We had a great time and highly recommend it to everyone. We will go back for sure. It is probably one of the most fun things to do in NC. Just a few things to be aware of. If you drive through with you own car be aware that it may get scratched from critter hoofs. It will also need... more

My family and I (2 kids age 3 and 1) have been to Lazy 5 three times. We live farely close and use a coupon each time. We drive through the park. I wouldn't recommend driving through if you are worried about your car. The animals will jump up to get food from the feed buckets you can buy. It's... more

I would never go back. We were there in a thunderstorm and the wagons never took off (obviously). We waited for over an hour in the barn. We finally left as we had small children with us. They would not give us our money back (which is fine - their signs read that), but they also would not give a... more

We had a great time. As other comments say, it beats a typical zoo just about any day. We had a wagon ride and I would recommend that, especially for your first time. We had a great guide (driver) and he even allowed us to grab some leaves off trees to feed the girrafs. I didn't get his name, but... more

We visited in April of 2008 and drove thru. Finding one thing that was so much fun for both a 17 & a 5 yr old is not an easy thing to do. They both were enthralled & so was I. A really different concept - you are in the car and the animals are loose -- and seeing the... more

IT was amazing. I'm 23 and my boyfriend and I went. I felt like a kid again. WE took the wagon ride (which comes with feed) and it was amazing. The animals on the ranch are not shy at all. They eat from your hand and the bucket. I'I honestly dont understand how the manage to eat so much but... more

We had our grandchildren, from Ohio, visiting and we decided to take them to the Lazy5. We called and got an appointment for the wagon ride. We arrived, paid our $61.00, parked and proceded to the barn area to get on the wagon. It started pouring down rain. We waited for about 20 minutes and decided to get a rain... more

As a frequent visitor to the Lazy 5 they have lost a customer and I will spread the word to everyone I know. We went for a visit on Thursday July 9th, 2009 and after we had already entered we had a torrential rainstorm. We were booked for a wagon ride with 2 very small children . Since they do... more

I had seen the other reviews and thought we give this a try, as we were staying close by. We had a lot of laughs and a great time. The animals are way overfed, and some are aggressive for food, but you definitely get up close with them. My kids (15, 13, 11) all had fun, and enjoyed the variety... more
