Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection Controls Guide

When I was little, I dreamed of becoming a zookeeper… Sounds cliché, I know I know. But, like many kids, I had that thought after visiting my first zoo—not surprising, huh? And then over time, the dream faded away. Luckily, we have zoo management games to make our old dreams come true, right?

Well, time passed by and gaming became a serious industry. We even have games now where we can manage dinosaurs, like Jurassic World Evolution 1-2. If you are not into dinos and are more into living creatures from our current time, the Zoo Tycoon series is another great one. Their latest installment, 2018: Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection, offers over 200 stunning animals from around the globe. You get to design and manage your ideal zoo and, of course, take care of all of your awesome animals.

In this quick guide, we list all the necessary hotkeys and keyboard controls you need to know. After all, zoo management games are also serious strategy games, so knowing hotkeys is crucial. We also have a video that shows all the PC settings you need to know as well as info on what resolutions the game supports, language, control settings, and more for the curious.
