TROPICAL World is an extraordinary mini zoo where nature’s wonders come to life. Located beside Donegal’s premier garden centre, Alcorns, and the delightful Thyme Out café tearooms, Tropical World offers an immersive experience for visitors of all ages.
Step into a world of winged, furry and many-legged creatures and indulge your senses in a vibrant and lush environment. Encounter tropical butterflies flitting among colorful plants and jungle foliage, or dare to touch a snake or bearded dragon. Marvel at the sight of Guinness and Bailey, a pair of Toco Toucans inspired by the famous Guinness sign, who are quickly becoming star attractions. Enjoy the antics of Lilo and Stitch, a pair of Moluccan cockatoos known for their comedic calls and playful behavior.
The fun doesn’t stop with the birds! Their original cast of furry fellows, including meerkats, lemurs, and spider monkeys, are always ready to interact and entertain visitors. These energetic critters promise a delightful experience for kids and adults alike.
Tropical World remains a vibrant attraction throughout the winter months. During this time, their dedicated staff work tirelessly to revitalise habitats, add bright new signage, and revamp the monkey swing play park and jungle habitat. They also ensure that all their animals are well-fed and cozy during the colder months. Their recent addition, a covered walkway, now links the Hazelhill habitat area with the scenic hilltop section, making your visit more comfortable and enjoyable regardless of the weather.
Celebrating its 13th year, Tropical World stands out as a special family destination along the shores of Lough Swilly. After exploring the wonders of their mini zoo, visit Alcorns Garden Centre for a wide range of plants and gardening supplies, and unwind at the famous Thyme Out café tearooms, where you can enjoy delicious refreshments.
Experience the best of nature and create unforgettable memories at Donegal’s Tropical World. Whether you’re marveling at exotic birds, interacting with playful monkeys, or simply enjoying the serene beauty of our gardens, there’s something for everyone at the mini zoo.
Bring your family and friends for a day filled with adventure, laughter, and the enchanting beauty of nature at Tropical World. They can’t wait to welcome you!
