St Patrick's Day is only a few days away - and when you're making plans, Dublin Zoo may not be the first thing to come to mind.
But they have plenty to offer over the weekend this year. According to legend and Irish folklore, St Patrick is known for driving all the snakes out of Ireland in the fifth century, and since since we have celebrated our patron saint of the anniversary of his death on March 17.
Although there is the annual St. Patrick's Day parade taking place in the city centre as well as local parades on across the county, taking a trip to Dublin Zoo could be a nice alternative to the crowds at these parades.
