Located just 25 minutes’ drive from Pillo Hotel & Spa Ashbourne, Dublin Zoo is a fun filled day out for all the family. Located right in the heart of Dublin City in Phoenix Park, it is one of Ireland’s most popular visitor attractions and welcomed almost one million visitors to the zoo last year.

As one of Ireland’s oldest, yet more contemporary zoos, the zoo measures over 28 hectares and is home to some 400 animals. The zoo aims to increasingly create habitats and combine species such as their African Savannah to create a more realistic, natural experience for their animals and an even more exciting one for their visitors.
