About Dublin Zoo
Dublin Zoo is a not-for-profit organisation, registered charity number 20003715. Since Dublin Zoo first opened its doors in 1831, it has been transformed with the support of the Irish public and now attracts over 1 million visitors a year. All funds received by Dublin Zoo including gate takings, donations and sponsorships are directly invested into the day to day management, running and upkeep of Dublin Zoo’s animals, their habitats and conservation projects.

Dublin Zoo is managed by caring, qualified and accredited zoo professionals who devote their lives to the welfare of animals at Dublin Zoo.
Dublin Zoo’s aim is to save wildlife and inspire a passion for nature – one person, one family at a time. This is achieved by providing world-class animal care, participating in 30 international conservation and breeding programmes for endangered species, and educating visitors on the importance of the natural world.
