Our trips and tours might have been put on hold for now but there are plenty of places you can explore without stepping foot outside your front door. We’ve rounded up a list of virtual destinations to visit during isolation.

Disneyland

Disneyland is just one of the sites you can look forward to thanks to Google Street view. You can even take a virtual ride on the following rollercoasters via YouTube for the full theme-park experience:

• Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Ride
• Incredicoaster
• Splash Mountain
• Jurassic World
• Harry Potter: Hagrid’s Magical Creatures

Museums and Galleries

Museums across the world are opening their (virtual) doors to give you access to everything from art to ancient artefacts. These are just some of them:

• British Museum London
• National Gallery of Art, Washing D.C
• Van Gough Museum, Amsterdam
• Louvre, Paris

Zoos and Aquariums

If history isn’t your thing, you can watch some of your favourite animals in action from the comfort of your living room thanks to the following zoo webcams:

• Folly Farm
• Monterey Bay Aquarium
• Edinburgh Zoo Live Cam
• Dublin Zoo
• African Wildlife

Destinations around the world

Voyager on Google Earth allows you to explore attractions all over the world for free, from natural wonders to historic monuments.

RoundMe allows you to create and share your own 360º experiences for free, or explore on your own (phone recommended) no additional software or VR required.

 

For events and activities you can get involved in virtually at your Students’ Union. Check out our current events.
