With the scorching days of summer in full swing, here’s a list of the 10 summer activities to keep your kids active outdoors.

1. Visit the local zoo

The local zoo is definitely a fun-filled day out for children. Not only is this place fun and enjoyable, it is also educational. Kids can see up close and personal the wild creatures that they often see only on TV or in books. They also learn more about the animals’ behavior and the zoo caretakers will be more than happy to answer your kids’ questions about the animals. Walking around the zoo is another good way to exercise.
