Is Dublin Zoo worth it with kids?

Worth itWith kids

With kids, Dublin Zoo works.

A well-maintained, spacious zoo with genuinely impressive large-mammal habitats that easily fills a family day out. The honest catch: it's pricey for a family, and as with any zoo, some visitors are uneasy about captive-animal ethics; adults without kids may find little reason to go.
