RIDICULOUSLY STRICT 48 hr and 5 minute cancellation policy.
Dress in layers as Colorado weather is very moody, and the forecast is usually deceiving. A lot can happen in 1-2 hours on a mountain. Please have more than a t-shirt and shorts for your skinny little kids.

Yoga – with 20, frolicking, baby goats getting in your face and your space. It’s a fun, novel, weird, zen, bucket list type of thing. Puts a smile on your dour face.

Check out the GOGA schedule online. $40pp 8yrs+ unless you buyout the class of 20. Then littles are welcome.
G.O.A.T. Happy Hour (Now closed for 2023 Season)
Not open often this week as we close down. But when we are it’s sooooo good.
Click to See Hours
Walk-ups welcome, no reservations required.
Reservations guarantee the bartender will be open until the posted closing time on our online schedule. If it’s too quiet, she sometimes closes down.
$10pp 6 yrs+
Walk ups welcome! Gliders, shade, a great view, chill vibe and plenty of adult beverages like cold beer, mixed cocktail drinks in a can and wine. Hang with goats and a non-rideable pony. Your kids might not talk to you for 3 hours.
Sometimes we have private buyout parties. See the schedule G.O.A.T. Happy Hour to confirm. Please don’t call. We do not have a receptionist.
G.O.A.T. Happy Hour Reservations guarantee she will stay until the last minute of the posted schedule just for you. Otherwise, she may bolt if the place is empty.
An adult hangout that is very family-friendly (all ages) with canned music, a fenced-in area, shaded sandbox, play-on toys, very few rules, (Hey kid, don’t kick the goats!) 20 baby goats to feed, snacks and kid beverages. A parent’s dream vacation spot. Let the goats and pony entertain the kids while you (slightly) check out on a comfy glider.
$10 admission, per human 6 and over (0-5yrs free with paying adult), Walk-Ups welcome! This is an all day event. See the hours on our calendar. Parents MUST accompany their tiny children. It’s awkward if you expect the other paying parents to rescue your small, short, screeching child, holding a tin of goat treats, from goaty-goats while you watch from the free area.
Nope. You cannot bring your dog, cat or elephant. It would be a social media nightmare if your dog bit a goat, your cat scratched a kid or your elephant sat on a pony.
Pony Time (Now closed for 2023 Season)
Kids can pet or brush our lovely Pony “Bennie” but no riding. And no hand feeding! Little fingers look like little carrots. Use a bowl from the bartender.
Pony Rides discontinued due to bar fights between parents concerning who gets the pony first.
Q: We know you aren’t open for G.O.A.T. Happy Hour now and you all look so busy but can you just get the pony out for us? Our daughter has been dying to ride a pony.
A: Neigh.
If 2023 is anything like last year, it will be ridiculous. We encourage you to make your reservations as soon as possible to secure the ride and time slot or class you desire. You have 48 Hours and 5 Minutes prior to check-in time to cancel your reservation and receive a full refund.
Q: Why do we have to pay in advance?
A: Because we are all dumb cowboys and cowgirls and the software people say that’s how it works.
