Groups at The Lazy 5
We welcome all types of groups and school field trips at the Lazy 5 Ranch. For students, it's a one-of-a-kind opportunity that provides hands-on, face-to-face education. We've also found that senior citizen and family reunion groups enjoy the wagon rides as much as the kids. Our wagons are not wheelchair-friendly, however. Please keep this in mind as you plan your trip. We also welcome church groups, scout groups, daycare, and summer camps. – GROUP PRICING FOR WAGON RIDES – 15 or more people including all ages 2 & up – $15.00 per person. School Groups - For every 10 students, 1 teacher gets in free. To book your field trip please call 704-663-5100.
Birthday Parties
What could possibly be a more memorable birthday than feeding a giraffe to getting slobbered on by a water buffalo? We have a large picnic shelter with tables underneath as well as many other tables in the woods for you to set up your perfect party. Picnic shelter and table use are first come, first serve and cannot be reserved. Wagon rides for your party can be reserved by calling 704-663-5100.
Arrival
Please arrive 45 minutes prior to your reserved wagon ride time. This will allow time to check in and bathroom breaks. Check in: Please have the exact number of children, parents and teachers upon arrival. This will ensure a smooth check in process. Please remind those parents driving separately to arrive 45 minutes prior to ride time.
Payment
Please make arrangements prior to your arrive. Options for payment are check, purchase order or cash. Parents and guardians who ride the bus to the Lazy 5 should pay the school prior to arrival while those who drive separate should pay at upon arrival.
Water and Food
We do not have water fountains. Please plan ahead to make sure students are hydrated. We do have a Gift Store where water can be purchased. The Lazy 5 only carries light snacks, drinks and ice cream (seasonally), so please plan to bring a lunch or arrange for meals elsewhere. Catering can be arranged from vendors such as Chic-fil-A, Pizza, or Lancaster's BBQ.
Restrooms
Because we have a limited number of bathrooms, please only use them for potty breaks. There are hand sanitizing and hand washing stations located by the horse barn and picnic shelter.
Allergies & Medical Needs
Please take any medical devices or medicine on the wagon ride. The wagon rides last about 45 minutes to an hour. It could be difficult to get back to the buses in time to retrieve the appropriate medicine. Also, the animal feed DOES NOT contain peanuts. Please email us if you would like a copy of the feed ingredients.
