Zoo Tokens and VIP
How to earn and spend Zoo Tokens, Zoo VIP, adoptions and golden scenery.
Zoo Tokens are the game's special currency. They belong to you, not to one zoo, so every zoo you play shares them. You never need to buy anything to enjoy the game: there are plenty of ways to earn tokens just by playing.
🪙 Earning Zoo Tokens
- Daily gift: at least 5 tokens, more at higher levels and on a streak. Daily gift
- Levels: 2 tokens each level, 5 from level 16.
- Missions: 1 or 2 tokens each.
You can earn up to 150 tokens a day by playing an online zoo. Tokens you buy don't count toward that.

👑 Zoo VIP
Zoo VIP is yours for good once it's bought, in every zoo. It comes from the store on its own or in the Starter Pack.
- Everything builds twice as fast.
- No build limit: build as many things at once as you like (others can build 2 at a time).
- No ads before you play.
- The Diamond Elephant, a statue only VIPs can buy.
💛 Adopt an animal
Each adoption you buy lets you pick one of your animals and give it a name. It wears a name plaque and a golden coat, and it's yours for good: it never gets too hungry or sick, never breaks loose, and hunters leave it alone. Even selling it is turned down, so it can't be lost by accident. Half of what an adoption costs goes to the Wildlife Conservation Society.
✨ Golden scenery
Shiny versions of favorite pieces, bought with Zoo Tokens. Each one does the same as the piece it's made from.
Buying something with real money? If you're under 18, ask a parent or guardian first. Tokens and VIP you buy go to your account, so log in before you buy. Class zoos never sell anything.
