Four new scenery themes and five returning themes are in Planet Zoo 2. The Planet Zoo 2 building themes showcase presents Planet, North, East, South and West, with Planet bringing together zoo essentials and returning favourites. You can also use scenery in Wildlife Reserves.
Which Planet Zoo 2 themes are new or returning?
The theme lineup includes four brand-new scenery themes and five returning themes from the original Planet Zoo.
| Scenery group | Count | What you can expect |
|---|---|---|
| Brand-new themes | Four | Architecture inspired by places around the world |
| Returning themes | Five | Scenery from the original Planet Zoo |
The five showcase labels can look like a second theme count at first glance. Read Planet, North, East, South and West as the displayed theme lineup, alongside the separate four-new, five-returning breakdown. Don't count Planet as an extra tenth theme.
Original-game pieces return too: bronze scenery from Planet Zoo makes a good finishing touch, for example around a red deer sign.
Which building theme should you choose for your zoo?
Choose Planet for zoo essentials, North for rugged cold-region scenery, East for a bright tropical look, South for organic scenery, or West for a temperate pastoral style.
Planet: Recommended for a starting palette
Planet includes the essentials for starting your zoo and returning favourites from Planet Zoo. If you want a practical starting point before settling on a regional look, this is the clearest fit. Pair that choice with the Planet Zoo 2 tips when planning your first zoo.
North: Wood, metal and rugged scenery
North brings the look of the northern hemisphere's colder regions. North includes wooden and metal pieces, some shaped like little trees, which suit a nature-inspired structure.
East: A bright tropical look
East offers bright, tranquil tropical scenery. Pick it when you want the scenery palette to suggest a tropical paradise. For the landscape side of your plan, continue to Planet Zoo 2 biomes.
South: Organic and elegant scenery
South focuses on organic, elegant scenery with a back-to-nature feel. Choose it when that look is your priority; its description alone doesn't tell you which individual construction pieces it contains.
West: Temperate and pastoral scenery
West gives you homely, temperate scenery for a pastoral look. Decorated observation towers in West scenery show how this theme looks in a reserve.
Can you use building themes in Wildlife Reserves?
Yes, scenery pieces can be used in Wildlife Reserve areas.
Scenery is available in wildlife areas too. Decorate observation towers with a theme, then add details such as bronze pieces around animal signs to build your reserve's look.
You now have a starting palette and specific reserve examples to compare. Next, head to the Planet Zoo 2 wildlife reserve page to plan the area those structures will sit in.
