• Animal Magic @ The Merrion Centre

  Wildlife and Exotic Animal Services recently appeared at the Merrion Centre, bringing their amazingly friendly creatures with them. Shoppers were so delighed with been able to feel a real life snake and see an actual Owl- it is fair to say that some were braver than others ( especially the youngsters). The event was such a hit at the Centre that Wildlife and Exotic Animal Services will now be appearing at the Merrion Centre on a monthly basis- next apperance at the Centre will be on Saturday 9th April.
