Run a zoo or an aquarium

These are the slower games: you look after the animals and the business around them.

  • Mini-Zoos-Online is a zoo simulation. You start with a mini farm and make money by feeding the animals, cleaning them and selling tickets. You can expand and build more business, and you hire workers because you cannot do it all yourself.
  • Cute Zoo is about baby animals. Heal, wash and feed them, and play with them in small games: the tiger cub likes a toy mouse, the baby elephant likes balls and the penguins like to dive and swim. The left mouse button or touch does everything.
  • Fish Aquarium Game lets you collect colorful fish and decorate your tank. You click every button with the mouse.

More games about keeping and managing things are in simulator games online.

Zoo puzzle games

  • Animal Merge: Zoo Drop has you drop zoo animals into a jar. Two of the same animal merge into a bigger one: two chicks make a bunny, two bunnies make a cat, and the chain runs up to an elephant. Do not let the jar overflow.
  • Zoo Mahjongg Deluxe is a tile game: remove identical tiles in pairs until all the tiles are collected. It works with a mouse or a touch screen.
  • Zoo Zoom Shapes asks you to match each animal picture with its shadow outline.
  • Animal Puzzle Deluxe offers jigsaws in four styles: Classic Jigsaw, Wave Pieces, Hexa Puzzles and Irregular Shapes.
  • Lion Safari: Jigsaw Puzzles is a jigsaw of lion pictures with 6, 12 or 24 pieces and hints.
  • Wild Fusion is an idle merge game: merge two matching animals into a higher species, and buy more animals from the shop.

Merging is explained in what are merge games, and jigsaws in online jigsaw puzzle tips.

Arcade, truck and simulator games set in a zoo

The rest are action games: arcade, driving and simulators.

  • Zoo Run is an endless isometric runner with 8 animal characters. The background changes as you run, and the difficulty rises. The mouse controls it.
  • Zoo Pinball is a pinball table with a zoo theme. Aim the ball into the jaws of the lion, tiger or hippo for points. Tap left or right for the flippers, and swipe before playing to shoot the ball.
  • Wild Animal Transport Truck is a 3D driving game in which the zoo asks you to carry animals to marked spots across ten levels. You have a time limit, and the game is lost if the truck falls into the lake. WASD or a D-pad moves the truck, and phones get tap buttons.
  • Transport Dinos To The Dino Zoo is a truck simulation in a jungle: take an angry dino to the Jurassic zoo. WASD moves.
  • Zoo Elephant Simulator City Attack casts you as a wild elephant, with Jungle, City and Free modes. Raise an elephant family, battle predators and finish missions. WASD moves, the mouse turns the camera, E attacks, Shift sprints and F is the action key. A phone gets a joystick and a drag-to-turn camera.
  • Zoo Anomaly Simulation is a first-person shooter set in a zoo where the animals have mutated. You grab weapons and fight giraffes, zebras, elephants and more.

Tips for zoo games

  1. In Mini-Zoos-Online, income comes from feeding, cleaning and selling tickets, and the game says to hire workers because you cannot do everything yourself.
  2. In Animal Merge: Zoo Drop, keep matching animals next to each other and do not let the jar overflow.
  3. In Wild Animal Transport Truck, drive steadily. The time limit is enough to drive, and falling into the lake loses the game.
  4. In Zoo Pinball, swipe to shoot the ball first, then tap left or right for the flippers.
