Goats

The crazy ideas that bring a smile to your face.

Goats, beer, & wine — name a better trio!

Happy G.O.A.T. Hours From $10

Happy G.O.A.T. Hours: Where 20 baby goats, pony rides, and a beer garden come together for the ultimate family adventure! Kids can cuddle goats, ride ponies, and play to their heart’s content while parents finally get 2 hours of peace, a cold drink, and the sweet, sweet sound of silence (unless a goat decides to bleat loudly, but hey, that’s part of the charm). Perfect for families who want fun, relaxation, and a few selfies with goats that won’t judge your parenting.

Bear Hollow Trail From $165

The Bear Hollow Ride is a 1.5-hour family-friendly adventure that includes walking and trotting, so everyone can feel like a real cowboy (or cowgirl). For ages 5 and up, you’ll mosey through aspen groves, meadows, and forests with views so good you’ll forget to check your phone. Keep an eye out for wildlife—though no promises the bears will join the party. Perfect for families looking to bond, laugh, and create memories (while pretending the trotting is smooth, but it’s mostly just fun). Saddle up, hold on, and enjoy the ride!

Dark Timber Trail From $220

The Dark Timber 2-Hour Ride is a thrilling adventure for riders ages 7 and up, perfect for those seeking stunning views and a bit of a challenge. This ride climbs 1,000 feet in elevation, taking you through dense forests and offering spectacular vistas of the surrounding mountains. As you ascend, you’ll experience the beauty of the high country, with every twist and turn revealing more breathtaking scenery. A bit of a workout for both rider and horse, but absolutely worth it for the views and sense of accomplishment!

Rocky Point Trail From $130

The Rocky Point Trail is a 1-hour ride through Vail’s scenic meadows and Aspen groves, perfect for ages 5 and up—because who doesn’t want to ride a horse, see panoramic views, and pretend to be in a Western movie without the whole “being chased by bandits” part? Enjoy wildlife sightings, fresh air, and zero steep drop-offs (unless you count that awkward moment when your horse gets distracted by a snack).

Hours: varies  

48 Hour and 5 Minute Cancellation Policy

As the college kids go back to school, the bartender has to guide sometimes.  That means the hours for Happy Hour will fluctuate daily.  Just check the schedule online.  A reservation guarantees the bartender will stay open for you – even if it’s slow or snowing.  Walkups are welcome but if it’s too quiet and there aren’t any reservations, the bartender might bolt at 4pm.  No reason to sit around alone.

If you call to ask if we are open, your first drink costs double.

$10 admission for 6 yrs+. 

$20 if you sneak in.  It’s not a city park!

0-5yrs  free

You may show up anytime between open and 30 minutes before closing without reservations.  Like a restaurant. 

Arriving early, say 10:30, doesn’t change the time we open the gate.  Screaming, whining kids hanging on the gate asking a million times, “How much longer?” doesn’t cause us to rush to open.   

If you do not have transportation and need a ride up and back text (970) 445-8204 for our shuttle to meet you at the east end of the Vail Transportation Center.  

 

You’ll get to interact with the goats, pet them, feed them, and watch them play. It’s like a little slice of paradise, right here on earth. And let me tell you, these goats know how to party. They’ll jump and climb and do all sorts of silly things that will make you laugh and forget all your troubles.

But it’s not just about having fun. Spending time with animals has been shown to have a positive impact on mental health, reducing stress and anxiety and boosting feelings of happiness and well-being. So not only will you have a great time, but you’ll also come away feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

In short, Happy G.O.A.T. Hours is the perfect way to spend an afternoon. You’ll laugh, you’ll play, you’ll connect with nature and these wonderful animals. It’s an experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives.

Just to clarify:  This is a multi-hour, come-and-go event.  You may show up anytime between the start time and 30 minutes before closing without reservations. See calendar.  If there are no reservations, the place is empty and it’s one hour before the published closing time, the bartender might bolt.  Reservations guarantee she will wait for you.

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. 

 

Goat Yoga (GOGA), or Family GOGA,

All Ages

$30pp

Now that’s something truly special, my friends. Let me tell you, it’s yoga with a twist, a little bit of animal magic thrown into the mix. It’s like downward dog meets downward goat!

Picture this: you’re doing your sun salutations, and then you look up and there’s a goat right there beside you, nibbling on your yoga mat. It’s a little crazy, a little chaotic, but it’s also hilarious and fun. Those goats, they’re just full of personality, always curious and playful.

The thing about goat yoga is that it’s not just about the yoga, it’s about the whole experience. It’s about being outside in nature, feeling the sun on your skin, and breathing in the fresh air. It’s about letting go of your worries and just being present in the moment. And those goats, they’re great at helping you do that. They make you laugh, they make you smile, and they remind you that life is meant to be enjoyed.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Isn’t it distracting to have goats wandering around while you’re trying to do yoga?” Well, sure, it can be a little distracting, but that’s kind of the point. It’s not supposed to be a super-serious yoga practice. It’s supposed to be lighthearted and fun, something that makes you feel good inside and out.

So if you’re looking for a unique and hilarious yoga experience, give goat yoga a try. Trust me, it’ll have you bleating with joy!

If you are a Yoga Snob, this might blow your mind and really test your ability to calm your mind.  So, take a deep breath, put on your best “I’m totally zen” face, and let’s see if you can handle the goat yoga groove.  People come here for many reasons and it doesn’t look anything like a stereotypical yoga class.  The instructors are certified, professional and sweat right along with you but they also make sure yoga newbies do not feel intimidated.  Through the distraction of goats, newbies they find they can actually do a pose or two and are willing to pursue a the practice- because everyone was watching the goats, not them.

Our review of Goat Yoga participants.   Over the last 9 years, you have been the most respectful people.  You are punctual, polite and fun.  Thank you for being wonderful people!!
