What Makes Zoo Park Story Stand Out
Ready to build the zoo of your dreams? Depart on wild adventures to find exotic fauna, exploring all manner of environments from savanna to tundra, jungle and beyond! Give your new animal friends a home and take your zoo to the top of the industry!
Savor the thrill of opening day. Feed the animals in your burgeoning lineup—even give them the occasional treat to show you care! From apples to acorns, meat, and more, tailor your critters' diet according to their natural habitat. On that note, do the same with the surrounding flora too!
Your customers will also require expert care. Develop your zoo's infrastructure, installing benches, fountains, and the odd hot dog stand to make sure zoo-goers stay satisfied till close. Propel your place to mega-park proportions and you'll even be able to start an on-site shuttle!
What's more, if you're lucky, two of your critters who share the same pen may find romance—resulting in the grand gift of life! Potential partners can be found via the Animal Hub or when out exploring. But be forewarned; the latter method requires animals be won over through a heated battle of negotiation!
Well, what are you waiting for? Build a top-ranking zoo, set social media ablaze, and show the world your wild side!

Community Insight:
We love your games that you guys make but we have a idea can you guys make something like this but with dinosaurs instead its like a Jurassic park.
Enjoyable, but not quite the difficulty level Ive come to expect from Kairosoft games.
We have always loved Kairosoft games. This game is fun and their is never a dull moment. We really enjoyed this game and we highly recommend it.
We have several Kairosoft games. This particular game is super cute with all of the animals. We wish it was clear how to switch out the animals you use for explorations. We also wish it was easier to expand the animal enclosures when you have too many animals in one pen. Overall, we think the gameplay is pretty straight forward. Not sure if they will ever update the game, but we think its worth playing.
Kairosoft hardly misses on their games. This is one that we really enjoyed and the first game our niece was interested in. We look forward to future releases.
Always cute! Good game for zoning out :).
What do we love about this game? Collecting the animals through exploration is a blast! The baby animals are absolutely adorable. Figuring out where all the animals should be for combos is a fun, frustrating and ultimately rewarding brain teaser. Great game.
They always deliver but this is one of our new favorites.
The game is super fun and its also just challenging enough to where its not too difficult to advance all in all its a great game five stars.
Addicting as always just has a little more grind than some of the others. Will always support this dev.
We play this game every evening to unwind and it is relaxing and fun. It has kept our attention for quite a few more weeks than games usual do. 5/5 stars and 2/2 thumbs.
Super cute animals ! Train, feed, have babies too.
Update: after the update, issue fix! Awesome kairosoft always been good. Nice game balance and fun experience. But after the five star, we feel like the speed up fun is getting slow, but thats not the bug, maybe just us lack of ways to make it speed up. But the more important issue is the bug that after 12 years (in game time) suddenly our zoo is complete disappear. We saved the game and then close it and open it to restart, the map is not coming back. All we have is a empty weather graphic in the screen with all the menus in there. It looks weird. We were trying to get the 10 stars so after 10 years we still playing. Never would saw this coming. So far Im in 8 star and finished finding all the animals in mystery land.
This one is sort of like a small side game inside their usual games. You spend a lot of time bored because their real shop only opens once a year. And youll be 3/5 stars into the game and still negative money most of the time, without even enough to destroy a buying or move a building For $1.99 it might be worth it but this is NOT one of the kairosoft $4.99 games. In fact by the time you read this it might even have been lowered.
Kept playing and waited for it to open up. Boring. Very childish. This may be a good starter into the Kairosoft world for a child under 10. Zero depth.
We dont think there has been a kairosoft game we havent enjoyed but this one is definitely in our top 3! Im totally addicted and spending waaaay too much time on it.
Dont listen to this kid name comandr85, he literally lays out the problem that can be solved because he doesnt even know how to play the game, this game is amazing and is a pretty good second zoo game that they have putted out, excited for the translated version of venture town 2.0 and a cafe one.
Great game, keep em coming. Our favorite developer.
We need more English Version games ! This one took forever since the airport story. But its so good. We like it a lot more than the wild park story. It just is easier to understand and theres a ton of animals and things to do. Havent stopped playing in 3 days. We love it. Cant wait for the next one already.
Love it!! Im big into these kinds of games and own almost all the ones this company has made. Been waiting for a decent zoo game and this did not disappoint! Cant stop playing and Ive already hit the end game and then some. Only issue we have is with the safari zones. They allow different types of animals to be housed together, which we like, but there is a downside. Not sure if its intentional or not but, some of the animals like to leave their zones and jump into another. When our capacity is over the limit (due to breeding) Im unable to move them back to where we want them without removing animals back into our inventory (our map is full)Ive got bears chillin with rabbits and alligators in with guinea pigs and Im not a fan. We didnt set it up like that.
This is probably the first time ive played a kairosoft game that we found to be way too light in gameplay and management, we were able to get 5 stars on our park in the first day. And the area they give you even with the 2 expansions is far too small. But, the spire art is beautiful and is fantastic for a couple hours of fun. But after just finishing spa story 2, this one just doesnt even hold a candle to how in depth spa story is and feels.
Gameplay is lacking. Every year you get a number of points to spend on combo instructions, individual buildings, trees/decorations. The number of points is fairly limited compared to how much you have to buy with them. Furthermore, you are purchasing buildings individually, not blueprints. So you can only purchase buildings once a year, leading to a very sparsely decorated park for a long time until you can save enough over the course of many years. Buildings dont level up like they do in some other games either, making them feel completely unnecessary when compared to the enormous amount of money you will get from admission tickets and people giving you stuff all the time. Increasing animal cage size doesnt seem to work beyond 2 squares. The game tells you explicitly you can go up to 4 squares and to place a cage next to another one to get prompted to expand but that only works going from 1 to 2 squares. TL;DR: Boring. Little gameplay. Various features feel like afterthoughts rather than integral gameplay elements. Get at least 1 of every animal from expeditions and you can purchase the rest. Game essentially plays itself.
