A business partnership with Lehigh Valley Zoo is an outstanding opportunity to promote your business while supporting one of the community’s leaders in wildlife conservation, environmental education, and family recreation.
Lehigh Valley Zoo’s core purpose – to save species from extinction – inspires our work, our conservation education programs, and our leadership in wildlife conservation. Lehigh Valley Zoo is audited and meets the rigorous accreditation standards of the prestigious Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) which indicates the Zoo’s commitment to education, conservation and top-quality animal care. With more than 220 accredited members, representing the top ten percent of zoos and aquariums in North America, the AZA is a leader in global wildlife conservation, and a link to helping animals in their native habitats. Collectively, AZA zoos and aquariums represent the finest institutions and are visited by more than 130 million people each year. (That’s more people than attended professional baseball, basketball, football and hockey combined.) Last year, during 2011, Lehigh Valley Zoo’s attendance was over 100,000 guests and over 30,000 people participated in the Zoo’s formal conservation education programs. In 2009, 2010 and 2011 the Zoo was voted Best Family Day Trip in The Morning Call’s Readers’ Choice Awards.
Events and engaging conservation activities provide Zoo members and guests great reasons to keep coming back to the Zoo and to enjoy the great outdoors each and every season.
