Description official description

One of the more original "business" games made, DinoPark Tycoon is both a strategy and educational game. Build a theme park showing off various types of dinosaurs.

You are in charge, and have to do many things, including:

  • borrowing money
  • buying and selling dinosaurs
  • buying fences to keep them in, including electric fences for extra security
  • hiring staff, such as maintenance, cooks, tour guides, vets
  • building and expanding your park to include things such as washrooms, concession stands, and parking lots
  • setting admission fees
  • advertising your park

To aid you in making decisions, the game includes these plus more features:

  • dinosaur fact guide
  • daily records
  • quarterly financial reports
  • calender

There are many more features, such as the ability to buy seeds so you can grow your own plant life for the herbivores. If you want to take a break from the business part, you can watch your park and see people walking through the park and other things.
