Retail with Real Impact 

At Dublin Zoo, we are a conservation charity dedicated to saving wildlife and inspiring a passion for nature – one person, one family at a time. 

When the refurbished shop reopens in March, it will continue its role as more than just a retail space. A long-standing part of Dublin Zoo’s conservation mission, every purchase = past and future – helps protect wildlife and the habitats they call home. 

100% of proceeds from the shop go directly back into delivering on our mission, supporting vital conservation work to protect endangered species here at Dublin Zoo, locally in Ireland and around the world. 

This competition is about more than naming a shop. It’s an opportunity for the public to play a part in our conservation story and help shape the future of Dublin Zoo.
