FOTA WILDLIFE PARK - 6KM

Fota Wildlife Park, part of the Zoological Society of Ireland, is located on 100 acres at Fota Island, just 10km east of Cork City. It is one of Ireland’s most popular wildlife attractions, welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

The park’s vision is to inspire people to understand and conserve the biodiversity of our natural world. With a strong focus on conservation, education, research and visitor experience, Fota Wildlife Park plays an important role in raising awareness of the challenges facing plant and animal habitats and the ongoing loss of global biodiversity.

Over the years, the park has made significant investment in expanding and enhancing its habitats, including the development of its Asian Sanctuary, which features species such as Sumatran tigers, Indian rhinos and Asiatic lions.

Located just a short drive from the hotel, Fota Wildlife Park offers a memorable day out for visitors of all ages. Rochestown Park Hotel works closely with Fota Wildlife Park to offer great value all-inclusive family packages.
