One of the largest recreational parks in Europe . So worth a visit.. Beautiful walks, Flowered gardens , Trees in abundance, Herds of Deer , Dublin Zoo , Áras an Uachtaráin and so much more....

Stephen D

Huge park with several attractions worth seeing including Dublin Zoo , Farmleigh house. Herd of deer roams the park and can usually be found near the Papal Cross .

Anissa

To quickly get around, rent a bike from Phoenix Park bikes near the entrance! just €5 an hour or €10 for the day (tandem and kids bikes available too!) Go in the morning to spot the deer!

Will St Martin

The biggest enclosed park in Europe ! There's plenty to do in here, from a Sunday walk around the gardens to the zoo . There are a few monuments like the Wellington obelisk, the papal cross , etc...

Gary Walsh

It's great for a walk or a picnic or a cycle . You can rent bikes beside the Conyngham st entrance. The Zoo is also in the park as well as the presidents residence.

EDR

The biggest park in Europe . Here you'll find 3 cafes , a zoo , the house of the IE president and the american embassy. It houses gigs and festivals and hosts dogs, horses and Bamby's, in military road .

Ashley Spears

make sure to rent a bicycle at the opening of the park for the best, and quickest way to see the majority of the grounds. So cool to see deer grazing on the 15 acre part of the park .

Adriano

Amazing place! If you are trying to find the deers, don't forget to look at the fields around the big cross (the one built after the visit of the pope). The "Tea Rooms " is also an amazing place.

Evaldaz™

The best venue for jogging and walking in Dublin.. As I know it's the biggest Europe's park located in the city . Oh yeah - there are a lot of deers in the park ! I love it!

Michael Arkins

Phoenix Park is a total escape from the grind of city life. huge open spaces with excellent amenities and views . Definitely worth a few hours visit on a good day!

Liam O Hannrachain

A stunning park in the city . Best thing to do is rent a Dublin Bike (stations all over the city ) and explore the park . Tip: please don't feed the deer, they are wild animals.

Great place for a cycle in the park . But the visitors centre cafe does get extremely busy on the weekends. So best to bring your own food.
