Get your hands dirty managing a safari park in Zoo Life Simulator, a first-person park builder where up to 4 zookeepers can attempt to manage the chaos of day-to-day zoo life from the dirt up!
March 19, 2026 – The wait is over, the enclosures are (mostly) secure, and the animals are hungry! Zoo Life Simulator, a chaotic, co-operative take on the world of safari park building, has officially stampeded into Steam Early Access today. Ditching spreadsheets for shovels and balance sheets for bags of animal feed, Zoo Life Simulator’s first-person viewpoint drops you right in as you build, manage, and (try to) survive the daily tasks of managing a growing Zoo.
Your new job as Park Manager will see you design enclosures to attract new exotic animals to the park, build facilities to accommodate your visitors’ evolving needs, and keep your growing menagerie fed, clean, and happy. The work never stops, and one unlocked gate could leave some visitors getting an impromptu encounter with a roaming parade of elephants…
Luckily, Zoo Life Simulator’s co-op mode lets you take on the challenge with up to 4 players, although we can’t guarantee that it just won’t lead to more mayhem. Your fellow park managers could help build an enclosure for the Giraffes, or forget to restock the restaurant, leaving a bunch of tourists incredibly unhappy and demanding refunds, but that’s zoo management, right?
If you do get five minutes to yourself without anything breaking, why not take advantage of your complimentary buggy and go for a drive? More realistically, this speedy ride will be more useful for zipping resources around the park at record time, although you could always challenge your pals to a race. Who needs red shells and banana skins when a living, breathing gorilla is blocking the way because someone left a gap in the fence?
Key Features:
- Build your dream safari park and host exotic animals from all over the world!
- Experience every roar, sqwark, and complaint from a first-person perspective.
- Play with up to 4 players in a co-op experience that promises efficiency but will likely just lead to mayhem…
- Embrace the messy side of zoo management, one cleaned-up enclosure and restocked feeder at a time.
Zoo Life Simulator is available now on Steam, launching for $9.99 with a 25% launch discount. More information on the game and news on future updates during early access can be found by joining the official Discord.
