Revision 1

Beyond its animals, Planet Zoo 2 is a management game about keeping both visitors and workers happy. Guests arrive to see the animals and spend money at shops and amenities, and well-run zoos also offer educational opportunities that deepen a visitor's experience.

A healthy economy ties everything together: a higher zoo rating draws more guests, whose spending funds further expansion and research. Players weigh ticket income and facilities against the cost of building and running habitats.

Staff

Keepers and other staff keep the zoo functioning. They are supported by dedicated facilities and editable working areas, and players manage their morale and training to keep the operation running smoothly.

A living world

Zoos exist in a changing world, with seasons, varied weather conditions, and longer in-game years that make the passage of time more meaningful. The animals themselves respond to these conditions, as described under Animals and Welfare.
