Join us for a truly unforgettable dining experience after-hours at Lehigh Valley Zoo.
These exclusive events are perfect for couples looking for a truly one-of-a-kind date night, or friends looking for a great night out! The highlight of the evening is the chance to interact from our caretakers during a 30-minute mingle that features two of our unique ambassador animals — one fan-favorite (two-toed sloth, African penguin, Eurasian eagle owl, North American porcupine, striped skunk, West African crowned crane) and one friend (three-banded armadillo, Argentine black and white tegu, blue-tongued skink, Lesser Madagascar hedgehog tenrec).
You’ll learn all about these fascinating animals and have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. Then enjoy a delicious dinner featuring appetizers, an entrée, dessert, and wine sampling provided by various local wineries.
Spots for this event are limited, so don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity for a date night with the animals. Book your spot now for a night that you’ll never forget!
All guests must be age 18 or older.

Purchase Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee any specific activities due to the needs of our animals and the variability of their behavior. Our educators are experts in determining what is appropriate and doable based off the animal’s behavior that day. If the animal will not be available for your dinner, we will make every effort to provide another animal for a mingle and notify you.
If for unforeseen circumstances the Lehigh Valley Zoo is unable to provide this program on the scheduled date, every attempt will be made to reschedule the program for a future date. If an agreeable date is not available, we will provide a full refund or a Lehigh Valley Zoo gift card. Sorry, the zoo will not issue refunds for program reservations if they are cancelled by the guest.
