Dublin Zoo
One of Ireland's most popular attractions, the Dublin Zoo takes
visitors on a voyage of discovery from the Arctic to the Plains of
Africa via Indian Rainforest. See lions and tigers, Asian
elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees and orang-utans, rare monkeys,
rhinos, hippos, giraffes and many more exotic and endangered
species. There is also a pet's corner for the children, a city farm
and a safari train ride around the African Plains. The zoo is
recognised as one of the most modern in Europe, placing emphasis on
learning about wildlife and conservation along with enjoyment.
