A marvelous adventure for the whole family awaits at the Lazy 5 Ranch, an exotic animal drive-through park that offers visitors a unique 3.5-mile safari through the pasturelands of North Carolina. Privately owned by Henry Hampton, an expert in the field who has been raising and handling exotic animals for over thirty-five years, the Ranch features over 750 animals from around the world, including endangered species such as the grevy zebra, scimitar, horned oryx, and ring-tailed lemur.
Guests are welcome to view the animals from their own vehicle, but for the ultimate experience they should reserve a tour of the Ranch on one of the horse-drawn wagons. The Ranch also features several petting areas for up-close interaction with the animals, as well as a working blacksmith shop and a hundred-year-old horse barn. Picnic areas and a playground make the Lazy 5 Ranch a great place to spend the day or have a party.
