Zoo Empire

Zoo Empire is a zoo management game in which you build exhibits, care for animals, manage employees and keep visitors happy while bringing in money. You can play a 30-scenario branched campaign or set your own rules in sandbox mode.

Build and manage your zoo

As the zoo’s owner, you adopt animals, landscape the grounds and create exhibits. Hire and manage employees, and provide visitors with places to eat, drink and buy souvenirs. Research new technologies to unlock animals and other features as you progress, while learning about animal care and the challenges of wildlife conservation.

More than 200 buildings, items and facilities are available for creating your zoo. The game includes over 40 animal species and subspecies, including rare and endangered animals; further animals unlock through research. The animals’ health, happiness and nutrition need attention, and you can train them to perform shows, advertise to increase their popularity, and save profiles of your best performers to use in shows and promote your other zoos.

Career and sandbox modes

The branched career mode lets you focus on either the business or zoological side of running a zoo. Its 30 scenarios offer different paths and challenges. In sandbox mode, you establish the rules and play as you wish.

Tours and animal photos

Set up guided tours using one of three train and boat designs. Lay tracks or dig rivers to take visitors around your exhibits. You can also take snapshots of animals performing dozens of lifelike animations and build a wildlife photo album.

Animals and habitats

A tutorial introduces the game, and you can learn about animals, their habitats and behavior as you build a sanctuary for them.
