Review & FAQ:
Enjoy the thrilling sights of live animals from the comfort of your own car at the Lazy 5 Ranch. This Charlotte zoo can be found just a very short drive out of the city and features all kinds of exotic species like giraffes, rhinos, camels, kangaroos, porcupines, tortoises, and more.
This is the only drive-through zoo experience in the Charlotte area and visitors have the choice of using their own vehicles or simply climbing aboard one of the horse-drawn wagons operated by the park staff. The safari route runs for 3.5 miles through the Lazy 5 Ranch, offering some great photo opportunities and views you'll never forget.
