Shared Yoga and Coffee Experience On The Trolley Pub

The unusual part comes first: you are not simply taking a yoga class or sitting in a coffee shop. You pedal a mobile trolley through Columbus, stop for a full outdoor yoga session, then settle in with coffee or a cocktail. It is a playful morning outing that mixes light exercise, city views, and time with friends.

I like the stop at Goodale Park, where the yoga class takes place in a setting with a gazebo, fountain, and open air. I also like the practical extras: a clean, well-kept trolley, a Bluetooth stereo, ice packs, and a cooler. The main catch is weather. This is an outdoor activity, and a rainy or poor-weather day can lead to a new date or cancellation.

Key points to know

• Yoga at Goodale Park: The class includes breathing and stretching, not just a few quick poses.
• A real morning outing: The trolley visits Goodale Park and the Scioto Mile before returning to its starting point.
• Coffee with a discount: Bada Bean Bada Booze offers a 15% discount, though drinks and snacks cost extra.
• Small group size: The trolley accepts a maximum of 15 people, which keeps the outing social without making it huge.
• Yoga mat rental included: You do not need to bring your own mat.
• Weather matters: The activity requires good weather, so keep your plans flexible.

A pedal-powered start in downtown Columbus

Meet at 152 N Young St. at 9:00 am. The trolley returns to this same point after roughly two hours, so you do not need to arrange a separate ride from the final stop.

The vehicle gives the morning a casual, group-oriented feel. You pedal through the city while the trolley captain handles the route and keeps the outing moving. The ECI-certified captain is included, along with a Bluetooth stereo system, cooler, and ice packs. Music is part of the appeal, especially if you are booking this as a birthday outing, friend reunion, or easy Sunday plan.

You should expect some light physical effort from the pedaling, followed by a yoga class. The activity asks for a moderate fitness level, so it is not designed as a completely passive sightseeing ride. You do not need to be an athlete, but you should be comfortable with two hours that combine riding, standing, and stretching.

The maximum group size is 15. That is large enough to create some energy on the trolley, yet small enough for your group to feel connected. If you are booking with friends, the format works well because you can talk, listen to music, and share the ride rather than sit quietly in a standard tour vehicle.

Goodale Park turns the ride into a yoga morning

Goodale Park is the heart of this outing. After the trolley ride, you stop for outdoor yoga, with the park providing a change of pace from the moving vehicle and city streets.

The class is led by a professional instructor. Sara is named as the instructor connected with this experience, and the session is described as a complete class with breathing and stretches rather than a few casual exercises. That distinction matters. You are not simply stepping off the trolley for a quick photo opportunity. The yoga portion has enough structure to feel like a proper class.

The park setting also gives the morning a calm center. A gazebo and fountain provide visual interest, and the open-air setting can make the breathing portion feel more natural than it would in a busy studio. On a pleasant morning, this is likely to be the most peaceful part of the outing.

A yoga mat rental is included, which removes one common nuisance. You can arrive without carrying extra equipment. You should still wear clothing that allows comfortable movement, since you will pedal first and stretch later. The tour does not specify a required yoga level, so the safest expectation is a general class rather than an advanced session.

Goodale Park is also where weather becomes most important. In rain, the trolley can still offer some shelter, but outdoor yoga is a different matter. The activity requires good weather, and poor conditions may result in a rescheduled date or a full refund.

A look at the Scioto Mile between activities

The route also includes the Scioto Mile, a well-known Columbus riverfront area. Here, the value is not a long guided walking tour or a detailed historical lecture. You are getting a moving glimpse of the city as part of a relaxed ride.

That makes the Scioto Mile a useful middle section in the itinerary. Goodale Park provides the yoga setting, while the riverfront adds city scenery and a change of view. You can enjoy the ride without having to plan a separate visit to these areas.

Keep your expectations in the right place. The full activity lasts about two hours, and that time includes pedaling, the yoga stop, the coffee or cocktail stop, and the return ride. You will see parts of Columbus, but this is not a full sightseeing tour with lengthy stops at every landmark.

I would treat the route as a pleasant introduction to two city areas rather than the main reason to book. The best reason is the combination: you get movement, outdoor time, and a social ride in one compact morning.

Coffee, cocktails, and a 15% discount at Bada Bean Bada Booze

The final stop is Bada Bean Bada Booze, a coffee and cocktail bar. This is where the physical part of the morning gives way to conversation and refreshments.

The 15% discount is included, but drinks and snacks are not. Coffee drinks, cocktails, and treats are an extra expense, so factor that into your budget. The stop works particularly well after yoga because it gives you time to sit, cool down, and talk through the morning rather than ending immediately after the class.

The bar also gives the outing a useful choice of mood. You can keep it simple with coffee, or make the morning more celebratory with a cocktail. Since alcohol is not included, you remain in control of what you spend and what kind of morning you want.

One practical point: the activity begins at 9:00 am. That early start favors coffee and brunch-style plans, but it may not suit anyone hoping for a late-morning outing. If your group wants a full meal, do not assume snacks are supplied. Plan to purchase food separately if needed.

What the $39 price includes

At $39 per person, the value depends on how many parts of the outing you would otherwise book separately. You are paying for the trolley ride, a certified captain, a professional yoga class, mat rental, and the group route through Goodale Park and the Scioto Mile.

The included equipment also saves small but real costs. You do not need to rent a mat, bring a cooler, or organize music for the group. The 15% discount at Bada Bean Bada Booze helps with the final stop, though it does not cover drinks or snacks.

I see the price as fair for a group activity that combines several elements. It makes more sense for a group of friends than for someone seeking a serious yoga workshop or a detailed city tour. If you mainly want a quiet yoga class, a studio could be more focused. If you mainly want coffee, you can spend far less by going directly to a cafe.

The value comes from the unusual format and the shared time. You are paying for the trolley, the route, the instructor, the equipment, and the convenience of having the morning arranged for you.

The strongest reasons to book

The most praised part of the outing is the yoga class itself. The class includes breathing and stretches and takes place in a memorable outdoor setting. If you want an activity that feels more substantial than a novelty ride, this is an important point in its favor.

The trolley is another strength. It is described as clean and well cared for, which matters when you are spending two hours in a small shared vehicle. The Bluetooth stereo adds a party element without requiring your group to manage its own speaker.

I also like the range of moods packed into the morning. You begin with movement and music, shift to quiet concentration in the park, then finish with coffee or cocktails. That gives the outing more shape than a simple pedal ride.

The activity has earned a 4.8 rating from four ratings, and the repeated praise centers on the fun, unusual setup, the quality of the yoga, and the clean trolley. Those are the parts I would use to judge the booking. The route and refreshments are pleasant additions, but the trolley-plus-yoga combination is the real product.

The drawbacks to consider before booking

The weather policy is the biggest concern. This is not an indoor tour with a guaranteed departure in all conditions. If poor weather cancels the outing, you will be offered another date or a full refund, but that can disrupt a tightly planned weekend.

The start time may also be a drawback. A 9:00 am meeting time is excellent for an active Sunday morning, but less appealing if your group prefers a slow breakfast or late night.

The activity requires moderate physical fitness. The description does not give a precise distance, pedaling time, or yoga level, so you should be comfortable with some exercise and outdoor movement. Service animals are allowed, and the meeting point is near public transportation, which helps with basic access.

Finally, the price does not include alcohol or snacks. The 15% discount is useful, but you should still expect to pay for anything ordered at Bada Bean Bada Booze. The tour is best viewed as an activity with a refreshment stop, not an all-inclusive brunch.

Who will enjoy this Columbus outing most

I would recommend it most to friends who want something different from a standard cafe morning. It is also a good fit for a birthday group, a small reunion, or anyone who likes combining exercise with social time.

Yoga beginners can reasonably consider it because the class is described as a full session of breathing and stretching rather than a demanding specialty workshop. Still, the activity is not ideal if you dislike group exercise or feel uncomfortable pedaling in a shared vehicle.

It suits people who want to see a little of Columbus without committing to a long sightseeing program. The stops at Goodale Park and the Scioto Mile give you recognizable city settings, while the trolley adds a playful way to move between them.

I would be more cautious about booking if your schedule cannot bend around weather changes, if you need a fully indoor activity, or if you want a detailed historical tour. This outing is about atmosphere, movement, and company more than facts and landmarks.

Booking details that matter

You receive confirmation at booking, and tickets are mobile, so there is no need to print anything. The activity is offered in English and returns to 152 N Young St. after the final stop.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the 9:00 am start time. Changes or cancellations made within 24 hours are not accepted for a refund. The operator may also cancel if the minimum number of participants is not reached, in which case you will be offered another date or a full refund.

The experience is often reserved around 60 days ahead. That is a useful sign for planning, particularly if you want a weekend date or are arranging it for a group. With a maximum of 15 people, popular dates may not remain open indefinitely.

Should you book the Trolley Pub yoga and coffee experience?

Book it if you want a social Columbus morning with a clear sense of occasion. The strongest combination is the clean pedal trolley, Goodale Park yoga with Sara, the Scioto Mile route, and a relaxed finish at Bada Bean Bada Booze.

Skip it if your priority is a serious yoga lesson, a full city history tour, or a guaranteed indoor plan. At $39, it offers solid value when you want several activities in one package, especially with friends. Just dress for movement, allow money for drinks or snacks, and keep your schedule flexible in case the weather turns.
