Mooresville petting zoo

Family Fun in North Carolina

Summertime is here! Now is the perfect time to load up your family and come see us. Even the “big” kids will enjoy it here! You can spend the whole day here taking a wagon ride, going on a picnic or simply hanging out and soaking up the sun.

Did you ever go eyeball to eyeball with a Texas Longhorn cow? Did you know giraffes have a purple tongue? What part of a Watusi acts like a radiator? O, and how could I forget! Would you dare get close to a rhino? Don’t worry Luther won’t hurt you.

The Lazy 5 Ranch offers the unique experience of giving you a 3.5 mile tour of over 750 animals from all over the world. The Lazy 5 Ranch is a drive through animal park that will be a sure hit with the whole family. You can drive through the Lazy 5 Ranch in the safety of your own car or even better, call for reservations on our horse drawn open-air wagons. Be sure to bring your cameras!

The Lazy 5 Ranch is a privately owned animal ranch that is unique to North Carolina and all of the Southeast. We are located in the gently rolling pastureland’s of Mooresville, North Carolina. We look forward to seeing you soon. The animals are waiting!
