The long history of Dublin Zoo was put on record in 2009 for the first time with the publication of Dublin Zoo: an illustrated history. The new edition released this year brings the history of Dublin Zoo to life, from its modest beginnings on a four-hectare plot, to today’s Zoo of 70 hectares and includes a wide range of archive photography, interviews, new material and recent milestones such as the opening of many new world-renowned habitats and education centres.

Speaking about the book, author Catherine de Courcy said: “It has been a pleasure to explore and present the wonderful achievements of the Dublin Zoo team over the past 20 years in the context of the Zoo’s 189-year history.”

To celebrate the release of the new edition of Dublin Zoo: An illustrated history, we will be running various competitions on our social media pages starting on Monday 31st August to coincide with Dublin Zoo’s 189^th birthday on 1^st September! The competitions will range from photography competitions to general knowledge questions on the animals at Dublin Zoo. Each competition will see one lucky fan winning a copy of Dublin Zoo: An illustrated history and a Family Day Pass to visit Dublin Zoo. Check out the competition T&Cs here.
