Tags: kid pals trip

Sometimes, kids have to play by themselves or with their family, especially when they can’t see their friends. Here at Pal’s, we get that playing the same games and doing the same activities over and over can get boring for kids– so we’re here to help! We’ve scoured the web and created this list of  fun, awesome, unique indoor kids and family activities to help combat boredom and stay entertained! Below you’ll find our top indoor suggestions for activities ranging from virtual field trips, to arts and crafts, to games, along with other fun ideas!

Go Wild (but stay inside)!
Instead of just hanging out around the house, why not have a virtual hangout with animals?

Virtually Visit the San Diego Zoo from your house! Explore and actually go inside exhibits like the penguins, baboons, koalas, pandas, giraffes, and tigers!

Go on a virtual African wildlife safari from your couch! This live-stream from Kenya shows animals like elephants, hippos, and other wildlife in their natural habitat!
