Dublin Zoo - by Evelyn O'Donnell on Google





Description
Dublin Zoo (Zú Bhaile Átha Cliath) is home to over 400 animals from 100+ species divided into various habitats such as the Himalayan Hills, Wolves in the Woods, the African Savanna, the World of Primates or the Kaziranga Forest Trail. The zoo is a non-profit organisation and its main conservation effort is in breeding endangered species.
Access & Transport
The zoo is located on the eastern side of Phoenix Park The bus routes that stop closest to Dublin Zoo are: C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, 26, 46A, 69. Alternatively, the Heuston train and tram station is a 20mins' walk away. The Lord’s Walk car park is located beside Dublin Zoo
Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining his activity with a walk within Phoenix Park, the president residence (The Lord’s Walk car park is located beside Dublin Zoo) is about a 10mins walk away. Alternatively, the National Museum of Ireland - Decorative Arts and History is 1.5km away (20mins walk)
Environmental & Social
Involved in several conservation projects and breeding programmes that partially mitigate for the animals being kept in captivity. Details here: https://www.dublinzoo.ie/conservation-in-action/
Conclusion
The zoo is one the best family activities in town but isn't great value, especially as its range of species is somewhat limited (for a capital city) - so fans of large zoos may be underwhelmed.
