Goat Yoga Near Milwaukee: Where to Experience in 2026

You've tried hot yoga. You've done yoga in the park. But have you ever held downward dog while a baby goat climbs on your back? Welcome to goat yoga — the feel-good fitness trend that's equal parts workout and wildlife encounter, and it turns out the greater Milwaukee area has one of the best local scenes in the Midwest.

The greater Milwaukee area is home to a surprisingly robust goat yoga scene, with at least nine distinct providers spanning all six target counties and beyond. Oak Hollow Acres in Burlington offers the most frequent classes at just $20, while MKE Goat Yoga dominates the city with pop-up events at breweries, museums, and farmers markets. From a hemp farm in Kewaskum to a 600-acre living history museum in Eagle, options range from rustic farm settings to curated urban experiences — nearly all running seasonally from April through September.

MKE Goat Yoga brings the experience citywide

MKE Yoga Social

MKE Goat Yoga, operated by MKE Yoga Social, is Milwaukee's premier urban goat yoga brand — now in its sixth year. Rather than hosting at a single farm, MKE Yoga Social brings baby Nigerian Dwarf goats from Platinum Sky Farm in Lisbon (Waukesha County) to pop-up venues across the metro area. Featured in The New York Times and iHeart Radio, this is the operation that put Milwaukee goat yoga on the map.

The format is consistent across venues: 30 minutes of super-chill, beginner-friendly yoga followed by 30 minutes of goat cuddles, mingling, and photo ops. Photo assistance is provided. The goats are curious babies that climb on participants during poses. Ages 10 and up with a parent or guardian.

Confirmed and recurring pop-up venues include:

• The Cooperage (Milwaukee) — Primary recurring venue, often with Easter and Mother's Day themed sessions including champagne and photo backdrops

• Harley-Davidson Museum (Milwaukee) — Abbreviated 30-minute sessions for the annual Rock the Green Earth Day celebration

• Central Waters Brewing (Milwaukee) — Beer garden sessions with a complimentary pour

• Racine Farmers Market (Racine) — Bringing goat yoga to Racine County

• Brookfield Farmers Market (Waukesha County) — Suburban pop-up

• The Goat Bar & Grill — Seasonal sessions for their Goat Fest events

• SoLu Vineyards (Cascade, WI) — Wine/flight pour included, multiple seasonal dates

• Cedar III (Cedarburg, Ozaukee County) — Charity events benefiting GiGi's Playhouse Milwaukee

• DNA Hemp Farm (Kewaskum, Washington County) — "Elevated Baby Goat Yoga" with hemp/CBD samples

Pricing: Public sessions vary by venue (historically around $49 per person; early bird rates sometimes available). Private goat yoga starts at $595. Tickets for each season typically go on sale March 1 at 10:00 AM and sell out quickly.

Oak Hollow Acres

Located on a wooded private farm in Burlington, Oak Hollow Acres / Serenity Soap Works offers gentle vinyasa yoga with Nigerian Dwarf goats for just $20 per person — the lowest price in the region.

Owner Abby Lippmann has raised goats for nearly two decades. Indoor classes run early in the season (baby goats are brought into the farmhouse), while outdoor classes from June onward take place in a shaded, grassy goat pen tucked into scenic woods. The goats climb on you, sniff your face during poses, and curl up on your yoga mat. Instructor Jessie Vyvyan of Chi, Trees and Oils LLC (based inside Riverside Studio) leads every session. After class, you can purchase goat milk soap, bath products, pasture-raised eggs, and honey.

2026 schedule (confirmed):

Worth the drive for a Wisconsin goat yoga day trip

Two locations beyond the six-county core area deserve mention for their quality and accessibility from Milwaukee.

LaClare Creamery in Malone (Fond du Lac County, about 70 miles north) is an award-winning goat cheese creamery with 700+ goats on-site. Their goat yoga takes place in the pasture adjacent to their greenhouse with baby goats and certified instructors — rain moves it indoors. At $25 per session, classes run on select Saturdays from June through September. Combine it with their cheese shop, self-guided tour, baby goat snuggles, and wine-and-cheese pairings for a full day out.
