The new Children’s Activity Area at Lehigh Valley Zoo is designed to transform a zoo visit into hours of discovery for families across the region. As the zoo continues enhancing its footprint, it remains focused not only on advancing animal habitats and the care of the species that call the zoo home, but also on creating meaningful guest experiences that inspire a deeper connection to wildlife and conservation.

Centered around hands-on learning, meaningful animal encounters, and active play, the project will feature a new conservation education center, immersive classroom technology, barnyard experiences, nature-based play spaces, and family-friendly amenities that encourage guests to stay longer, explore deeper, and engage more fully with the natural world.

More than a new attraction, the Children’s Activity Area represents the next chapter in the Zoo’s 118-year commitment to conservation and education—creating a place where curiosity becomes understanding, memories become lasting connections, and experiences inspire action for wildlife.
