Keeping Kids Busy!

Here are a few more virtual tours of zoos and aquariums:

  • The Cincinnati Zoo: Check in around 3 p.m., because that's the time the Zoo holds a daily Home Safari on its Facebook Live Feed.

  • Atlanta Zoo: The Georgia zoo keeps a "Panda Cam" livestream on its website.

  • Georgia Aquarium: Sea-dwellers like African penguins and Beluga Whales are the stars of this aquarium's live cam.
