Start your pups and cubs’ wildlife learning journey at our Parent and Toddler mornings at Dublin Zoo!
Based in the fantastic surroundings of Dublin Zoo, your little pups and cubs will get the opportunity to learn about wildlife and nature through pictures, crafts, sensory activities, animal yoga and visits to lots of different animals.
Led by a Dublin Zoo educator, each session has a different theme – from elephants to monkeys to dinosaurs – and are designed for you and your pups or cubs to grow their relationship with nature, meet other people and have fun.
Parent & Toddler sessions take place every second week from February – April and September – December. Sessions can be booked separately so you can come whenever it suits you.
