As the father of a small boy, who loves all living things, I’ve been to many a farm park, safari centre and bird sanctuary. But the pinnacle for a small child with an animal obsession is always a zoo. Fortunately, Dublin has a brilliant and very historic one!
If I were to ask you to name a colour with which Dublin is inextricably linked, some people would say it was green. They’d be forgiven for thinking ‘green of Ireland’, the ‘green of the Emerald Isle’. Those in the know, however, give a different answer - it’s black, the black of Guinness!
In the marketing blurb for this attraction it claims to be ‘an exceptionally original visitor attraction’. Now I think they know, and we know, and a certain French woman whose surname was Tussaud definitely also knows that statement might be stretching the truth a little. But ignoring the originality argument, this still provides a great family afternoon out.
