About this activity
Dublin Zoo is an amazing family-friendly destination that has been bringing joy and wonder to visitors for over 180 years. Located in the heart of Phoenix Park in Leinster, Dublin Zoo is home to over 400 animals from all over the world. From the majestic African elephants to the playful sea lions, there is something for everyone to enjoy at this amazing zoo.
One of the best things about Dublin Zoo is that it is designed with families in mind. There are plenty of activities and exhibits that are perfect for all ages, making it a great place to spend a day out with the whole family. For younger children, there is the amazing 'Zoorassic World' where they can learn all about dinosaurs and even get up close and personal with some prehistoric reptiles. Older children will love the 'Zooropia' area where they can zip line across the park or test their skills on the high ropes course.
One of the highlights of any visit to Dublin Zoo is the 'Penguin Coast' exhibit. This amazing area is home to a colony of Humboldt penguins and is one of the most popular attractions in the zoo.
