Welcome to Top, the ultimate zoo management simulation where you are in charge of creating a world-class animal park. Start with a small plot of land and a few basic animals, and expand your vision into a sprawling sanctuary for creatures from around the globe. Your responsibilities include everything from designing naturalistic habitats with trees, water features, and shelters to ensuring each animal is well-fed, healthy, and happy. Manage your finances by setting ticket prices, building concession stands, and hiring staff like zookeepers and veterinarians. As your zoo grows in popularity, you will unlock rare and exotic animals, advanced building options, and decorative items to make your park truly unique. The goal of Top is not just to build a profitable business, but to foster a deep connection with your animals and provide an educational, enjoyable experience for your virtual visitors. Every decision you make impacts the well-being of your animals and the satisfaction of your guests.

This is the best zoo sim I have played in years. The animal AI is fantastic, and I love watching the pandas play.
