Allentown, is the largest of the three Pennsylvania cities that make up the Lehigh Valley. Formerly an industrial hub, Allentown is probably most well known as the subject of the eponymous Billy Joel song. The long history of Allentown has left it with an impressive architectural heritage that includes buildings such as the neo-Roman Art Museum, which contains a reconstructed room designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The city is also home to the Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom amusement park.

My parents introduced me to the fish hatchery as a little tyke and they continued this tradition by taking my kids there, I love this place. I used to drive my bike there from Emmaus as a teenager to get away from life. If you want to find some solace and/or listen to children's happiness, spend an hour at the fish hatchery. Go to the little house on the east end to pickup some fish food and enjoy the little museum they have, go for a stroll along the Little Lehigh River and the Lehigh Parkway, just sit and enjoy some tranquility. This is the epitome of an "off the beaten path" get away. If you have kids, it's a must.

In June of 2001, I lost my son Joseph shortly after birth. Lehigh Valley hospital had a program where at their expense you have the option of sprinkling your babies ashes there. If you ever notice, back by the one gazebo towards the stream is a plaque in the ground stating here lies my child. Some may feel uncomfortable with my decision, but for me there is no other place i would like to pay my respects to my son Joseph because he lies with beautiful roses, baby birds flying. Very comforting to me to visit him there. The only thing that is missing are the harps playing angel music. So next time you visit or visit for the 1st time know they are angels guiding over of of you. ????????❤
