About the Game

Zoo Life Simulator invites you to build, manage, and grow your own zoo from the ground up in a detailed management simulation. Play solo or in co-op with up to 4 players as you take on responsibilities like animal care, habitat development, staff organization, and keeping visitors happy.

Start your journey with a handful of basic animals. As you earn income, unlock new species, expand enclosures, and explore diverse biomes. With its layered progression system, each stage introduces more animals, greater responsibilities, and richer content. Keeping your animals fed, clean, and happy ensures they stay healthy and visitors stay amazed.

Divide responsibilities with your team: one player can care for animals, another can design visitor zones, while someone else manages the zoo’s finances. Work together to expand your park, unlock rare species, diversify your biomes, and build a wildlife sanctuary everyone can be proud of.

In Zoo Life, it’s not just the enclosures you control your vehicles reflect your style too!

Paint your buggy, switch up its colors and cruise around the zoo solo or with friends, turning heads wherever you go.
