Zoo Visit!

This week we would have been going on our trip to the zoo with you - and we are gutted that we can't experience it together in person this year. 

 

We'd like to invite you to take a trip to the zoo from the comfort of your own home! It won't be the same as walking up the steep paths of Cave Hill, laughing at the chimpanzees, holding our noses by the elephants or mimicking the sounds of the sea lions - but we can still have a lot of fun!

 

Let us know which animal is your favourite and why! You'll find Mrs McVittie sneaking a penguin into her rucksack...

  • Belfast Zoo The keepers at Belfast Zoo are continuing to care for the animals and are uploading videos on their Facebook page!
  • Chester Zoo Chester Zoo have lots of talks from their keeper at their "virtual zoo days"! Pick your favourite and find out some facts!
  • Cincinnati Zoo Every day at 7pm you can go on a virtual safari on their Facebook page. It is also available on their Youtube Channel the next day.
  • San Diego Zoo Tune into their live cams to see what their animals are up to at all times of the day!
