How to get to Dublin Zoo

Zoo Reviews

The zoo was clean, staff friendly and the most important part is the animals seem happy. They have big enclosures and plenty of hiding places. I liked that there was islands for them to mix with other breeds.

An absolute gold nugget in Dublin. Large, well kept and full of animals from wolves to gorillas this is an amazing place. Get there early as parking and queues get busy quickly during weekends and bank holidays

This is a lovely zoo and it is over a large area, it also is clean and the setting is pretty with some lovely plants, we missed the feeding of the penguin’s which we have heard is good. We had a lovely day out.
