Our first recommendation is Planet Coaster, the spiritual successor to Roller Coaster Tycoon where you’re free to create distinctive theme parks and share them with players around the globe.

It features a Career mode that has you completing various scenarios with specific conditions in addition to Sandbox and Challenge modes that drop you on an empty plot of land with all items unlocked.

Planet Coaster boasts a remarkable 40+ rides and attractions to help draw customers along with numerous themed decorations to give your park a distinctive appearance and feel.

There are also numerous DLC packs that expand the number of themes available, ranging from fantasy to science fiction, Hollywood sets, pirates, and everything in between.

Another theme park management sim worth checking out is Parkitect, which is targeted at a more casual audience compared to robust park builders like Planet Coaster.

This is ideal for nostalgic Roller Coaster Tycoon fans that want a new customizable theme park experience but don’t need as many bells and whistles.

With that said, the game is still rather flexible when it comes to building tools, allowing you to alter terrain, place bodies of water, and create custom paths for your guests to walk around the park.

It also offers a deep library of decorative objects across several themes that can be expanded further with Steam Workshop mods.

If you’ve had your fill of roller coasters and carousels, why not try out a different theme park game that lets you create splendid habitats for exotic animals?

Planet Zoo comes well-recommended and is also made by Frontier Developments, the same studio behind Planet Coaster, so naturally, it follows a similar formula.

In it, you’re tasked with caring for a wide range of species with particular dietary, environmental, and social needs that have to be addressed while maintaining your zoo’s staff, facilities, and more.

The game gives you the option to play as a single character and follow them through a lifelong zoo-keeping career, or become a franchiser who oversees an entire vast complex.

Of course, if your passions for zoo keeping are limited to reptiles, particularly those from the Jurassic period, you may want to give Parkasaurus a chance instead.

Best described as Jurassic Park come to life, the game sees you building impressive dinosaur exhibits, scientific research facilities, and a plethora of amenities to keep guests satisfied.

With the core game, you get over 24 discoverable species that can be displayed in distinctive habitats designed for their needs and constructed entirely by you.

If safety and regulation aren’t really your specialty, you can just as easily set your dinosaurs loose and watch as guests freak out and scamper around the park.

For a more officially licensed take on dinosaur theme parks, check out Jurassic World Evolution, where you take on the role of a deranged unstable scientist experimenting with extinct animal DNA.

Your journey starts with the legendary Muertes archipelago location which is still home to a vast number of ferocious reptiles.

From there, you branch off and focus on one of three vital areas: Science, Entertainment, or Security, with each impacting your park’s reputation.

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the game for yourself, we suggest maybe holding out for the forthcoming sequel, Jurassic World Evolution 2, which releases later this year.

While not as extensively favored as customary exterior parks, indoor amusement parks can be equally enjoyable and exhilarating to explore, especially when you are the individual assembling them.

Indoorlands is a unique entry in the niche theme park sim genre that has managed to catch our interest during its Steam Early Access period.

You’re able to build and customize a wide selection of attractions using various themes with the option to mix and match or zero in on a specific aesthetic for your park.

The game also features a management component for ensuring parks are lucrative, along with the ability to manually operate or ride each attraction as a visitor.

While many of the games on this list dabble with roller coaster creation, No Limits 2 focuses on the more complex aspects of building your own rapid death tracks.

Therefore, it’s best suited for coaster enthusiasts and people who have an inherent interest in engineering, though you can still pick things up as you go as long as you don’t mind a steep learning curve.

With enough time, patience, and mastery of No Limits’ tools, you’ll be rewarded with the tremendous satisfaction of riding the roller coaster of your dreams.

If you’re still on the fence, consider trying out the complimentary No Limits 2 demo before investing in the complete game.

If you’ve been playing theme park games for an extended time, there’s a good chance you’ve spent time with any of the numerous RollerCoaster Tycoon installments.

The first one we’ll be recommending here is RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, which initially released way back in 2006 and is often cited as the greatest theme park sim ever made.

In it, you’re given unlimited roam over your park’s finances, shops, services, staff, and attractions while playing out various scenarios designed to hone your theme park tycoon skills.

The Complete Edition adds widescreen support at full 1080p resolution and incorporates all material from both RCT3: Soaked! and RCT3: Wild! expansion packs.

If you want to complete your RollerCoaster Tycoon collection, you can save money by purchasing RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic on PC or Mac.

This remastered bundle includes enhanced versions of both the original RCT and RCT2 with the Wacky Worlds and Time Twister expansion packs included.

In it, you play out 95 classic theme park scenarios using an intuitive toolkit that lets you edit scenery, rides, and other attractions based on authentic theme parks.

Additionally, you can come up with your own unique scenarios to share with friends as well as import other players’ creations.

We’ve covered a lot of games that revolve around building and managing theme parks, but what about one that focuses on just savoring the attractions?

Tower Unite is best described as a collective hub where players can come together and play various mini-games and interactive booths.

From arcade classics like skeeball and laser tag to mini-golf and kart racing, you’ll find no shortage of thrilling activities to explore while also making companions.

And for those who love building, Tower Unite lets you create your own virtual apartment complete with custom furniture and decorations, as well as import bespoke models for your avatar.

Last but not least, The Eldritch Zookeeper is a theme park sim currently in development by developer/publisher Cranktrain for PC and Mac.

In it, you play as a cursed zookeeper tasked with managing a zoo filled with otherworldly bizarre monsters that have preternatural abilities.

Your goal is to construct suitable enclosures for each monster and keep them both fed and satisfied to prevent unfortunate accidents throughout the park.

Along with displaying the most extraordinary creatures around, you’ll need to build amenities such as ice-cream stands, smoothie shops, bathrooms, and more to keep your visitors content.
