An FAA-licensed pilot with more than 20 years of ballooning experience—and a perfect safety record—takes the helm of each flight, personally confirming each reservation and watching up-to-date weather reports to ensure safe flight conditions. Though the in-air portion lasts only an hour, most journeys take up to four hours in all, allowing passengers to witness such behind-the-scenes action as the pilot inflating the entire balloon with his lungs.

What makes your business stand out? We never charge for parents or guardians. We offer a very clean and safe environment for children to play. What inspired you to run this business? To have a place for parents to take their children where they can indulge in the lost art of pretend play.

They have no limitations to their imaginations and it is amazing to see what they do with that. Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover? Admission is good all day. Once you check in, you may leave and come back within the same day.
