Spend a day at Dublin Zoo, Ireland's largest. Wander through the African Plains, Fringes of the Arctic and Asian Forests, watching animals roam spacious habitats, with plenty of stops for food and rest along the way.

📖

Full description

Dublin Zoo is the largest zoo in Ireland, laid out with themed habitats including the African Plains, Fringes of the Arctic and Asian Forests. Visitors describe a large, well-maintained site with spacious enclosures, plenty of food options and outdoor places to eat, and a gift shop with reasonable prices.

Expect to walk a fair distance, so comfortable shoes help. A full visit takes around four hours, and going early avoids the busiest periods.

It is a natural choice for families with children, though even visitors who rarely enjoy zoos report being impressed by the animal care and layout.

Reviews

Great family day out. Go early to avoid the busier times, plenty of food choices and places to eat outside. Even the gift shop items are reasonably priced for an in demand attraction. Take time out afterwards to enjoy the Phoenix Park too.
