I got this for my 6 year old who loves animals thinking that she would get into it down the road. We play now at least 4 times weekly and my 4 year old joins in. We have built fairly complex scenario's and I am now only needed to read some of the comments. They list mild violence, but that is only if you break down the walls on purpose and let animals eat guests. We just never do that. I am amazed at the things that my daughter comes up with to build. It allows great creativity and hours of fun for us all.

My daughter gives it a BIG THUMBS UP!

I don't play this game but my 9 year old daughter does and she LOVES it! We also purchased the expansion game. She plays for hours on end and enjoys creating her own zoo! Good game at a GREAT price!

Hours of fun!

I got this for my daughter ...and she has thoroughly enjoyed it more than the roller coast game! It's fun and exciting to build your own zoo and with expansion games it's evn more fun! The game is great as you have to keep all the animals and guests happy. And if they are not happy you lose your previlages to purchase new animals, you don't get funding, people stop coming to the zoo and you slowly but surely (and in some cases very rapidly) lose money. It's a great game to teach children about responibility as far as caring for animals, managing money, etc. It's not as if they can just build a cage, stick an animal in it and that's it. You have to provide shelter, foliage, rocks, grass, water, snow, toys, food, animal trainers, etc. And you need maintenance workers to repair fences, clean the grounds, etc. It's a lot of fun and you can spend hours on this game. I can honestly say that I've enjoyed it just as much as my daughter. I started playing it about 10 at night and it only seem like 30 minutes went by but it was already 1:30 in the morning! So time really does fly when you are playing this very enjoyable and what I believe to be a good educational tool for both children and adults!...

I bought this game after a few weeks of indecision about whether I should. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. It's extremely easy to learn and playable right out of the box. The scenarios are challenging, but not impossible, and the Sandbox mode (which allows you to set the amout of money you start out with) is a great way to learn the game without the limitations or requirements of scenarios.

This would be a great game for kids as well!

One of the Best Real Time Strategy Games Ever!

This one of the most creative and enjoyable RTS games on the market. The premise is simple: Build a zoo with a variety of exhibits that satisfies some given criteria. There is a lot more to completing that task than just putting some bars around some critters! You have to take the animals into consideration, as well as the guests who want to see them.

I have had this game for over a year now, and I still play it all the time. I like the freeform game where you can try to build a zoo that has every available animal and object.

Except for some animals fighting if they are put in the same cage, this game is nonviolent and appropriate for the entire family. Although, some younger children may find it a bid challenging so they can play with mom or dad!

This is still my favorite game to play ater owning it for almost half a year. Yet, there are stil pros and cons to this game that I wish I would have known before I bought this game, here are most of them:
Pros:
-The increasing number of animals and scenerios will keep you interested for a long time.
-The trees and other things will keep you trying new things to make your zoo look beautiful.
-(If you're like me)You will have a blast setting lions and bears loose in your zoo and watching them attack the guests.
-You can choose two different ways to play; open ended where your imagination is the limit for your zoo, or scenerio where if will give you goals and you will have to reach them, yet even on scenerio, if you do not reach your goal, you have the option to play open ended.
Cons:
-Without the expansion packs, the regular animals will become a bore after about 2 weeks
-A lot like rollercoaster tycoon

I did buy both of the expansion packs, but I got Dinosaur Digs included with my Marine Mania, and the price of Marine Mania was really small considering how often my CD is used between me and my friend. The only thing I want you to keep in mind when buying this is that nothing is as great as it sounds, although this game comes close. :)

This game is a lot of fun, but I recommend getting the Zoo Tycoon Complete. You get more options with it.
