Stargazing at Dublin Zoo

What to expect

  • Date and time: Saturday October 3rd , 6.00pm-9.00pm
  • Family Friendly: under 16s must be accompanied by an adult

Look up and discover the wonders of the night sky at Dublin Zoo this World Space Week.

Join us for an evening of space, science and stargazing, featuring an inspiring line-up of speakers, celestial explorers and expert stargazers.

We’ll be joined by Dr Niamh Shaw, space communicator, explorer and author of Dream Big, who has spent years pursuing her own dream of going to space. From living on rationed water during a Mars simulation to tracking penguins in Antarctica and coming face-to-face with a hungry polar bear in the Arctic, Niamh’s adventures have taken her to some of the most extreme places on Earth.

Hear Niamh share her passion for exploration and space before warming up with a hot drink and enjoying some fascinating conservation chats.

Then, as darkness falls, the Irish Astronomical Society will take us on an adventure across the galaxy, with the chance to explore the night sky through telescopes against the unique backdrop of Dublin Zoo.

*Please note that the ticket is for the event only and does not include access to Dublin Zoo.
