For our first balloon ride, we really wanted to go up with a bunch of balloons during the festival, but our flight was canceled last year and this year, due to weather, which a lot of people seemed pretty angry about, but I would definitely rather err on the side of caution with this one! If we couldn’t go up during the festival, our second choice was Hershey, but they couldn’t really find any availability for that last year, so we were going to reluctantly do Lancaster, but that was canceled because of weather as well. We were able to book a Hershey ride this year, after the festival launch was canceled, but they canceled that the day of because there weren’t enough people on the ride, so they pushed us to do Lancaster again, so we took it just to finally actually get to do the flight. The ride itself was quite an experience and the pilot was awesome both in flying ability and entertainment, so I absolutely recommend putting this on your bucket list, but it does require a lot of flexibility because the weather has to be pretty perfect. It can also be pretty crammed in the basket if the flight is full, but it wasn’t too horrible. Everyone was still able to see and get pictures and such.read more

What an amazing experience! Worth every penny! The crew was very professional and kind. Even let the Amish kids who were watching us land help put the balloon away. Will definitely do this again!

I would love to win the ride on the hot air balloon ... I could then give the pilots a high score for the ride of a life time ! The United States Hot Air balloonists must be a highly qualified team... The date noted to win the ride is actually one day before our 30 th anniversary... What a terrific & awesome way to help us celebrate!!! Please pick us !!read more

My son and I flew 6AM on 8-22-17 (my contact info was bat1962). Our pilot Lucas was extremely skilled in handling the balloon, no small feat with such a combersome thing. The ground crew was also very good and worked quickly. They took pictures for us and made the whole event very enjoyable. It's a shame I can't give them more than 5 stars. I would definitely fly with you again and look forward to it.read more

My family and I had an amazing experience! I would do this again anyday. I am afraid of heights but did not feel one but scared in the air. Ask for Jake as your tour guide. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. The guys who help set up, follow us in the van, and pack up were equally great. We went for a sunrise ride and it was gorgeous!read more

We got married in a balloon with this company, and can not say enough about how amazing the experience was!! Our pilot was Lucas, and he was not only an expert with his balloon, he was an extremely cordial and pleasant guide. He helped to put us all at ease while maneuvering our flight, and was impressively knowledgeable about the area and of safety concerns. My new wife and I will always remember our amazing sunrise ceremony; it was more beautiful than we imagined. Both my wife and I were/are in AWE of our experience! The ground crew was cheerful even though they had a tough time keeping up with us sometimes, and took some outstanding pictures of us to boot. The champagne toast afterward was a really nice touch as well. Worth every penny and will definitely go again!read more

We being first timers, it was an awesome experience. The pilot was good and instructions were clear with no hint of being scared about anything. We landed in a field and the experience of take off and landing was seamless. I think we went up to about 1200 ft. The team is very good. I would highly recommend this ride. read more
