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
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"
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 .
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
If you want to feel like a little kid again and be amazed at your surroundings, go the the Balloon Festival .
If you bring your own water bottle, there is a bottle refill station by the gate 12 porta potties area
Don't come on Opening Day....It's a Freakin Mad House!!!! Other than that...I've never seen anything like this ~ or this Many People????
The 2014 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta will be on Oct 4-12, 2014! Don't forget to leave a tip for other #BalloonFiesta fans.
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.
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!
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).
Get to the park and ride early-by 5am. Dress warm for the morning event . It's very chilly.
Amazing experience to watch all the balloons . Nothing else much to do there
* Dress in Layers *Bring Sunblock *Come Early *WATCH YOUR CHILDREN!!!
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
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
Keep your eyes on the road & don't forget to look up-
UV 5-K FUN FOR ALL!
Stop by the CHASE LOUNGE hosted by the Barley Room Bar and Grill! FULL BAR , great food & coffee !
