Not only are visitors to Tayto Park, Irelands only theme park and zoo enjoying the sun, the resident animals at the Tayto Park Zoo are lapping up the warm weather too. This morning, animals at Tayto Park enjoyed cool down treats of frozen fresh fruit and fruit skewers which are a favourite among the parks animals. Fruits are a great way for animals to absorb extra water and keep them hydrated during this warm spell of weather.

Tayto Park, offers an exceptional and diverse animal collection which features many conservation dependent species including primates, carnivores and vultures to name a few.
