Founded in 1830 Dublin Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in the world.  Dublin's animal house is now home to over 650 species, including endangered the snow leopard. In terms of layout it is the essence of a modern, eco-conscious facility, with tigers, elephants, chimps and hundreds more given all the time and space they need to feel right at home. The zoo is also run with children very much in mind, as evidenced by the Pets' Corner, the Zoo Train, and the ample picnic facilities and play areas. Far from miniature in scale: the impressive Asian Plains, for example, is a 32-acres expanse of pasture and woodland, home to some splendid white rhinos and the ever-expanding family of elephants.
