Was a great experience. Not as scary as it would seem. Easy take off and easy landing great photos and staff was amazing. Our pilot was Stan and he was awesome. Thanks for the flight. A little pricey but worth it if u have the money to spend.

It was the most amazing experience I've ever did.... I was the winner of two tickets from my favorite local radio station, 107.5Alive FM , it was so amazing and the field crew and the pilot were so helpful and caring. The flight was breath taking... and take off and landing was gentle and smooth. Thank you and I can only hope to have another great flight in my future!read more

Went to celebrate my birthday with them and the experience was AMAZING ! received a lot of help from Brenda who was always willing to answer all my questions. The day of my flight, the crew was great. Stan, our pilot was the man! After it was over,... we received souvenirs and some complimentary champagne to finish off the day! Only reason I didn't give them a 5 star was because of the distance. It took me almost 2 hours and a half to get there. Besides that, Great job!read more

On Oct 21, 2021, my wife and I took a balloon ride with our friends starting in Bird in Hand, Lancaster County. It was an experience we’ll never forget. The weather was perfect. Once airborne, we could see the beautiful patchwork farmland... representing the best of Lancaster County. Since the sky was clear, we could even make out the Philadelphia skyline. The landing was especially easier than I was expecting. I would definitely recommend a ballon ride and Lancaster County Hot Air Balloons. The pilot and ground crew were extremely efficient and friendly.read more

Lancaster Balloon Festival. 1st year with a new organizer. Always great seeing 30+ balloons take off at once. Stage/music great. Fireworks awesome. Traffic horrible. Food situation inadequate, needed more trucks for the crowd and needed to be... more spread out. Waited >30min for a sausage, which was delicious though!read more

We had a great time. We might've had to wait due to weather and mother nature's cooperation it was well worth it. Family had a wonderful time. Pilot and staff were informative. Journey still says you need snacks( inside joke).Watching the... preparations and assisting the landing was something we won't take for granted. This is a lot of work to get these up in the air.

My husband and I booked a flight for our 20th wedding anniversary. Conditions were too windy on the Friday evening we were supposed to go and the flight was cancelled but the team was able to accommodate us on Saturday morning which was great as we... had travelled 4 1/2 hours to get there. Our pilot was wonderful, giving fun facts as we flew. The experience of being in the hot air balloon was exhilarating! It felt like we were just gliding with the clouds. This is by far one of the most fun things I've ever done!read more

I went for Hot air balloon ride on July 18, 2020. I took my boyfriend Juan Carlos for his birthday as a surprise. I can tell you this was an extraordinary experience. The whole process as to inflate the balloon, getting on to the basket, getting... high up in the sky, looking at the views, getting close to the ground and coming back up, then landing. All of this was super exciting. I highly recommend this place and his crew, very professional , friendly and courteous. We ended the adventure with a champagne toast. Stan the captain was super cool, thanks for the memorable time we all had.read more

If you can make it to the balloon festival, I'd highly recommend it. If you can't make it to the balloon festival, I still highly recommend it.

My wifeand I just took a flight on Wednesday 10/3. We wanted to do something a little different and exciting. Well, we chose the right thing to do. It was phenomenal from start to finish, office help to pilot (Lucas) , to chase team. We couldn’t... have asked for a better experience . Though a little anxious before we took off, it went away as soon as we were airborne. Such a calming, relaxing, as well as exciting trip all in one. We have been the talk of our friends as soon as they heard and especially after seeing the pictures. I would highly recommend doing this to anyone. Beyond a doubt, one of the best things we have experienced. We will be backread more

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

The whole company went out of their way to make the flight awesome. The people in the office, to the chase Crew. to Jake the pilot, who's talent goes way beyond his young years. As a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne many years ago I've had a lot... of experience with good and bad landing. Pilot Jake did his job of commanding the chase Crew, and us in the basket to make a great landing. I would fly with Jake anytime.read more

As a warning up front: my wife and I purchased tickets for a ride, and due to weather, got postponed 4 times over the course of a year. When we did get our chance, it was a wonderfully amazing experience. Our pilot was exceptional and very... charismatic (grandson of the owner/founder of this branch of the company), and the experience was one that we will never forget. I drive through this beautiful farmland everyday, but from the sky (with basically only a wicker basket between you and 1000 feet to the ground), a whole new appreciation was gained.read more

What an incredible ride! Jake was a wonderful pilot, and we had a wonderful journey over Lancaster. My husband, 14 year old daughter and I were joined by four others - and we were so impressed by the professionalism, attention to detail and hard... work that went into every piece of the process, from set up to liftoff, from the glorious ride to the landing, from clean up to the toast at the end. A magical experience all around. We thoroughly recommend US Hot Air Balloon Team!read more

I loved my experience. This was a reward from my son for losing 100 pounds, He knew it was on my bucket list. So when I hit the 100 pound lost mark, he said, "ok, I will pay for the ride". Finally got the opportunity yesterday. It was fabulous... and the Pilot Craig Kennedy was helpful, fun and we had a great time. Would do it again.read more

We got there when it started, but unfortunately it was too windy to ride. We decided to go eat and cone back for the Glow. The wind had died down enough for rides, but we missed them. The Glow was cool, even though we thought they were going up in... the air. They did not. Probably because of the slight wind. It was cool to see them up close though. The food truck festival part was a little weak. Not a lot of trucks for the amount of people. The lines were atleast 50 deep. We will plan on going again next year and making sure we get a ride.read more

We landed in front of an amish farm and the kids all came out to help. Talking to them and seeing... their excitement topped the cake. Our pilot Jesse was the best. He has an awesome team with Jay and Mason. I could not have asked for a better day. Thank you Jesse Jay and Mason for such a great experience.read more

US Hot-air balloon came through in the clutch! We were rained out the previous week, but Brenda was sure to get us in at the Lancaster location the day before the flight. I planned on proposing to my gf but did not know how it was going to work out.... The front desk sign in person at the Lancaster location was extremely helpful with planning and coordinating with the pilot. The pilot Lucas took care of the rest and was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, funny and made the entire hot air balloon ride very comfortable and enjoyable! He took a great video and awesome pictures and couldn’t have asked for a better pilot! I highly recommend taking a hot air ballon with this group! I enjoyed every minute from the beginning to the champagne toast at the end! 5 out of 5 stars.

Thanks for everything!

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

Hot air ballooning is floating in the air. No sensation of movement, more like being at an Imax theatre without the sound. Beautiful landscapes going by while trying to figure out where you are if on the ground. Watching deer in fields or... possibly seeing the ocean from Lancaster County. Each trip is unique and there is always something new to experience. Love Ballooning.read more

When my mom and I were planning our trip to PA, we decided to cross off Hot Air Balloon Ride from the "bucket list". We couldn't have picked a better place /company to go with. Kyle was a fantastic pilot and guide, and his personality made you... feel right at home with him. His ground crew (Corey and Sharon) were fantastic as well. All three went the extra mile at the end of our ride, when my mom noticed her diamond had fallen out of her ring. They all stopped their post flight duties, and we're literally on their hands and knees searching in the grass and in the basket. They never gave up looking, and they ended up finding it stuck in the weave of the basket, and then worked together to get it out. Amazing group of people...we can't thank them enough for the experience and the extra effort they put in to making it a happy memory!read more

Last night in Palmyra, Pa, we had the pleasure to see a beautiful sight. Of one of your hot air balloons came floating above our neighborhood.

Realizing it was slowly starting to descend, we decided to follow it. We were able to watch the... beautiful sight of the balloon "touch down"! It was amazing!

As a croud gathered around, we watched in awe how the team on the ground went into action to bring the balloon down and wrap it up!

The best part of this experience was how appreciative the team was to the crowd.

The pilot, which I did not get his name, allowed the children to get inside the basket with him so the mom's could get pictures!

Thank you to the team for being so kind and friendly to us. It's an experience the kids snd grown-up's will always remember!

Regards,
Melissa Tishko

My non husband and I went on a hot air balloon ride this morning, 8/2/15. We got there at 5:30AM and helped set up. Our flight was AWESOME. We went as high as 6000 feet and as low as just above the trees. I really want to do this again. Kyle... suggested the same area but in the fall as the trees change. I am trying to get a group of people together to do that. That's just how much I would recommend doing this. Kyle and his crew were so nice and Kyle pointed things out as we flew near them.read more

We gifted a balloon ride for our daughter and father for a special birthday present and they enjoyed it. A downside: it was rescheduled twice due to weather conditions - but they can’t control that. Their morning flight was perfect with 12 persons... in the Gondola, plus pilot... Slightly tight quarters. A great experience for them!read more

Kinda' tentative because of cloudiness and chance of rain, but it turned out to be a great experience. Kyle is a great pilot and an extremely personable guy. My fellow fliers were interesting and a pleasure to meet. The thunderstorm that hit a few... minutes after we landed added a touch more excitement to an already thrilling trip. As a big guy, I could have liked a bigger gondola or fewer people. We were really packed in there. I would do it again in a heart beat.read more

We were thankful for the free parking this morning and my grandson kept saying how... awesome it was!! I do not know if we will be able to make it back for the rest of the event but what a wonderful start for the day and we look forward to coming back next year!!!read more

Our hot air balloon ride was incredible. We were delayed roughly an hour while the winds died down, which was for everyone's safety. Jesse was a great pilot and explained everything to us. The ground crew was great also.

We had an awesome experience with Neal (pilot), his wife (chase van driver), and their volunteer crew! US Hot Air Balloon Team took our initial reservation and connected us with Neal. Our trip was delayed a few times due to weather, but Neal and his... wife kept us informed and worked with us to reschedule each time. I spoke with Neal on the phone the evening before the flight and very early the morning of our flight (for the final go/no go decision). We arrived at the designated launch site at Peddler's Village at the same time that Neal and his team arrived. As they setup the balloon, Neal explained what they were doing, so the trip was also educational. We had a great flight. At the end of our flight, Neal sent me screenshots of our flight path and altitude from his tracking software. We rode back to Peddler's Village and had some light snacks and champagne, received our certificates, balloon pins, and the commemorative champagne glasses. I can't say that every team affiliated with US Hot Air Balloon Team will be as professional as Neal and his team, but if you're flying out of Bucks County, you'll be flying with Neal!read more

Are you in search of a safe, fun, and exciting hot air balloon company?! Search no further. I would highly recommend this company to everyone. My experience with The United States Hot Air Balloon Team was more than ordinary, it was extra-ordinary. A... big shout-out to Jake Frame and his team for making my proposal a story to remember. Although I was a chicken at first, I will never forget the thrill of floating so high above PA. That view was incredible and definitely one for the books. Thanks again, EmilyPs: Also known as Dana.read more

This was amazing experience. The Pilot and staff were so professional and I was most amazed at how they landed this balloon. My favorite part was ending the evening with champagne while the pilot toasted our glasses and recited The Balloonist's... Prayer. It was a beautiful end to a wondrous experience in the air.read more

This is one top notch company. We flew with them a little less than a year ago. I was surfing around online and realized I never left a review. I could not have asked for a better experience. Everything from the phone service to the pilots and their... crew was flawless. We wer canceled 2 times in the afternoon due to weather. The third time we scheduled for the morning and it was well worth the wait. My Mother in-law is disabled and she flew with no issues. The crew helped her in and out of the basket and the in-flight experience was an absolute delight. The best part about the entire experience was the smile on my mother in-law's face when we landed. Anyway, we are thinking of booking another flight this year. There is no doubt in my mind this is the company that you will want to fly with. They really went above and beyond the call of duty to assist me and my family. Thank You!read more

My daughter and I took a ballon ride as a birthday present for myself last year. I never did it before—just wanted to try it. This was right after everything eased up after Covid restrictions. I had originally wanted to do the ride over the... Battlefield, but that was canceled because of Covid. But that was handled fine and just rescheduled to the alternate location. We had a great time! It wasn’t scary at all and it was completely professional and I never felt unsafe for me or my teenage daughter at all. I’d totally do it again and I highly recommend!! The only thing I’d say is that it does get hot a bit up under where they fire up the ballon, so if you think it’s going to be cold up in the atmosphere (I did!) you will overheat, so wear layers so you can take off your jacket or whatever if you get hot, so you don’t over heat. If it’s hot on the ground, it will still be hot up there too:)read more

So happy with our experience here. We booked a flight 2 weeks in advance and they were able to get us in on our anniversary. Our pilot was very knowledgeable about the area, wind currents, and landing zones. It was the perfect anniversary... experience. We were able to help set up and tear down the balloon, guided by our pilot, Kirby. He was a very good teacher and that added to the excellent experience. We will certainly be back!read more

EPIC Experience! A must do for your bucket list! The entire team was AmAzInG! I felt completely safe with our pilot Freedom Ship of 40 years! Felt as though we were motionless thousands of feet above land! Our Freedom Chasers were on the ball once... we landed and tracked us. The team allowed us to even help with the loading of the balloon process! We did a shared ride. We left as strangers and landed as friends who shared in a experience to last a lifetime! Thanks team! GAH! Get booked! You won't regret it!!!read more
