Easter at Dublin Zoo
Something Egg-citing is Coming to Dublin Zoo…
We’re busy getting ready for a very special Easter at Dublin Zoo and trust us… you won’t want to miss it! Across the two weekends of the Easter school break, the Zoo will be bursting with family-friendly fun, surprise activities and seasonal moments designed to delight curious explorers of all ages.
While we’re keeping the full details under wraps for now, one thing’s for sure: there will be plenty happening throughout the Zoo! Think egg-citing competitions, pop-up entertainment, playful surprises and plenty of opportunities for little adventurers to get involved! 🐣
And the best part? Even without the Easter surprises, a day at Dublin Zoo is packed with unforgettable moments.
Your visit already includes:
- 🐘 Daily keeper talks and feeding times, where you can hear incredible animal stories straight from the experts
- 🦁 Encounters with over 400 animals from around the world
- 🦒 Exploring immersive habitats like the African Savanna and Kaziranga Forest Trail
- 🚜 Visiting the much-loved Family Farm
- 🌿 Space for kids to roam, discover and connect with wildlife
- ☕ Family-friendly cafés and picnic spots for a full day out
But what makes a visit to Dublin Zoo truly special is that your day out also makes a real difference.
Dublin Zoo is a conservation charity, and every visit and every euro spent helps support vital conservation work, protecting endangered species and habitats both here in Ireland and around the world. When you visit, you’re not just creating a memorable family day out, you’re helping safeguard wildlife for the future.

So, whether you’re visiting for the animals, the atmosphere or the mystery Easter fun yet to be revealed, there’s never been a better time to plan your trip.
