Mission
Lehigh Valley Zoo’s mission is to create a safe, engaging and enlightening wildlife experience for guests of all ages as it demonstrates leadership in the cultural, scientific and conservation communities.
About Us
Located in Schnecksville, Pa., within the scenic 1,100-acre Trexler Nature Preserve, Lehigh Valley Zoo is home to more than 200 animals representing 70 species – from African Penguins to Zebras. The Zoo hosts more than 95,000 guests annually and offers hundreds of educational programs, camps for all ages and family-friendly events, making it one of the most vibrant educational and cultural institutions in the Greater Lehigh Valley region. Open to the public year-round, the Zoo is operated by the Lehigh Valley Zoological Society, a private nonprofit organization.

Accreditation
In 2006, Lehigh Valley Zoo was accredited by the prestigious Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the international organization that sets the highest standards for zoos. This accreditation places Lehigh Valley Zoo in the top 10 percent of animal attractions in North America and indicates the Zoo’s commitment to education, conservation and top-quality animal care.
Species Survival Plan Participation
The mission of the Species Survival Plan (SSP) program is to help ensure the survival of select wildlife species and to provide a link between zoo animals and the conservation of their wild counterparts. Lehigh Valley Zoo currently participates in three SSP programs: African Penguin, Mongoose Lemur and Scimitar-Horned Oryx.
