We offer rides in our balloons year-round (weather dependent), but our primary season with a more routine schedule is April through November. Sunrise and sunset flights occur daily from launch points in southeastern Pennsylvania. 3-day and 5-day PA Adventure Tours are coordinated to fit your schedule.

What makes our hot air balloon flights so memorable is that they are much more than just the ride itself. If you so wish, you are encouraged to take part in the inflation of the balloon. Learn ballooning insight from the experts themselves from flight launch to landing. We also provide a champagne toast and refreshments. Transportation back to the launch site is included. Don’t forget to bring your camera so we can catch your memories on film!

The entire experience is 2 1/2 – 3 hours from start to finish, including hands-on launch, an hour-long flight, refreshments and transport.

A typical flight will include 4-10 people. However, if you are interested in a private, romantic flight, we offer couples-only flights as well.

Dress to be comfortable as you would if you were on the ground depending upon the day’s weather conditions. Because a hot air balloon travels at the same speed as the air around it, wind chill factors are eliminated, so if anything, it is typically a bit warmer in the balloons. Do not overdress, particularly in the summer.

Riders of our balloons must be of age 6 and up. There are no height requirements.

Sorry, we cannot fly anyone who is pregnant. Please call us after the baby is born, or give us a call if you would like additional information.

We recommend you call a week to 10 days in advance; however, never hesitate to call with less notice because there is a good chance there may be space available on your desired flight. Keep in mind as you make plans that the most heavily-booked time of year is mid-September through mid-November, and the most popular flight time is Saturday’s Sunset Flights.

We don’t fly in stormy weather or rain, and you will be made aware of any cancellations when you call in to confirm your flight beforehand. If a cancellation does occur, you will have three options:

• Reschedule your balloon flight.
• Request a refund — See terms & conditions

• Use your ticket toward a balloon ride anywhere in the U.S. with any of our affiliates.

9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and in May through November, during the weekends as well. We’re very available and approachable.

No. Once the balloon leaves the ground, it is moving at the same speed as the environment. There is no feeling of motion. The sensation of ballooning, is the absence of sensation.
