Do not buy!
It constantly freezes. You have to close the game and reopen it constantly because of how much it freezes. Disappointing!
★★★★★positiveShelbyknits · 2026-07-17 · v1.7.7 - Congo Jungle and Antarctica
Wonderful management sim
A love letter to the old Tycoon series of games. Well designed and refreshingly free of micro transactions and artificial slow downs. Definitely worth picking up!

Retro Zoo Tycoon!! Awesome
I’ve been looking for no idle tycoon games and I found this gem! It reminded me of zoo tycoon playing as a kid. This isn’t pay to win or wait 20 mins to build something junk. I like the game, it’s a really good base.
-Theres something off with the vendor/customer mechanics. Should be easier than it is to make money with a food cart. I get a thumbs down and still loose money.
-A screen to have an option to change all product prices at the same time would be nice.
-it’d be nice once you pull up your animals in zoo menu on top right to have the avg happiness for each animal type below all of them. As well as a back button to go back to looking at all animals. Or a screen that shows the animals with a happiness/health bar. To try and prevent over crowding or under population deaths. Something you can pull up real quick.
Great game keep up the good work! Worth the money buy it!
★★★★★positiveMentions pricingT!!!!!!!!!!' · 2026-02-16 · v1.2 - India Expedition
Seems like it might be a good game
If only it was clear how to get through the tutorial, as the game does not show you how to change the biome. Spent about 25 minutes just burning all my cash trying different combinations until I ran out of money
★★★★★positiveciaomunch. · 2026-02-07 · v1.2 - India Expedition
A true labor of love
Extremely impressive, thoughtful, and well-executed on all fronts - can't wait to see what future updates will bring!
(Perhaps... dinos, at some point?)
★★★★★positiveMentions pricingNoeinan · 2025-12-22 · v1.1.11 - Andes Expedition
No Microtransactions
This is a cute little game with an interesting spin on the conservation aspect. You go on expeditions to find new species for the zoo, then breed at the zoo and release back to the wild for conservation points.
Overall fun and refreshing. I have some small quality of life complaints that hopefully will be addressed in future updates.
1. The build menu is very frustrating because it is easy to accidentally build something (fence, path, tree, etc) but if you demolish it you don’t get your money back. This can lead to very frustrating lack of funds, especially early game. The phone doesn’t recognize two finger drag and instead builds something you don’t want essentially lighting your money on fire.
2. Menus have no back button. This means if I want to check the requirements for new animals in storage, I have to open the animal menu, open the list, click storage, look at one animal and be booted out only to have to add them all again. This is cumbersome.
3. When making new shops of the same type, it would be nice if the item price defaulted to the last price I set for that same item. Kind of annoying to add new shops and have to spend forever lowering the prices for everything.
4. It would be nice if I can see what item guests found too expensive when they leave reviews or if I click on them. If the guest purchased a bunch of things, I can estimate the expensive item should be what they didn’t purchase. But often you have to click many guests before finding one that bought multiple items. Maybe some extra graphs for each stand would help, tracking items sold and profit over time for each product making it easier to experiment.

Too Difficult to Figure Out or Read
Bummer. Just can’t get into this after trying got a frustrating 10 minutes.
★★★★★positiveMentions pricingMoshgra · 2025-12-11 · v1.1.9 - Andes Expedition
Love
From what i’ve been able to play so far, it seems lol a cute game with a lot of mechanics to delve into. i’m especially glad to see that it’s a full game with one time purchase, no IAP junk. The dev seems to update addrressing issues as well!

a wish come true
I was just thinking a few months ago about how there hasn’t truly been a spiritual successor to zoo tycoon on iOS, and like a wish came true, I came across this game!
I was nervous to purchase this game—with just 2 reviews and some screenshots, I wasn’t sure about spending the money to buy the game upfront. I’ve only had this game for a maybe an hour now but it’s absolutely my new favorite:
1) you can name individual animals, have more than 2 adults and 2 babies in the exhibit, etc
2) you build the paths, plant the trees, make sure terrain is at the right balance, pick the appropriate fencing, and can check the animals’ happiness and compare to the guidebook to see how to improve
And I absolutely adore the new mechanisms the game designer put into place including expeditions to native environments to unlock new animals and plants, as well as the customers judging your zoo using a modern starring system.
All in all, this game deserves all of the stars, highly recommend and can’t wait to see where the designer takes it next ❤️❤️

A promising game !!
Got a little bit of game time, and I’m really enjoying it, and can’t believe something hasn’t been made sooner. My only gripe right now is the UI not fitting my device. Lots of cut off content, making it hard/confusing to navigate. Hopefully that’s an easy fix. Looking forward to seeing what’s to come!

Perfect Zoo simulation
This game does a great job of filling the need I’ve missed on iOS for a long time. Zoo games frequently are free games with tons of micro transactions. This is not that at all.
The game is brand new so more content will be available later but it is a great game once you figure out what you are doing. If you like Zoo Tycoon you will love this!

Review after one day
The game is good by all standards, it took me a while to get used to removing/adding of paths though. However once I learned to do it properly the game became exciting, I would like more content in the future, overall I give this game an 8.5/10.
