Dublin Zoo first opened its doors on 1st September 1831 and was known as the Zoological Gardens Dublin. Its then 15 acres in the Phoenix Park featured 46 mammals and 72 birds donated by London Zoo. Visitors flocked to the zoo to marvel at animals they had only read about or seen in pictures, in some cases, animals they had never heard of!

Today, Dublin Zoo is a respected centre of conservation and education. As a registered charity (number CHY2964), all proceeds from events are used for the welfare and conservation of magnificent animals from all over the world.
