Zoo Reviews

I really didn’t know what to expect but it far exceeded our expectations. The guide’s engagement with the children was fabulous & the mix between learning & fun was superb.

Congrats the dedicated team who work in Dublin Zoo, we had a fantastic day. Our Zoo educator was so patient with our kids and so calm considering the children were firing questions at him from all angles. Well done and keep up the incredible enthusiasm that you have for your work.

Thank you, yet again, for a very well organized and enjoyable Leaving Cert ecology trip. Your guides were professional, knowledgeable and so kind to the pupils.

- Loreto High School

I have been coming here for years. I regularly take schoolchildren on trips as well as bringing my granddaughter. It is a beautiful place, very well laid out and the staff are lovely and very knowledgeable. The African plains are great.

The zoo was clean, staff friendly and the most important part is the animals seem happy. They have big enclosures and plenty of hiding places. I liked that there was islands for them to mix with other breeds.
