This summer, families staying at Carlton Hotel Blanchardstown can enjoy one of Dublin's most exciting days out yet at Dublin Zoo, where imagination and wildlife come together in a brand-new attraction – Animal Bricktacular.
Perfect for our Little Adventurers, this limited-time experience transforms Dublin Zoo into a brick-built safari trail filled with discovery, creativity and unforgettable family moments.
A New Way to Experience Dublin Zoo
Already home to over 400 incredible animals from around the world, Dublin Zoo has introduced something completely new for summer visitors – Animal Bricktacular, an immersive exhibition featuring more than 40 life-sized animal sculptures made from millions of colourful bricks.
As families explore the zoo's beautiful habitats, they can follow a fun brick-themed trail that brings a playful twist to the traditional zoo visit. It's a unique blend of real wildlife encounters and imaginative storytelling that keeps children engaged from start to finish.
Meet the Brick Safari: Life-Sized Animal Sculptures
From towering giraffes and mighty elephants to lions, gorillas and playful apes, the brick-built animals are scattered throughout the zoo, creating exciting photo opportunities and interactive moments along the way.
Children can try to match the brick sculptures with the real animals they meet in their habitats – turning the entire visit into a fun, educational adventure.
With interactive displays, wildlife facts and plenty of hands-on discovery, it's a day out designed to spark curiosity in visitors of all ages.

Of course, the real stars of the show remain Dublin Zoo's incredible animals and world-class habitats. From the African Savanna to the Rainforest House, families can explore immersive environments designed to reflect nature at its best.
