Located in the lovely Phoenix Park on Dublin’s northside, Dublin Zoo is the most popular tourist attraction in Ireland, and it offers a fantastic day out for all the family. This large zoo is divided into fascinating sections such as ‘The Fringes of the Artic’, ‘The African Plains’ and ‘World of Primates’. Children and adult’s favourite animals all inhabit the zoo: from hippos to tigers, orang-utans to giraffes. Dublin Zoo also places strong emphasis on conservation as it holds the European studbooks for the likes of Golden Lion Tamarins and Moluccan Cockatoos. The zoo is also involved in international conservation and education efforts, such as offering alternatives to the Bushmeat trade.
