Awesome Aquatics

Prepare your diving suit! Fully aquatic species make a splash in their stunning debut! Build custom spectacular freshwater or saltwater aquariums to home an exciting line-up of delightful swimming animals. A new world beneath the water awaits, filled with colorful shoals of fish, Black-tipped Reef Sharks, Hawksbill Turtles and so many more!

Frequent Flyers

Soar to great heights with a diverse mix of bright and brilliant fully flying birds including the vibrant Toco Toucan and majestic Secretary Bird. House your birds in fully customizable aviaries built from barriers, support poles and dynamic mesh covers, allowing them to fly freely and safely. Observe their dynamic behaviors on the ground and in the sky as they glide around unique habitats.

Wildlife Reserves

Conservation goes beyond your zoo! Take on global conservation projects and meet specific requirements to release your animals into fully customizable, expansive Wildlife Reserves across the globe in living ecosystems created by you.

Let Your Creativity SOAR
