Dublin Zoo

Frommer's Review

Sprawling across 24 hectares (59 acres) of bucolic Phoenix Park on the north bank of the Liffey, this modern, humane zoo provides a naturally landscaped habitat for more than 235 species of wild animals and tropical birds. Highlights for youngsters include the Children's Pets Corner and a train ride around the zoo. Self-explanatory exhibits include "African Plains," "Fringes of the Arctic," and the "World of Primates." There are playgrounds and gift shops throughout the zoo. A downside: The restaurants within the zoo serve only fast food, but there are plenty of picnic areas for folks who want to bring their own meals.
