The best zoo game i have ever played is definitely Zoo Tycoon 2 ultimate collection. As Zoo Tycoon 2 is over ten years old you can get it pretty cheap.

Yeah, I don't know if there are other zoo games comparable to the ZT series. You can get the ZT2 Ultimate Collection brand new for less than twenty bucks. Or, shoot, you can get the original Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection for five.
Free games, eh, I know there are a number of "freemium" zoo games. Whether or not you enjoy them depends on the type of game experience you're looking for. Freemium zoo games don't really have much in the way of exhibit and map customization. They're more like Farmville with a zoo theme. I've tried a few different freemium zoo games in the past, but got bored of them pretty quickly. (mostly due to the usual freemium game problems, you either have to pay real money or spam your friends for stuff to progress)
I've played
Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection
Zoo Tycoon 2 (with all expansions)
Zoo Tycoon - Xbox edition
Wildlife Park
Wildlife Park 2
Zoo Empire
Marine Park Empire
Dino Island
Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis
Microsoft's original Zoo Tycoon games are the clear winner of the bunch. (JPOG is a good game if you want the JP vibe, obviously, but if you just want a zoo sim, it's not the best bet.)

Hear me out first because it will sound totally bizzare and bonkers but Viva Pinita TIP is probably my favourite zoo game. Fake animals yes however it was based on real animals and is stupidly addictive fun. I tried zoo tycoon and enjoyed it but never got into it and enjoyed it as much as V.P. It also had a great puzzle / challenge element too with trying to work out how each species would come to the garden then how you would breed them. Yes breed pinatas.

IMO Minecraft is the best non-zoo tycoon building game, with mods you can build a big zoo

Well this aged well…
I know this isn’t like Zoo Tycoon but if you enjoy animals, nature, and conservation, check out Gibbon: Beyond The Trees on Apple Arcade. It’s about a family of White Cheeked Gibbons who have to cope with man. This game’s powerful message almost made me cry while playing, you should really just check it out.
