Accessibility

Access

Dublin Zoo is 180 years old and contains a number of old buildings and structures. However, most of the Zoo is accessible for wheelchair users and those with walking difficulties.

Ability Challenged Persons Toilets  

There are 9 unisex accessible toilet facilities at various locations within the Zoo grounds which require a universal key to open. A universal key is available at all of the retail outlets in the Zoo. Alternatively you can contact the Irish Wheelchair association for details on how to apply for a key if you do not already have one. The I.W.A details are www.iwa.ie.

The policy of locking the toilets is so as to stop the misuse and damaged to the accessible toilets.

Wheelchairs

Dublin Zoo has 5 manual wheelchairs which are located at the Zoo entrance.

Assistance dogs

Dublin Zoo does not allow dogs into the main area of Dublin Zoo but we do have a sitting area at a location in the Zoo which provides temporary accommodation for assistance dogs while their owners visit the Zoo. Assistance dogs will be kept in comfortable accommodation for the duration of the visit and will be provided with fresh drinking water.
