“Went to see the Christmas light spectacular and it was so beautiful. Had to wait for parking but it was so worth it. We ordered our tickets online as recommended to do we took the 630 slop no line to scan our tickets. It was amazing will definitely be going back next year. Husband loved his spiked hot chocolate. So much for the kids to do and exhibits for the kids. We dont have any but all the kids there looked like they were having fun.”

“Went with my daughter and granddaughter for the Christmas lights Spectacular and we had a great time. The light displays were amazing and my granddaughter got a chance to see and talk to her 2 most liked princess's (Ariel and Ellsa) and she was star struck. I would definitely recommend that you come check it out....”

“This zoo has a special place in my heart! The entire staff is so wonderful and you can tell they love the animals. I highly recommend their animal encounters (feeding the giraffe, meet a penguin, etc.), it would be a dream come true for any animal-lover! I got to meet an African penguin and nearly passed out from the excitement! Their winter spectacular is also a must-visit experience. It is just such a gem and I’m so grateful to have this place in the Lehigh Valley! Very kid-friendly!”
