Adventure with us as we explore our planet’s diverse wildlife from our homes. While we keep dreaming about the days we’ll be able to view amazing wildlife in person, we can at least satisfy a tiny piece of curiosity and keep our wanderlust alive!
I’ve sectioned this post out into two main categories – Aquariums & Zoos and Armchair Safari and Beyond. The live web-cams in both sections are super interesting! Both have lots of great learning tools too. Hope you enjoy!
Aquariums & Zoos
This is a great platform for kids (or adults!) wanting to learn more about tidepools, or the roles of various marine scientists. These tools are listed for PreK-6, but honestly, I thoroughly enjoyed taking a peek myself!
They are offering a great online platform for learning at home. From live web cams (which are so fun to watch – their animals are quite the entertainers!) to virtual field trips, they bring you a unique visit to the zoo straight to your home.
Live Web Cams at the San Diego zoo are super fun!
Kid’s resources – your kids will love exploring here!
Their “Virtual Visits” are a great opportunity to spend the day checking out their array of sea life and learn about the animals. Plus there are loads of interactive activities (like how to track sharks) to keep boredom at bay.
Armchair Safaris & Beyond
While we’re all at home dreaming about future travel, I decided to start planning an African adventure for our family and absolutely cannot wait to go. If going on safari is on your bucket list, here are some incredibly dreamy resources for you to dive into and explore, while we all dream about our next big adventure.
