Goats on the Roof

A fun stop! We saw kids that had been born the morning before.

Goats on the Roof

This is a near-exact copy of the original Goats on the Roof location in Helen, Georgia -- a basic gift shop/gem mine/ice cream store that happens to have goats on its roof, which you may feed. You can get a better view of the goats from the second floor retail area, which has windows overlooking the roof. Also, some of the goats are often in a ground-level pen on the side of the building when it isn't their turn to be on the roof.

While you can feed them using a hand-cranked pulley system (just like at the original location), this place also has a stationary bicycle, which you can pedal to crank the food up to the roof!
