Note: Starting time of 4:30 is approximate and based on weather conditions. 

*You can show up anytime during your one hour time slot for a ride. Although you may appear anytime during your allotted time slot, Flyers will be taken in the order they arrive and only up and until the end of their allotted time slot. 

100 tickets will be sold per time slot and rides will last around 3-5 minutes.

What to expect

• Rides are approximately 3-5 minutes long and can hold between 4-7 people (depending on weight).
• The tethered rides are wheelchair accessible! There are very few balloon baskets in the US with a door. Climbing into a basket is not a problem for many people, but for some it may seem impossible. For those with knee problems, or those using a cane, walker or wheelchair, we are offering balloons with Easy Access Baskets that make entering the basket easy. Our goal is to include anyone who wants to experience a balloon ride!! Our baskets also have a clear door, so those in wheelchairs and kids can see out with no problem!
• It does get noisy in the balloons so please be prepared for that if bringing younger children who may be afraid of loud noises.
• Your online ticket will be exchanged for a different ticket the day of the balloon ride.
