One of the oldest zoos in the world — Dublin Zoo — is located within Phoenix Park, Europe’s largest urban park. Spanning a vast area and home to a rich diversity of species, it is a highly popular educational and recreational destination for families in Ireland.

Founded in 1830, Dublin Zoo is home to over 700 species of animals and birds.

In addition to its large area, the zoo also resembles a giant botanical garden, with lush greenery and vibrant flowers all around.

With such a diverse array of species, the facilities and services throughout the zoo are also very well planned, though this is reflected in the relatively high ticket prices.

For example, the total cost for two adults and one child from Taiwan would be around 160 New Taiwan Dollars, but at Dublin Zoo you’d basically need to add a zero — about 1,600 New Taiwan Dollars. Of course, this is also due to the higher income levels there.
