We may be stuck indoors for the time being but that doesn't mean we can't broaden our horizons beyond our living room walls, because let's face it, there's only so many thousand-piece jigsaws you can do, and Netflix series you can watch. While we aren’t able to physically travel the globe at the moment, there are ways to do it virtually – and for free.
Disney parks
Perhaps you've been watching the new Disney+ streaming service (see how to get a seven-day free trial) and you're wishing upon a star that you could be at Disney World – well you can, sort of. No, I'm not taking the Mickey – with a bit of Disney magic (and a lot of Google Streetview) you can explore Disney World in Florida, and more of its parks elsewhere. A fun thing to do with the kids could be to have a 'walk' around the park and see if you can spot Mickey, Donald, Goofy and the gang.
Go on a wild ride
Psst... I know what you're thinking... 'I really wish I could go on the rides!'. Check out the unofficial Virtual Disney World YouTube channel where you can experience lots of popular rides including Frozen Ever After, Slinky Dog Dash and Splash Mountain in first-person point of view.
SeaWorld Orlando
You start off high in the sky with an aerial view of the park before diving into some of the attractions below. Grab a sick bag as there are two rollercoasters that you can 'ride' in first-person point of view. You'll have a whale of a time.
