My kids love the fish hatchery. We visit at least once a week. Buy the large bag of food and it will last at least 30 minutes.

Was great for when my kids were little as a small outing to feed the fish. Now, it remains a beautiful place to hike, and yes, still feed the fish! Relaxing and a must do in Allentown.
