JIN MOUSA Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yes - I ended up watching the video in the article. It's NOT goats doing yoga (Why? HOW???), but people doing yoga with goats present (still a little "Why?" And some "How?" with the logistics of animals indoor) And I can generally see the appeal of making airports more comfortable/interesting, but given the experienced and expected rise in air travel, something like the ice skating rink, that also draws non-passengers, seems like it would contribute to the crowding issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 https://www.denverpost.com/2018/01/21/denver-international-airport-amenities/ Umm, what is goat yoga??? It's quite popular here. Another revenue stream for small farms/homesteaders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Don’t goats chew on things and poop a lot? Can they be potty trained to not poop on the yoga floor? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been to the Denver Airport but haven’t seen the skating rink. If you are a passenger, do you have to leave the secure area to take advantage? That seems like a huge pain unless you have a long layover. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I have no idea what the appeal of having a skating rink in an airport is. I mean, it's great to have physical activity during long layovers, but I'm with you on crowding issues. Goat yoga is a mystery to me, but I have several friends with goats, so I had actually heard of it. I wonder if on a long trip it might be nice to connect with some bit of nature, in this case goats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I’ve been to the Denver Airport but haven’t seen the skating rink. If you are a passenger, do you have to leave the secure area to take advantage? That seems like a huge pain unless you have a long layover.Yeah, I'm not sure we've ever had a layover that leaves extra time beyond getting to the gate and maybe grabbing a cup of coffee if we're lucky. I would choose a different flight or airport to go through if my layover was long enough to do yoga or go ice skating. I just want to get to where I'm going--I NEVER wish for LONGER travel days!

JIN MOUSA Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 It's quite popular here. Another revenue stream for small farms/homesteaders. See that makes a bit more sense. I doubt it's something I'd be interested in (I generally prefer my yoga to be animal-free), however, I can see it being a benefit to small farms/homesteaders and people who are interested. The logistics of doing it in an airport leave me scratching my head. The article did say that the media value of the goat yoga is $1 million plus, which for me may push it more toward media stunt and further away from customer care or income benefit for small farmers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAJinBE Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I can't see my family making use of these activities during a layover. We are looking for a decent meal and free wifi. I wouldn't want to risk injury or wet clothing to go ice skating. I also wouldn't go to an airport to do anything if I didn't have to after the recent experience in Brussels airport. For us we just want to get through the airport as safely and quickly as possible, and only when it's necessary. I choose our layover locations based on weather (preferring Atlanta to Chicago in winter for example), friendliness of the staff, and ease of moving between terminals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 goat yoga.... :lol: It still sounds WAY better than hot yoga! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We’ve flown through Denver fairly often,and while they have a lot of restaurants, stores, etc in the passenger terminals, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ice skating or goats... I’m assuming you have to leave the secure concourse? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importswim Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 DH spends a lot of time in airports. I say get rid of the skate rink and the goats and make the seats in the terminal all comfy recliners! THAT is a great use of money. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I would much rather ice skate or cuddle a baby goat than do yoga... But I'm not sure I'd want to sit next to a person that smelled like a cross between sweat and a goat barn before. Yuck!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
