Phoenix Park (including Dublin Zoo)
Best time to visit
Early mornings on weekdays in late spring or early autumn offer milder weather, quieter paths and more active wildlife. Late afternoon light around the Wellington Monument and the Victorian rose garden is excellent for photography.
Budget tips
Park access is free, Dublin Zoo requires paid timed tickets and advance online booking often costs less than walk-up. Look for family or annual zoo passes and check whether multi-attraction city passes include zoo entry to save money.

About
クイックファクト: Strolling under wide avenues of plane and oak, you might spot fallow deer grazing calmly on the lawns, a surprisingly tranquil wildlife scene tucked into an urban landscape. Visitors often discover that the on-site zoo's immersive habitats and hundreds of animals turn a casual walk into a string of vivid, audible encounters that delight families.
ハイライト: About 1,750 acres of rolling lawns and tree avenues hide a free-roaming herd of roughly 400 fallow deer, so on a quiet evening you might hear soft hoofbeats and see antlers silhouetted against the Wellington Monument. The city zoo, founded in 1831, still sits inside 19th-century brick pavilions where the tang of hay and the warm stone underfoot make morning keeper rounds feel like a living Victorian postcard.
Insider tips
- Wear waterproof layers and sturdy shoes, paths can be muddy after rain and weather changes quickly.
- Arrive early on weekdays to see fallow deer grazing and to avoid weekend family crowds near the zoo.
- Cycle or hire a bike at the park gates to cover more ground, use the wide avenues and dedicated cycle lanes.
- Photograph at golden hour near the Wellington Monument, Papal Cross or the ornamental gardens for the best compositions.
