Family-Friendly Land Adventures at Vail Stables

Welcome to the only drop-in Happy G.O.A.T. Hours in town!

We've got shade, views, cold drinks, and adult-level lounging: picnic tables, gliders, and chairs. Canned music sets the mood. Human kids are entertained with toys, a sandbox, free-range goats, and yes, a very round pony.

Add-on Pony Rides: $20 per kid under 5 yrs and under 50lbs. You get 15 minutes max. Use 20 seconds? Still $20. No pony treats—she's already built like a barrel.

Goat & Horse Treats: $5/tin. Horses eat from bowls, not hands. No pony treats. Ever.

Available for Purchase: Beer, wine, seltzers, juice, soda, water, snacks (yes, we have Pringles).

Admission: Going through the second gate, with the $10 admission sign, triggers an admission fee. No exceptions. No tag-teaming. Disneyland has the admission gate faaaarrr away from the rides so people can’t cheat. Two people cannot share one admission at Disneyland either. !Description of image

$10 for ages 6+

$5 for ages 2–5

Free for toddlers under 2 (like, actually under 2)

Trying to sneak in your 6-year-old as a 5-year-old? Your kid will rat you out. Don’t embarrass yourself.

Admission gets you into the goat zone. It does NOT include pony rides, treats, alcohol, or snacks. And no, you can’t tag team one paid admission between two to five adults. Do you do that at the movie theater? Honestly!!

Hours: Opens at 11am.
Closes: at 4pm Drop in anytime between those two times with or without a reservation.

Closed September 2 and 4 and end of day 9/27 for the season.

No meal service (unless 2 bags of Fritos and a Nutella are satisfying enough).
No tickets required, but encouraged. Pay the bartender when you arrive.

Cancellation policy: 48 hours... and 5 minutes.

NO TREATS FOR THE FAT PONY!!

We have parking. We also have a shuttle if you are on foot. It's a long, hot hike up the mountain. Text (970) 445-8204. We will pick you up at the Vail Transportation Center where the sign says "Bustang" just as soon as one of us is free to ditch our other duties. It's a white van with our logo.
