Ultimate Zoo is an Idea I have for a Zoo Tycoon 2/Planet Zoo-style park building game, with the same limitless amount of creative potential and modular building system of Planet Zoo (along with the feature of resizing objects like Prehistoric Kingdom) combined with the Zoo visitor and Zookeeper modes of ZT2 (in both first and third person views) along with the ability to drive around your zoo and interact with your animals like the Xbox game. basically everything I want in my dream Zoo game.

Two new enclosure types are introduced, the first being the Aquarium, the aquatic equivalent of terrariums meant for housing smaller marine life such as small fish, molluscs, and crustaceans. unlike the base game terrariums, multiple species can be housed inside one aquarium at the same time to create community tanks.

The second of these new enclosure types is the Oceanarium, the aquatic equivalent to open enclosures meant for housing your larger animals such as large fish, sharks, rays, sea turtles, and marine mammals. you can make them as big and as deep as you want (similar to the tank wall system from Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania). smaller aquarium species can also be housed in Oceanariums to fill out space in your marine enclosures and make them feel less barren, so yay backwards compatibility!

Underwater tunnels can also be built which go through Oceanariums giving your guests an up-close look at your marine residents!

The Oceans update for Ultimate Zoo is divided into six expansions each covering a different underwater biome allowing for a super-expansive roster of new animals to fill your parks, from adorable Sea Otters of the temperate coasts to colorful Tangs and Clownfish of the tropical reefs to open ocean giants such as Whale Sharks, Manta Rays, and Indo-pacific Sailfish to the bizarre alien denizens of the deep sea such as Goblin Sharks and Giant Oarfish to playful Beluga Whales in the polar waters to the freshwater giants of the world's rivers such as the Arapaima and Mekong Giant Catfish, a whole new world is now open to zookeepers everywhere once you take the plunge!
