This weekend, Dublin Zoo invites you to come and celebrate Orang utan Awareness Week with the Zoo’s very own red haired family, the orang utans.
For one weekend only, the Zoo is offering free entry to all red haired children* and any child who arrives at the Zoo dressed as an orang utan** to drive awareness surrounding the endangered orang utans in the wild.
Dublin Zoo will be hosting an abundance of events and activities to help visitors learn more about orang utans and have fun while they’re at it.
Keepers will be on hand at the orang utan habitat from 11am until 3pm on Saturday and Sunday to answer any questions visitors have about the orang utan group in Dublin Zoo and the species in the wild. There will be enrichment demonstrations, arts & crafts, face-painting, keeper talks and much more on offer.
Activities in the Zoo this Weekend
• Enrichment demonstrations ***
• Orang utan Keeper Talks
• Face-painting
• Childrens Quiz

*The Zoo welcomes any type of red haired child under 16 years of age for free to the Zoo this weekend.
** Orang utan fancy dress can include anything from an orang utan suit, a red haired wig or red/orange item of clothing such as jumper, trousers or coat. All you need to do is make an effort on the day!
