Gameplay
Zoo Park is a tycoon-style simulation game in which players must build and manage their own zoo. The game begins with a small plot of land and a few animals, and players must gradually expand their zoo by building new habitats, hiring staff, and attracting visitors.

One of the most important aspects of Zoo Park is caring for the animals. Players must ensure that their animals have the right food, water, and shelter. They must also keep their animals healthy by providing them with regular checkups and vaccinations. If an animal becomes sick or injured, players must treat it using the game’s veterinary clinic.
In addition to caring for the animals, players must also entertain the visitors to their zoo. Players can build a variety of attractions, such as petting zoos, playgrounds, and gift shops.
