Head down to Dublin Zoo this Saturday or Sunday between 11-5

They’ll be swimming, paddling, playing with each other and generally having a good time. Zoo staff will be on hand to tell you all about how they’ll grow up. See you there!

They grow up so fast! Part 2

A year on from their birth, the elephant calves still amaze us everyday! Visit the Zoo and see how fast they have grown!
