SERVICE ANIMALS
The Lehigh Valley Zoo welcomes zoo guests with service animals under the guidelines set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA). A service animal (usually a dog) is individually trained to perform specific tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability.
Upon arrival, notify the gate staff you are accompanied by a service animal. A manager in charge will be called to clear the service animal to enter the zoo and notify all staff of its presence.
SENSORY INCLUSION
The Lehigh Valley Zoo is Sensory Inclusive Certified through KultureCity. This gives our staff the tools to better assist guests with sensory needs. Through this certification, we provide guests with the availability to sign out and use Sensory Bags.
Upon arrival, visit the main office in the administrative building to sign out your sensory bag.
