Zoo Reviews

This zoo is fantastic. The animals look very well cared for and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Zoo Reviews

This zoo is so lovely! I genuinely enjoyed walking around, seeing all the wonderful animals. I don’t think I’ve ever been so close to a giraffe!

- Lindsay K

Zoo Reviews

Small but very special collection of mostly endangered and rare species of animals (snow leopard, lowland gorilla) and all of them in specious settings. The whole zoo is like a garden as well, lots of plants and flowers and almost a botanical garden. Great time!

Zoo Reviews

The TV programme The Zoo made me interested in Dublin Zoo again. Well it didn’t disappoint. You can spend the whole day there. It compares very well with London or Berlin. It is so well kept. Staff excellent. And the animals…Well isn’t that why we go?
