Lazy 5 Ranch

Awesome place, been there too many times to count! Its fun to take friends there..

From their website:

The Lazy 5 Ranch is a privately owned exotic animal drive-thru park that offers a 3.5 mile safari through the gently sloping pasturelands of Piedmont, North Carolina. While visiting at the Lazy 5 Ranch you will have the opportunity to view over 750 animals from six different continents. You can see these animals from the safety of your own car or call for reservations on our horse drawn wagons. And be sure to bring your camera. This is a drive-thru experience unique in North Carolina. There is no other collection of animals like this in the Southeast.

Other areas of interest at the Lazy 5 Ranch include petting areas, a black smith shop, gift store, horse barn, play ground and picnic areas.

We had fun, it’s very enjoyable. Pot-bellied pigs, peacocks, goats, longhorns, giraffes, zebras, deer, etc etc. Beware of the camels and llamas though. They have a penchant for sneezing on you. Eww!

During the summer months, it can be a great place to hold children’s birthday parties.
