Dublin Zoo

This may be Ireland’s largest zoo but it’s not the best. When we visited there was only one elephant in its enclosure and it seemed sad. Annoyingly, there were solid fences around most of the enclosures which blocked the view of the animals, with an occasional glass panel, which were then blocked by people. The rhinos were the best thing. There were 5 of them just lying on the ground although they didn’t seem to have access to any water. Accessibility wise though, it was great. There’s a great changing places toilet, if a bit annoyingly located, you need to ask for the code when you buy your ticket, to stop just anyone using it.

We were just in time for the sea lion feeding which was great to see, and also got very close the giraffes and the silverback gorilla. I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity of accessible toilets and I didn't find anything that I couldn't get to or enjoy.
