Woodland Park Zoo is offering online activities for kids each week

Forget about field trips and turn your living room into an African savanna, subarctic tundra, or even a tropical rain forest with Woodland Park Zoo’s “Zoo to You.”

Each week, the zoo will be launching new activities for animal lovers of all ages.

The activities feature lessons and nature learning for children ages 8 and under.
