We woke up to another sunny day and, after breakfast, we headed out onto the LUAS which is the Dublin tram system and is conveniently located next to our hotel. The entire LUAS rolling stock consists of low floor vehicles allowing for level boarding. This makes it the perfect way for wheelchair users to navigate the city of Dublin…


It is worth noting that the area around Dublin Zoo coming from the train station isn’t particularly wheelchair friendly thus caution needs to be taken. Disabled individuals can enter for a concession with one FREE companion, in total it came to about €25 for three people. One then realised the scale of the zoo which spans around 69 acres and worked out that it was a pretty good deal for what we had paid. It must of taken us about 3 hours to walk around the zoo discovering animals like giraffes and elephants…



As you would expect from a major attraction in Ireland, Dublin Zoo is completely accessible thus making it a perfect day out for a wheelchair user. We then stopped for lunch after trying several places which only had outside seating which is a no go for me as there were pigeons or as I like to call them the DEVIL! We resorted to the restaurant and discovered that the zoo doesn’t stock straws because they pose a risk to animals, apparently it was a result of a monkey choking on one, seriously?
Tomorrow, we plan to wander to Croke Park Stadium, if we can find a way to get there that is!
