For Lovers of Festive Lights
Lehigh Valley is home to outstanding light displays, all perfect for a family outing. Stay cozy in the car and drive through Lights in the Parkway. This local must-see winds through over a mile of Lehigh Parkway in Allentown. Prefer to walk through the magic? Head to Illumination at Coca-Cola Park, where themed nights include exciting photo ops with live camels and special characters. Or, head to the Lehigh Valley Zoo for their annual Winter Light Spectacular. Be sure to stop and say hello to the reindeer!
If you love Christmas Trees, look no further than the Christmas City for their Trees of Historic Bethlehem tour! Fun for all ages, this year's exhibition showcases the top Christmas Trees and themes of the past 20 years. Don't forget to swing by Easton and take a photo with what is believed to be America's First Christmas Tree.
For the Merry Makers
Choo choo! The holidays are the perfect time to take in some of the region’s most impressive model train displays, including the ever-popular Holiday Train Open House at Lehigh & Keystone Valley Model Railroad Museum.
