Allentown and the Lehigh are synonymous with family fun. Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom is one of the nation's finest amusement parks. The park consists of World-class roller coasters, top rated water slides, a giant wave pool and dozens of activities for the whole family. Small children will love the Trexler-Lehigh Game Preserve.

If a faster pace is your idea of fun, try the Lehigh Valley Velodrome. World class cyclists now compete at the velodrome in Olympic qualifying events which attract racing enthusiasts from all over the world. For even more speed, visit the Nazareth National Speedway which was built as a 1 1/8th mile D shaped dirt oval in 1966. Penske Speedway Inc. purchased the facility in 1986 and converted it to the 1 mile paved oval that is used for CART and Busch Grand National racing today.

If your wish is to broaden your horizons then stop in at the magnificent Allentown Art Museum or make plans to spend the evening listening to the Allentown Symphony Orchestra. Another favorite attraction is Easton's State Theater which brings a wonderful variety of entertainment to the Lehigh Valley. The Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival is an outstanding production which draws fans from a multi-state area.

The Lehigh Valley is also very fortunate to have many annual cultural and recreational events. The premier summer event is Musikfest, which is one of the world's largest music festivals. For car enthusiasts August is the time of the year to be in the Valley, because Das Awskcht Fescht is one of the largest antique car shows on the East Coast. The Great Allentown Fair is a favorite attraction at the end of the summer.

The abundance of natural beauty in the Lehigh Valley makes it a perfect place to enjoy camping, hunting, skiing and sightseeing. There are numerous historical sites and many local parks as well as state parks. You and your family will look forward to taking advantage of all this beautiful area has to offer.
