Yup...that's the book!

 

On with the tour!

 

As you enter the zoo, you need to stop at one of the ticket booths, where you will be helped by one of our friendly staff:

Thanks, AZ!!!!

 

It was my first time making a two floor building and it was pretty fun! I was originally going to make it a restaurant using food stands and Sophie's Restaurant Pack, but I thought of this instead. The animals in the tank are actual ambients, so no feeding required!

 

I used educators to man the booths...they stayed in until I put the benches in...then they were like "We're tired of standing!"

 

I created the booths Friday night...the rest I did yesterday...took awhile, but it was worth it. So fun to walk through! I learned a good lesson...when making a building, finish up one floor before starting the next one...or else you have to delete the elevated path you are using as the floor!

 

Can't wait to see your new zoo, AZ!!!
