CAA
Become a part of the campaign to improve your community zoo!
In mid-2025 a major renovation to the lower part of Lehigh Valley Zoo, where the barnyard animals reside, began. An expected Grand Opening is planned for 2027/2028. As the Zoo works to improve its facility, it is constantly looking for ways to not only enhance animal habitats and how our residents are cared for, but ways to engage guests and create memorable experiences that inspire action for wildlife.
What's next
CAA Phase 2
Children’s Activity Area development is moving into Phase 2—breaking ground in 2026 as the next chapter takes shape.

One of the best ways for children to learn is through play. Situated between Preston’s Place (the existing nature play area) and the barnyard, the St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital Playground, with exciting new equipment, has a focus on accessibility for children of all abilities to be active while their caretakers take a rest.
The Fred & Anne Jaindl Family Barnyard is open year-round! Guests can walk through the barn and see the animal “bedrooms” as well as participate in brushing or feeding those animals that wish to participate
