Who doesn’t want to get up close and personal with exotic and domestic animals? That’s exactly what you can do at the Lazy 5 Ranch. This drive thru safari park gives visitors the chance to feed and touch animals from nine different continents from the safety of their own cars. Or make your visit even more special with a horse drawn wagon ride through the park. It’s a great experience for the whole family!
Lunch and Shopping at Merino’s Home Furnishings

Once you’ve washed the animal slobber off of you, head over to the more than seven acre shopping complex that features home furnishings and accessories, as well as an antique center. Even if you aren’t in the market for furniture, the gorgeous building that was once Burlington Industries is a site to see. While you are there enjoy lunch at one of the 2 restaurants, Alino Pizzeria or Barcelona Burger and Beer Garden. These 2 casual eateries are a favorite with locals and visitors!
