-on. Add iconic exhibits to thrill visitors and research new ways to develop your zoo.

Share your creations

Through the Steam Workshop, you can share habitats, scenery and entire zoos with a connected community, or discover content made by other players. Your designs can also appear in zoos around the world.
