Phoenix Park
Start your Easter break exploring Phoenix Park, one of the most impressive and largest green spaces in Dublin.

B ring a picnic and enjoy a family lunch al fresco if the weather is fine. Keep an eye on the Phoenix Park website for information about Easter events.
The park is also home to the fantastic Dublin Zoo, a place treasured by young &old and one of the most popular family attractions in Ireland. Since it opened in 1831, the zoo has played a huge part in Dublin’s history, culture and the conservation of many rare species both native and exotic. The Zoo is home to over 100 animals from around the world, some of which we’d never see wild in Ireland. The grounds are vast and you’ll spend hours exploring and enjoying activities with your family. Visit the playgrounds, a reptile house, a petting farm and so much more.Â
Tayto Park
Technically not in Dublin but a short drive away in County Meath lies one of Ireland’s most exciting attractions. Tayto Park is an amusement park and zoo offering a great day out for children and adults of all ages. Thrill-seekers can enjoy rides not for the faint of heart while the little ones can enjoy smaller, exciting activities. Enjoy the fantastic 5D cinema, rides like Air Race or Endeavour, an extreme climbing wall, a flight school, playgrounds, water fun and so much more. Families can also spend time in the zoo admiring the diverse animal collection which features many conservation dependent species. Visit the squirrel monkeys, Red-bellied tamarins, Geoldi’s monkey and the beautiful birds of prey in the World of Raptors display.
