The 9 Best Things to do in Phoenix Park, Province of Leinster
You've probably heard that Guinness tastes better in Dublin (fresh from the factory), but what you may not know is that Dublin is a perfect destination for the whole family. No, we're not suggesting you let the kiddies drink a pint. Instead, take them to the Dublin Zoo, to feed the ducks in Stephen's Green or on a picnic in Phoenix Park. Scholars enjoy walking in the literary footsteps of such writers as Yeats and Joyce, while discerning shoppers have their pick of designer boutiques.

There are 8 miles of walls around this magnificent park and at 1750 acres is the largest park in the world. There are many things encompassed in this park. Dublin Zoo which was home to the MGM Lion at one time, Magazine Fort, President's House and the US Embassy. The USA was the first country to recognize Ireland so they got the pick of the litter as to where their embassy would be located in 1927. Inside the park is a Cross Monument where in 1979, Pope John Paul 2 preached to 1.2 million people. There are many large gardens of planted flowers throughout the park and many deer and other animals still run wild on its grounds.

Lovely pub with a long history. There is so much to see. Every time I go I see spot something interesting. Have only had lunch so not sure about the dinners. Love the lunch menu. Great service. Atmosphere is great. Very family friendly. Not overcrowded. Value for money. Parking right outside. It has been known for the occasional visits by former and current Presidents. Afterwards go and take a stroll around the Phoenix Park.
