The Best Zoo Live Streams and Aquarium Live Streams for Kids

We have put together a list of some of our favourite zoo and aquarium webcam streams from around the world that you can watch online for free with the kids.

From the beautiful panda at Edinburgh Zoo, watching the penguins set off on field trips at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago to the newly born lambs running around in Folly Farm in West Wales, these live streams have put smiles on our faces until we can visit them again in person in the near future.

Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium

With the aquarium closed due to the coronavirus outbreak, animals were given the chance to explore this huge building. One of our favourites when we visited last year were the penguins and it was so much fun to watch the live stream of their field trips especially watching Wellington, a rockhopper penguin walking around the aquarium and meeting the Beluga whales.

Houston Zoo

Watching the elephants having their early morning bath at the Elephant habitat was so memorable during our visit to Houston Zoo last year, so it’s great to be able to check-in on what’s going via their Elephant yard cam, which provides some entertaining footage.
