Fota Wildlife Park
FOTA Wildlife Park is not like an ordinary zoo. Wherever possible we have chosen animals that thrive in a free-range environment, which allows them to roam free, while mixed with other species and with us human visitors! These species are also able to adjust to the Irish Climate. The animals themselves make the choice of seeking shelter when necessary.
There’s the opportunity to walk amongst some animals – the small ones! – which is nice. A family ticket – 2 adults and 2 children - is €54.00 which is a bit pricey but the fact that your money is supporting the good work at the park, it’s well worth it. A lovely walk with large open areas which takes in all the various sections and the opportunity to see giraffes, zebra, ostriches and even buffalo up close. A coffee shop is located about half way through the there's also a small playground which is good fun for the kids. It’s definitely worth a visit. We enjoyed it immensely!
