recreational area, in 1911 on the slopes of Cavehill.

giraffe births in the space of 12 years.
Belfast Zoo logo Belfast Zoo is one of the top attractions in Northern
Ireland, receiving more than 295,000 visitors a year.
Located in north Belfast, the zoo's 55 acre site is home to more than
1,200 animals and 140 species.
Belfast Zoo provides a reasonably wide variety of animals in spacious
enclosures (mostly) as well as an impressive hike up a steep hill. At
the top of the hill, is the Rainforest cafe (over-priced) and the
warthog enclosure!! It is quite funny actually.
Belfast Zoo is one of the three big zoological attarctions in Ireland

A Zoology garden, abbreviated to zoo, is an institution in which

is good there are play areas for kids whilst grown ups can relax by
the duck pond.
