Zoo At Home

School is out and Summer is here. That also means - for many states - that the heat is on! While it seems getting outdoors and doing things away from home is appropriate, some days are just too hot. That doesn't mean you can't have the same kind of fun at home. Welcome to the world of zoo cams!

There are TONS of animal attractions that offer web cam views of their animals. You could take a tour of zoos across the world from the comfort of your own home! You could get really creative by using play money for admission as well as having a picnic outdoors and put on your tour guide hat while you offer your kids a tour of the virtual zoo in your home.
