Double the Discovery: Dublin Zoo and EPIC Bring Back the Dublin Double Ticket

At EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, visitors can smell heather, listen to sheep bleating, touch basalt and watch a damsel fly dance in their new Isle of the Senses gallery. They can redirect planes and ships with their feet on the interactive LED floor; there’s even a sea monster lurking below the surface for little visitors to find.  Through interactive galleries, fascinating personal stories, immersive exhibits and a brand-new kids tour on their audio guide, visitors can discover Ireland and its global impact like never before. 

Then, as daylight fades, the adventure continues at Dublin Zoo’s Wild Lights, where the Zoo is transformed into an illuminated world bursting with colour, creativity and larger-than-life installations. Visitors can step into an enchanting after-dark experience and discover a spectacular world alive with stories and secrets. 

Together, the two attractions offer a unique way to experience Dublin from day to night – culture, discovery and wonder, all in one ticket. Whether planning a winter break in the capital, looking for a memorable day out with family and friends, or rediscovering Dublin closer to home, the Dublin Double makes it easy to experience more of the city for less. 

With a 15% saving, the Dublin Double Ticket offers even more reason to discover two unforgettable sides of Dublin this winter. 

Róisín Healy, Marketing Manager at Dublin Zoo commented on the collaboration between the beloved Irish attractions: 

“We’re delighted to partner with EPIC once again for the return of the Dublin Double Ticket. This year, Wild Lights is a Passport to Wonder, taking visitors on a spectacular journey through nine different zones, including a celebration of Ireland alongside cultures and traditions from around the world. It feels like a perfect pairing with EPIC who since our last partnership, have opened three brand new immersive and multi-sensory galleries. From discovering the extraordinary impact of Irish people on the globe by day to travelling through a world of colour, celebration and wonder by night. Together, they make for a truly unique winter day out in Dublin.” 

Holly McGlynn, Head of Communications at EPIC commented on teaming up with Dublin Zoo for the second year in a row:

“We’re thrilled to partner with Dublin Zoo once again for the Dublin Double, particularly with this year’s theme being Passport to Wonder. At EPIC, we celebrate the extraordinary stories of Irish people who have left our shores and gone on to achieve incredible things in every corner of the globe. From uncovering these stories in our immersive galleries by day to experiencing the magic of Wild Lights by night, the ticket is a truly unforgettable experience for the whole family and a must-do for anyone in Dublin this winter.” 

The Dublin Double Ticket is on sale from the 15th of October 2026, and is applicable for visits between November 12th, 2026, and the 5th of January 2027, with a 15% saving across admission to EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum and Wild Lights at Dublin Zoo.
