About This Adventure
Our limited edition 2024 Conservation Pin has arrived early -- and 100% of net proceeds will go as a donation toward building a new Red Panda exhibit, expected to be open at some point in 2024. Red pandas are an endangered species with a population reported to be fewer than 10,000 in the wild as a result of deforestation, poaching, accidental trapping, and illegal pet trade. Providing a home for red pandas at Lehigh Valley Zoo supports the Zoo’s vision of the conservation of the species, while educating our guests about the importance of wildlife conservation. Add our annual Conservation Pin to your admission while supplies last.
YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR PIN(S) UPON CHECK-IN AT THE ZOO.
