Visit the Zoo and the Aquarium from Your Home!

These days, all families are facing a new challenge. Daily activities, both for adults and children, have changed. Everyday trips to work, kindergarten/school, playgrounds, or friends' houses will be put on hold for a while. Part of the time, once you finish your tasks, whether it's working from home or online school, should be spent in a meaningful way. Instead of watching series or playing games on your phone, we suggest that you spend quality time with your family in a fantastic way - visit an aquarium or zoo from your living room!

Zoo parks and aquariums around the world are temporarily closed in an effort to limit the spread of the Covid-19 virus. However, that doesn't mean your family can't enjoy penguins, pandas, or fish. Many zoo parks and aquariums offer online visits to their residents. Below are some suggestions for "visiting" zoos and aquariums.

Monterey Bay Aquarium in California presents you with mesmerizing marine life. This non-profit organization, located on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, features a three-story kelp forest, a million-gallon open sea exhibit, otter habitats, and many tanks. It is one of the most visited aquariums in America.

Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta is the largest aquarium in America and has numerous exhibits showcasing different species of fish and animals. The aquarium also features an Indo-Pacific reef where diving shows take place at 10:30 am and 3:00 pm. This aquarium is widely known for its African penguins.

The world-renowned Pacific Aquarium, based in Long Beach, California, offers seven different live streams. Each year, this aquarium attracts over 1.7 million visitors from around the world. In addition to exhibits, the aquarium provides educational programs for all ages, ranging from hands-on activities to lectures by leading scientists. Through these programs, you have the opportunity to learn more about our planet in a unique way. The aquarium is also known for its penguins.

Seattle Aquarium features two live streams. It is famous for its sea otters, which you can watch live. Additionally, their channel offers a wealth of footage from various aquariums and sea otter training sessions. They are most renowned for their adorable videos featuring a rescued sea otter named Rialto.

San Diego Zoo is one of the best and most famous zoos in the world, and their live streaming shows you just that. From the comfort of your home, you can observe what baboons, everyone's favorite pandas, or penguins are up to these days.

Smithsonian National Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in the United States. They have set up cameras throughout the zoo, allowing you to watch live feeds of lions, elephants, zebras, marine life, and more. The choice is yours.

And finally, after a few days of isolation, you will realize that good organization is crucial for the family to have a quality day. The situation we are facing is new, extremely difficult, and unpleasant. We have control in some aspects, and in some, we don't. Adapt the quarantine to yourself and your children, be responsible, but don't forget to have fun!
