I really miss going out with the kids and taking them to the zoo, park, exhibits, just anywhere besides our house. Aliana will ask if we can go see animals and I hate telling her that we can’t go right now. She can’t understand what is going on in the world and why we have to stay at home as much as possible. A friend of mine told me about virtual field trips. I told her that was genius! I started to look into more of virtual tours and found some really great ones to share with all of you. If you can’t make it out of the house or you are just not near any of these locations, you can still show your kids how cool these places are. Below is a list of virtual trips to the zoo, national parks, space museums, and even a field trips to Mars, there are an amazing amount of online field trips you can take your family on right from home!
