Best Outdoor Activities in Bray

"Located near the Parkgate street entrance to the Phoenix Park, Dublin Zoo is one of the fun days out in Dublin you should consider putting on your itinerary. Opened in the first half of the 1800’s, Dublin Zoo has undergone a huge transformation within my own lifetime. I remember visiting it as a child and enjoying it, but it’s gotten better with expansion and the introduction of the African Plains area."

"The beauty of the zoo is you can do it all in your own time - whether you've only got three hours to spend there, or you intend on being there all day. There's so much to see, and arriving early means you can check the feeding times for certain animals and pop back when they're on. The African Plains are a great addition to the zoo, and seeing the animals up close is really exciting for the kids."

"Dublin Zoo is an amazing 60 acres of park in the city transports families to the Arctic, the plains of Africa and Indian Rainforests before kids visit Pets’ Corner and the City Farm. Visit the website for details of opening hours, admission prices and family packages."

"A little trip away from Dublin City Centre, it’s the perfect romantic location for beach strolls or some sunset portraits. It has the tall grass, sea air and the iconic Poolbeg Towers as the quintessentially-Dublin backdrop!. A great spot for an engagement session, an elopement or a lovely portrait spot on a wedding day if you’re driving in from the south side."

"This is the perfect place to go to if you want to capture water and nature. Moreover, going to this beach is a very fun thing to do when you're in Dublin. So it's not only great for photography, but you'll also have an amazing day if you go here."

"Their idea is simple - super fresh seafood in a relaxed atmosphere where you can try some deadly seafood dishes. Klaw’s Oysters, from Galway Bay, Waterford, Dooncastle and the Flaggy Shore, are served three ways: naked, dressed or torched. https://www.instagram.com/p/BT8ur_CAIQ-/"

"Klaw is a small seafood bar and restaurant in the centre of Dublin’s Temple Bar area. It is run by people who are passionate about their food and cooking. As they say themselves: “The idea is simple, super fresh seafood in a relaxed atmosphere”."

"Hoping to bring 'crab shack dining' to the heart of Temple Bar, this unique restaurant promises everything from crab mac 'n' cheese to lobster rolls in an intimate and slim space (trust us, it's teeny)."
