'Fota Wildlife Park is set on 70 acres on the scenic Fota Island in the heart of Cork Harbour, less than 10 minutes from Cobh. The Park is a unique place where you can come face to face with free roaming animals & birds from all parts of the World. So whether it's a Kangaroo that hops in front of you or a Ring Tailed Lemur which jumps down from a tree, each visit is sure to bring its own fantastic memories.
In addition to the wonderful array of free roaming animals, visitors also have the opportunity to see highly endangered species such as the Rothschild Giraffe, European Bison, Lion Tailed Macaque and Scimitar Horned Oryx, most of them without the obstacle of fenced-in exhibits. This is the most spectacular aspect of Fota Wildlife Park, and is the reason you'll want to spend a full day exploring Ireland's Wildest Attraction.'
One of Fota's favourite attractions is the Cheetah run. Cheetah runs exist in very few Parks or Zoos worldwide and its great to be able to see Cheetah's up so close and personal. This is one of the unique aspects of a visit to Fota and is one of the reasons the Park is so popular.
So if you fancy a visit to Fota this summer why not stay in Cobh! We're just 10 minutes away by car on another of Cork Harbour's islands....the Great Island! However, why go by car when you can go by train. Again Fota is only about 10 minutes away by train. Its the 3rd stop on the Cobh to Cork train (....some would say the Cobh to Dublin train). The train railway track hugs the shoreline of Great Island and then crosses by causeway and bridge to Fota Island. On your journey you're treated to some magnificent views of Cork Harbour - one of the World's largest natural harbours!
We're offering special packages for Summer stays in Cobh. While staying at the Commodore Hotel we can offer you discounted vouchers for visits to Fota Wildlife Park. For more details have a look at our Special Offers.
