About Lazy 5 Ranch

Collection of animals from 6 continents. Zoo with domestic & exotic animals from 6 continents, with wagon rides & petting areas.

💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Bring cash and purchase more food buckets than you think you'll need. Multiple reviews emphasize buying extra buckets as animals are eager to eat, and the cash-only payment system is frequently mentioned by visitors.
  • 💡Choose the wagon ride over self-driving. Reviewers consistently praise wagon rides for getting further into the property, providing knowledgeable guides with animal facts, and enabling close encounters. Wagon drivers are noted as safety-oriented and beloved by the animals.
  • 💡Plan for 2+ hours of driving/wagon time through the property. Visitors should allow a full afternoon to experience the wagon ride, feeding stations, walking petting zoo sections, and on-site amenities like the playground, ice cream shop, and gift shop.
  • 💡Bring young children of all ages—this attraction works for toddlers through preschoolers. Even non-feeding toddlers can enjoy being close to animals, and older preschoolers can manage the food buckets independently while parents handle feeding.
  • 💡Visit for the personalized animal education experience. Wagon guides provide detailed knowledge about individual animals (like Puzzles the Giraffe), their personalities, and care, making this a stronger learning experience than self-guided visits.
