Dublin Zoo (Irish: Zú Bhaile Átha Cliath[3][4]), in Phoenix Park, is a zoo in Dublin, Ireland, and one of Dublin's most popular attractions. Established and designed in 1830 by Decimus Burton, it opened the following year.[5][6] Today it focuses on conservation projects, breeding programmes, and growing awareness for animals.[7] Its stated mission is to "work in partnership with zoos worldwide to make a significant contribution to the conservation of the endangered species on Earth".
Covering over 28 hectares (69 acres)[1] of Phoenix Park, the zoo is divided into habitats including the Himalayan Hills, Wolves in the Woods, the African Savanna, Kaziranga Forest Trail, South American House, Zoorassic World, Gorilla Rainforest, Orangutan Forest, Sea Lion Cove, and Family Farm (as of July 2022).[8] Overall the zoo houses about 400 animals across 100 species and attracts over one million visitors each year.[9][10]
