Planet Zoo is a game that allows players' imaginations to run wild as they create an entire zoo from scratch. There are some premade items for them to place, but the best zoos are those with designs that players come up with themselves. It allows for some incredible builds that have others shutting down their games as they know they will never achieve that level of ingenuity.

9 Sky Gardens
One of the concepts in the game is to make an eco-friendly environment, which this Reddit user named u/RudiRennkamel took to a whole new level. He created a system of skyscrapers with nine habitats on top, and guests take the stairs in order to view them. Once the guests reach the top it has a modern look to it, as well as plenty of greenery, that keep both the guests and animals happy.
