Yup! Like most of us I got MM and decided to make some zoos and now I'm gunna share them with you. My zoos are horrible, but oh well! Hope you enjoy.

First we have the entrance with the pretty pink almond trees :wub:


After you go around the fountain, you can go up a widdle hill...


And then down to the left into the first section of the zoo: The Kiddy Pirate Land!


It's got everything a little kid would want:
Pretty red gems..


As well as a giant play structure, sea horse bouncy ride and aquarium!

Of course I hate sharks.... but I put them in anyway since I figured they'd be popular with the little ones : :P :

First we got the Hammer Head Shark exhibit:



I figure they'd like to see the ship wreck too!

And now we have White Sharks:

Again, not my animal... but...


Finally the overhead... I love trees! :bounce:


That's all for today; yep, they're pretty bad :pinch: But, I'll get some more tomorrow which will hopefully be better :woot:

You're too modest.  This zoo is great!

Do you have the biome redo hacks (can't think of the proper names, but they make the biome colors more realistic) or is that coastal grass in the last pic? Either way it looks amazing! And I'm sure that the kiddies enjoyed the sharks :lolol:

Great zoo so far PM!  Does the ship function as an arch?  I mean, can the guests really walk underneath it?

Good zoos, Penguinman. I know it is a little frustrating starting a thing like this. They look wonderful though, alot better than my zoo.

That's a good marine zoo! You're doing good! I like how there's a path going through the shipwreck! But, are guests able to walk through the hole? Since I couldn't in zoo guest mode. :ermm: Great job! :thumbsup:

Lookin good PM! :thumbsup: I really like the pirate themed kiddie area...I may almost be 18 but I would still run to play there! :woot: I never thought to use the  pirate theme in a kiddie area, I just might have to try that. :whistling At a zoo not too far away from here, they used to have monkeys that lived on a replicated pirate ship. It was a really cool exhibit surrounded by water, but they made it into a bumper boat ride and moved the monkeys to a different exhibit.

Holy cow thanks so much everyone!! Bengal: That sounds like an awesome monkey exhibit :P


And now... we have a nice beautiful reef section which lies on the other side of the hilly path, opposite the pirates.


It's just one large exhibit with common dolphins and mantas (couldn't bring myself to use MORE sharks lol).


As you go down the path, you can stop and see a cool view of underwater and above water at the same time. Look at that silly ray trying to get a view of the sky! XD


And as you descend you start getting too deep to see above too :(

Finally you reach the bottom landing area with a donation box in case you love it just that much!


From here you can see sooo much, including a small nook in front and to the right of you.


And from above:


And from inside the water in the corner:


Hope you enjoy it! I wub the reef biome! :D
