About Our Balloons and Experiences
Tethered Balloons
Our tethered balloons are securely anchored to vehicles on the ground, allowing them to rise about 50-100 feet into the air. These balloons feature a side door on the basket, providing easy access and making them handicap accessible (please note, they are not wheelchair accessible). This experience offers a gentle, elevated view for those looking to enjoy the sensation of ballooning while remaining close to the ground.
Walk-In Balloon
Step inside a real hot air balloon! Our walk-in balloon is inflated with cold air using a fan and does not have a basket. This allows visitors to touch the fabric and walk inside, giving them a firsthand perspective on the immense size of a hot air balloon. It’s a memorable experience for all ages.
Meet Our Pilots and Balloons
Once the balloons are fully inflated and stabilized, visitors are welcome to approach the balloons for a closer look. We keep everyone at a safe distance during inflation due to the presence of fans, flames, and the pilots’ need to concentrate, but once the balloons are set, guests can chat with our friendly pilots and crew. Many pilots even do a “meet and greet” with their basket and burners later in the day—typically around 4 pm, though this is subject to change.
Musical Synchronized Glows
Join us for the spectacular musical synchronized glow show, led by Dave Kallaway. This magical event, where balloons “dance” to music, is a highlight of the festival and a cherished moment for families to experience together. It’s one of our favorite parts of the celebration, a perfect backdrop for making memories with loved ones.
