PCA 2024 Nominated Brookfield Zoo

[Wowman]

I only showed what I have completed so far. As I complete each area of the zoo I will keep showing more.

[Wowman]

Time to move to a new section of the zoo. What I'm calling World Festival. This is not on the master plan that I'm working from as I decided to add this in myself. On the plan this is just grassy open space. I wanted something more useful in this area. So, I'm adding a food and shopping area that celebrates places from around the globe. It will have food trucks, shops, shaded places to rest and eat, etc. This will mostly be contained within the gold boxed area.

The small green box in the lower right corner is a worker hut and area for workers.

The blue circle is the queue area for the jeep ride that goes through the African Ungulate habitat. 

The habitat itself will be located in the open area above these color coded areas.

[Wowman]

Here is the areas being worked on right now. The Festival area will encompass most of the West Mall area on the map/plan (Orange circle). The green circle is the expanded Mixed (African) ungulates. this will not be finished in many of the next photos, but you will see it in the background. The jeep ride is also going through it, and the area just to the left of the Festival will be the queue and load station for the jeeps.

As a pyro person and not a park person it always amazes me how detailed you all get with layouts, where everything is, and your park maps. It's super cool to see especially coming from an outsider's perspective. Very excited to see what you do in this area and how it'll all come out!

Here is looking over at the festival area from the fountain plaza.

Looking down the main concourse.

I like that whimsical giraffe sculpture. Is it an in-game item? Toolbox? Or something that you built from parts?

[Wowman]

Headed down the main promenade.

[JB]

I like the Adventureland style of shops here.

[Wowman]

More of this stretch of the pathway.

[Wowman]

Further down the main walkway.

[JB]

That's an interesting looking building on the right, with the curved and domed roofs. I'm guessing it started out as a toolbox creation, plus your modifications?

[Wowman]

yes - from the workshop and no modified that much at on this one.

 

[Wowman]

Here is the backside of the main concourse. Not much here, but wanted to show it as to the left is the huge African Ungulate habitat and where the jeep ride will run. This walkway is a main viewing strip for these animals.

[Wowman]

Continuing down the backside of this row there is a restroom in the back of one of the shops.

[Wowman]

Across the concourse is the main festival area which is on a turf/grass area. It includes tress, tents, a bunch of vendors, and lots of places to sit and rest.

under one of the tents where you can sit, relax, get out of the sun, or have a bite to eat.

We ate at a restaurant in West Hollywood last month called La Bohème that had an outdoor covered patio looking EXACTLY like this! Love that atmosphere.
