It might be harder than ever to plan a trip to the zoo in 2020, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to take a look at some of the best animal havens on Earth. In fact, you can even do so without leaving the comfort and safety of your own home!

Here are three American zoos which offer fantastic virtual visits.

Houston Zoo

The Houston Zoo has a wide variety of live cameras which you can use to see some of its favorite animals from 7 am to 7 pm Central Time. Giraffes, gorillas, flamingos, and more can be observed throughout the day for a fun at-home experience.

Cincinnati Zoo

Are you looking for a more comprehensive and immersive zoo experience at home? The Cincinnati Zoo offers a 3 pm Eastern Time virtual safari on its Facebook page, taking you around the zoo to its most interesting areas, including the habitat of its world-famous hippo Fiona!

San Diego Zoo

The world-renowned San Diego Zoo, like the Houston Zoo, has an array of cameras that can be viewed 24/7. The zoo offers up thirteen different cams offering a virtual peek at animals including tigers, koalas, and polar bears!
