DUBLIN ZOO SAID this year has been a record year for them in terms of footfall, announcing today that they welcomed their one millionth visitor to the zoo this year.
Visitors
Julie O’Mahony, a mother from Delgany, Co Wicklow was named the one millionth visitor when she and her family arrived at the Zoo for a midterm treat today.
So why this year?
The zoo said that there are a number of factors that are contributing to high visitor numbers, such as the new arrivals including two Asian lion cubs, a Rothschild giraffe calf, a Goeldi’s monkey and Meerkat pups.
Dublin Zoo also welcomed three Asian elephant calves during the summer months.
Leo Oosterweghel, director at Dublin Zoo said:
The recent baby boom has helped to attract visitors, with new births in the past few months including a Rothschild giraffe, a Goeldi’s monkey and Asian lion cubs. The arrival of three Asian elephant calves was the pinnacle.
