Beginning as a private society for animal anatomists and physicists in 1831, Dublin Zoo has garnered an exceptional selection of wildlife experts and animal welfare specialists to keep their animals happy and growing strong. Hosting over 60 acres of living space for creatures both big and small, the zoo has been carefully divided into multiple subsections that reflect the many diverse ecosystems from which their animals originate. Whether you’re looking to sample a sight of African rhinos, Siberian tigers or Asian elephants, know that the diet, topography and behaviours for each animal have been carefully catered for.
Despite the zoo’s longstanding presence in the capital, Dublin Zoo has grown with the times to accommodate a modern audience whenever possible. Listen in on the zoo staff’s podcasts about the company’s conservation programmes, watch penguins and elephants live via online animal cam or host a personalised event for friends and family within the zoo’s natural boundaries. Nature enthusiasts can even return for special yearly events including Red Panda Day, Protect the Planet and World Animal Weekend, each with unique activities and lectures to further pursue your natural passion.
