Dublin Zoo: Accessibility
Accessibility:
Special Needs Concession Prices:
Visitors with special needs may admit one accompanying carer free of charge when they purchase a special needs adult or child ticket.
Please bring relevant ID and documentation, such as an IAA Autism ID card, or an associated membership card, GP letter or hospital consultant letter which confirms the visitor is unable to visit Dublin Zoo independently without the aid of a carer or mobility aid.
Access:
Dublin Zoo is 180 years old and contains a number of old buildings and structures. However, most of the Zoo is accessible for wheelchair users and those with walking difficulties.
Ability Challenged Persons Toilets :
There are 9 unisex accessible toilet facilities at various locations within the Zoo grounds. Please ask any member of staff for the code to the accessible toilets upon entering the Zoo.
The policy of locking the toilets is to stop the misuse and damage to the accessible toilets.
Wheelchairs:
Dublin Zoo has 10 manual wheelchairs which are located at the Zoo entrance.
Assistance dogs:
Dublin Zoo does not allow dogs into the main area of Dublin Zoo but we do have a sitting area at a location in the Zoo which provides temporary accommodation for assistance dogs while their owners visit the Zoo. Assistance dogs will be kept in comfortable accommodation for the duration of the visit and will be provided with fresh drinking water.
