Anne Frank Museum
When you’re feeling a bit cramped, spare a thought for Anne Frank and her family, who survived for more than two years hiding from the Nazis in a 42 square metre secret annexe during World War 2. A virtual visit to The Anne Frank museum allows you to fully understand the conditions in which she lived. The official Anne Frank House museum teamed with game developer Force Field VR to re-create the confined quarters inside an old Amsterdam office building. It’s an eye-opening visual account of where the teen and her family lived from July 6, 1942 until their capture by the Nazis on August 4, 1944.
Disney World
For light relief – and sheer escapism, take a VR tour of Walt Disney’s world, including the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Epcot. Your youngster will also be impressed with the Virtual Disney World YouTube channel.

Fans of Frozen 2 will be delighted.
