Virtual Field Trips for Kids: Worldwide Wonders © (Getty Images) A mom and her son and daughter look at a laptop screen in their home Field trips, the highlight of school days for many elementary-age children, were stifled during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, so parents like Jacqueline Davis of Westlake, Ohio, sought out alternatives. She found one on Facebook: virtual meetups with animal caretakers at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, which showed her sons Aston, 7, and Luke, 4, fun facts like how a zookeeper cuts elephants toenails and gives the two-ton pachyderms a bath.
