A must see for kids of all ages, Dublin Zoo has been engaged in the animal conservation of endangered species while entertaining thousands every year since the 1830s.
Located in the Phoenix Park (home itself to wandering deer), the Zoo includes mini replicas of the Artic, African and Indian to house the many elephants, tigers, gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, rare monkeys, rhinos, hippos, giraffes and many more.
Rumour has it that the monkeys don warm woolly jumpers in the winter but you will have to check that one out for yourself.
