Sloth Encounter Offers Close-Up Wildlife Experience at the Zoo
A unique animal experience is giving visitors the chance to meet two-toed sloths up close in a carefully supervised and educational setting. The Sloth Encounter allows guests to observe the slow-moving animals as they hang, rest, and gently interact with their surroundings.
During the 15-minute session, participants can feed the sloths and learn about their behavior, diet, and daily habits. The encounter highlights the calm and curious nature of these animals while offering insight into their specialized care and conservation needs.
The experience is designed to be both engaging and informative, giving visitors a rare opportunity to connect with wildlife in a controlled environment. Guests are also encouraged to take photos, capturing memorable moments with the sloths during the interaction.
The activity is suitable for all ages, though children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by a paying adult. Zoo admission is required separately, and the encounter is managed to ensure the comfort and wellbeing of the animals throughout each session.

Customer Reviews
Amazing light show. It is way better than Malahide castle for kids. I loved that the music wasn't too loud, there was nice food and drinks choice and it did not feel overcrowded. This year it was even better the the last one.
We had a wonderful time at Dublin Zoo — truly one of the best family experiences in the city! The zoo is beautifully laid out, spacious, and easy to explore. What really stood out was the incredible variety of animals you rarely see elsewhere: Okapis, Asian wolves, snow leopards, and majestic gorillas. Each enclosure feels thoughtfully designed, offering great visibility for visitors of all ages — even the little ones can see everything easily. There are lovely picnic areas, plenty of benches, and a good mix of food stands if you prefer a snack on the go. The children’s playgrounds — both outdoor and covered — are fantastic for a little break between exhibits. We also loved the dinosaur section, which adds a fun and educational twist to the visit. Tickets cost around €22–25 per person, and you’ll want to allow at least 2–3 hours to fully enjoy the zoo without rushing. A perfect day out for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking to spend a relaxed, inspiring afternoon surrounded by nature and wildlife!
One of my favorite zoo's that I have visited. I went on a monday so it was not too busy. I bought tickets in advance and there was no line to get in. They have a great collection of animals and even some species I had not seen before such as the Chinese Dhole and the Aye-aye. All the enclosures are very natural and spacious. Signing has lots of information and I believe there even is an audio tour. Since I went on a monday there were no scheduled animal talks but there were a few volunteers that walked around and they told us plenty about the animals. There were a few food options but not everything was open. Beware of the many seagulls when you have a meal ;) Something they can improve on was the cleanliness of the toilets. The ones I used were often broken and/or dirty. Overall I had a wonderful day and I will absolutely come back for another visit.
