With the onset of a global pandemic, online tours and events (“virtual vacations”) became a way for parents to give their kids a cultural, and educational experience without having to leave home. While they certainly didn’t take the place of a real camp, they have helped fill in the gaps that the health guidelines created over the last couple of years.
Even as the world opens up, some virtual vacations might be just the thing to cure the dog days of summer. You get to visit places you might never be able to in person, and spend an hour or two soaking up some culture and a little education.
I have personally checked out various museums, zoos, and aquariums, and ranked their tours and online offerings. I rated these virtual vacations (on a scale of 1 to 5 of iconic items from that location) on content, navigation of the experience, and overall fun factor.
In Part One, I explored the art world, organized crime and law enforcement, and musical instruments.
