Things to do at the Dublin Zoo

Your visit allows you to explore expansive, world-class habitats like the African Savanna, where you can see giraffes and zebras roam, and the Kaziranga Forest Trail, home to the majestic Asian elephants. You can also discover predators in the Wolves in the Woods exhibit, encounter western lowland gorillas in the Gorilla Rainforest, and learn about vital conservation efforts that protect endangered species. Be sure to visit the lively sea lion colony and the diverse creatures in the South American House for a truly global wildlife experience.

Getting to the Dublin Zoo

Reaching Dublin Zoo from the Glenroyal Hotel is a simple and direct journey. A short five-minute walk from the hotel brings you to the Maynooth Road stop, where you will board the direct Dublin Express Route 300 coach service. After a comfortable 45-minute ride into the city, we recommend disembarking at the city centre and taking a short 10-minute taxi ride directly to the zoo’s entrance in the Phoenix Park, as it is the most convenient option.
