How to Play Zoo Tycoon 2
In Zoo Tycoon 2, you are in charge of your zoo. This means you decide where to put animal exhibits, shops, and paths for visitors. You also need to hire people to help run the zoo, like zookeepers and maintenance workers.
Building Your Dream Zoo
You can choose from many different animals, from lions and tigers to giraffes and zebras. Each animal needs a special habitat that fits its needs. For example, a polar bear needs a cold, snowy home, while a lion needs a grassy savanna.
You can also add fun things for your visitors, like restaurants, gift shops, and restrooms. Keeping your visitors happy helps you earn more money for your zoo.
Managing Your Zoo's Money
Running a zoo costs money! You'll need to buy food for the animals, pay your staff, and build new things. You earn money from visitors who buy tickets and items from your shops. It's important to spend your money wisely to keep your zoo growing and successful.
Expansion Packs for More Fun
Zoo Tycoon 2 has several expansion packs that add new animals, buildings, and challenges to the game. These packs let you explore different themes and add even more excitement to your zoo.
- Endangered Species: This pack lets you care for rare and endangered animals. You can help protect animals that are at risk in the real world.
