Lehigh Valley Zoo, Animal conservation center in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
Lehigh Valley Zoo is an animal facility set within a large nature preserve featuring hundreds of animals from many species. The grounds include walking paths, viewing areas, and sections displaying various animal habitats.
The preserve was established in the early 1900s to protect wild animal species from habitat loss and hunting. Over time it evolved into a zoo with breeding programs and educational programs for visitors.
The zoo functions as a place where visitors come to observe animals and learn about their conservation needs in a natural setting. Families and school groups gather here to connect with wildlife and understand how species are protected.
The facility operates year-round and is designed for walking through different sections at your own pace with rest areas available. Come prepared with comfortable shoes and weather protection, as paths wind through outdoor grounds.
The zoo participates in specialized breeding programs focused on protecting rare and endangered animal species from around the world. These coordinated efforts help maintain populations of animals that face threats in their natural habitats.
