It is the Greatest Show Off Earth, it is one of the most amazing experience to get to ride a hot air balloon I highly recommend it & Bernard is a well 30 year experienced pilot

Jonathan Eyestone

Be here by 5am! All lots have a shuttle system. Get on the field ASAP. Respect the Zebras. Be nice to the pilots & crew. NEVER walk in front of the guy holding the rope when the balloon is "going hot"

Kirsten

Go early so you can see the balloons light up in the dark. It's pretty awesome. Also, the park n ride system is very well done so do that if you don't want to sit in a massive traffic jam .

John Duarte

Gorgeous and amazing when the balloons go up. When they go up!!!!! Very hit or miss due 2 weather. And if you book a balloon ride and it gets cancelled while other balloons r going up, it infuriates u

Doreen

If you want to feel like a little kid again and be amazed at your surroundings, go the the Balloon Festival .

Karen Chin

Check out the local artists ! Amazing artwork. My favorite are the handmade pens and prickly pear juice

Go up in a balloon . Yeah you have to get up insanely early but it’s definitely worth it.

Scott Downing

This is one of the most amazing experiences! Bundle up, bring your camera , arrive early and get some hot chocolate and a breakfast burrito as you watch the balloons rise!

Tania C.

Dress in layers for temperature changes of 30 to 40 degrees F; and try having a nice conversation with the pilots before demanding balloon cards (manners count).

Jane Cho

Get to the park and ride early-by 5am. Dress warm for the morning event . It's very chilly.

Allison Kaminski

Amazing experience to watch all the balloons . Nothing else much to do there

Shelby

* Dress in Layers *Bring Sunblock *Come Early *WATCH YOUR CHILDREN!!!

Michael Paddock

No question watching the balloons is amazing. However the whole experience is a tremendous waste of money. You'd better pray certain events don't get cancelled after you've paid

D'Aun Robinson

Sign up to be part of a chase crew. No experience required and it's the best way to be a part of the action

Danielle C

Keep your eyes on the road & don't forget to look up-
