Experience Dino Discovery Weekend at Dublin Zoo

On Saturday, 20th and Sunday 21st July, visitors to Dublin Zoo can expect a T-rexcellent time!

Dublin Zoo opening hours extended for summer months, with 50% discount on entry after 4pm*

Dublin Zoo is inviting visitors to travel back in time for Dino Discovery Weekend, taking place this Saturday and Sunday from 11.30am to 4.30pm. With interactive activities for explorers of all ages, including baby dinosaur petting zoo and dinosaur fossil clay making, visitors are sure to have a dino-mite time!

From 11.30am on the Great Lawn both days, visitors will have a chance to learn about their favourite dinosaur species while getting close enough to pet them, while there will also be the chance to create your very own dinosaur fossil to take home.

Watch in awe as dinosaur eggs hatch on the Great Lawn, but be sure to keep your wits about you as dinosaurs roam the Plaza! If you want to blend in, visit the Farmhouse from 11.30am and have your face painted as your favourite dinosaur!

Later opening hours:

If you have a bone to pick with dinosaurs or simply can’t make it this weekend, never fear! Dublin Zoo has extended its summer opening hours to 7pm, so you have even more opportunities to visit! To celebrate the later opening, all visitors who purchase a single ticket at the Dublin Zoo gate after 4pm each day will receive a 50% discount. T&Cs apply*
