You might find yourself unable to visit anywhere new or exciting during this period of isolation and you might find that all the events you were looking forward to have been cancelled or postponed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a trip to the zoo from your own home – all you need is the internet!

Many of the zoos across the UK have had to postpone or cancel the activities they had planned for the Easter holidays and similarly, they have had to close their gates temporarily to visitors, but you and the family can still spend some time visiting the animals as many of the country’s zoos have webcams and live streams that you can enjoy from home.

Here’s a list of a selection of UK zoos that offer web cams, see which ones have your favourite animals and watch away, or visit a new zoo every day!
