Any ideas?

[KnaggenKnegg]

I am kinda stuck here where I sit.. I wanna do something on Planet Zoo, but I just do not know what. I want to do some challanges, but not the game challenges. I wanna start either a franchaise Zoo or a Challenge zoo, but I kinda just pick the animals I'll usually pick and stick to those and never new ones. Anyone have any interesting/creative ideas on what I can do to to make a fun Zoo? Either a theme, or some kind of generator..idk man. I am really lost..

Could go all reptiles? All cold weather? Just Exhibits? all underwater?

How about a tunnel zoo in a mountain?

Here is an idea. Begin by selecting a place you want to build your new zoo and then make up a story about a zoo. Try to fit things in the zoo that will work to make the story parts work out. For instance, there is this zoo high in the mountains where they keep cold weather animals and have great massive buildings where they display animals from the tropics...
I'll let you finish that story.

So pick animals you don't normally pick. I make it an unofficial rule that in every zoo I start I choose at least one species I've never had, to compliment my usual favourites *cough dogs cough*.

If you want a challenge - polar zoo, only (or mostly) tropical animals. I did that myself to train myself to build. The buildings are mostly !, but it did the job of teaching me how to build and the aurora are just the perfect backdrop for everything.

And failing all that, just start a zoo and do what comes to you. You don't always need a plan, you don't need to make something special, just have fun with it.

Maybe a safari zoo park where more than 75% of the habitats have a 4x4 tour truck running through them?
I know my sandbox zoo (the main, nonthemed one) has a good habitat like that.
It was just fun to run a small tour truck through the lions.

I would like to add my idea in this thread. Maybe it helps.

Since it is possible now to add custome made habitat information screens and videos I came up with building educational paths around the habitats. At the moment I am working on a path where the visitors can experiance the prefered food of sunbears. So i created a panels which says 'follow the steps of the sunbear' and 'Can you spot his favorit food items?' next to a graphic which shows termites, fruits, small animals. In the next step I prepared spots including a termite hill, fruits and stuff hidden behind path bends and bushes for the guests to explore. In my mind children can get cards to mark all spots so they can have some kind of zoo scavanger hunt.

I'm currently doing some of the career levels in sandbox - the Meyers one with the idea that Emma bought them out and is now completely re-doing them.

I also have an Arctic sandbox where everything will be ice themed. Already submitted 2 blueprints.
