A group from Mallow visited Dublin zoo last week and had a very enjoyable day. It is a bit expensive at €14.50 for pensioners but never the less enjoyable. It was a lovely Autumnal day with a few spits of rain and lots of sunshine.
I was very impressed with the animals . They seemed so content and had plenty of space outdoors and cover also, as near natural as possible. The fresh air was lovely and it was a very relaxing day.
The only downside for me was the amount of plasticy ornaments depicting fairy stories obviously to encourage children.
