Dublin Zoo was opened by the Zoological Society of Ireland in 1831 on four acres of land in the Phoenix Park. The early collections included monkeys, lions, leopards, bears and parrots. In 1835, the zoo rented an elephant and a rhinoceros for the summer months. In 1836, London Zoo gave Dublin an elephant. Enclosures were rudimentary, designed for containment and to provide visitors with a good view of the animal. The iconic thatched entrance was built in 1833.
Since then Dublin Zoo’s world-class habitats include the African Savanna, Family Farm, Gorilla Rainforest, Sea Lion Cove and Flamingo Lagoon, the Orangutan Forest, Zoorassic World and Wolves in the Woods. In 2015, the Gorilla Rainforest was cited by the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums as a fine example of what can be achieved in a zoo. The conservation message has been skilfully woven into every activity of the zoo with help from a very successful behind-the-scenes television series, skilfully designed education programmes and ethical marketing. The interest of visitors saw annual visitor figures reach one million in 2011 (in a national population of around five million) and remain well over million each year until 2020 when the Covid pandemic closed the zoo for an extensive period. However such is the affection and regard of visitors for the zoo, in November 2020 over €2 million was raised within 48 hours on the announcement of a public appeal for help.
Dublin Zoo is still operated as a charity by the Zoological Society of Ireland and is managed by a highly professional team.
