The Ultimate Dublin Zoo Family Adventure
A wild day out. A luxury night in.
Treat your kids to a city break they will never forget. Combine the magic of Ireland’s most popular family attraction with the comfort of a luxury stay at The Grafton Hotel.
As a top-rated family friendly hotel in Dublin City Centre, we offer the best of both worlds. You are just a short drive from the lions and elephants at Dublin Zoo, yet perfectly placed to explore the excitement of the city streets, museums, and parks right on our doorstep.
Your Family Base Camp in the City
We know that travelling with the whole family requires logistics. That is why we have designed our Dublin Zoo Hotel Package to take the stress out of your family break.
Located just a 15-minute drive (or taxi) from the zoo gates, we are the perfect starting point for your adventure. We handle the tickets and the breakfast, so you can focus on making memories.
Your "Wild" Package Includes:
- Tickets Included: A Family Pass to Dublin Zoo provided upon arrival, so you can skip the queues and head straight for the animals.
- Space to Relax: An overnight stay in our spacious, modern Family Rooms designed to fit the whole crew comfortably.
- Fuel for Adventure: A full Irish Buffet Breakfast for adults and children each morning to set you up for a busy day of exploring.
- Easy Parking: Enjoy discounted rates at the nearby Q-Park Christchurch, taking the hassle out of city parking.
- Evening Entertainment: Ultra-fast WiFi and Chromecast TVs in every room, perfect for casting a movie to wind down after a long day.
Big Beds & Bunk Beds for the Whole Family
Forget squeezing onto a fold-out sofa bed or tripping over suitcases. We designed our Family Rooms in Dublin City Centre to give everyone the space they actually need.
- The Cool Factor: The kids get their own set of bunk beds. It’s their own little fortress, making bedtime part of the fun instead of a chore.
- The Comfort Factor: You get a massive Super King bed. Just because you are on a family trip doesn’t mean you shouldn’t sleep in luxury.
- The Chill Factor: With Chromecast on the TV, you can stream their favourite cartoons or movies straight from your phone. It’s the perfect way to get some quiet time before lights out.
Family Hotel Near Dublin Zoo
Why choose between a zoo trip and a city break when you can have both?
While staying right next to the gates might seem convenient, the real fun happens in the city centre. As a family friendly hotel in Dublin City Centre, we place you in the heart of the action.
The fun doesn't have to stop when the zoo closes. After you’ve said goodbye to the animals, you are just a short drive back to the buzz of Dublin 2. Spend your evening strolling down Grafton Street for a treat, grabbing a gelato, or exploring St. Stephen's Green. With the Viking Splash Tour and the best family restaurants just footsteps away, you get a full city adventure, day and night.
