    How high will we fly?

    Balloons normally fly between 200 and 3000 feet, all within federal aviation regulations.

    What does it feel like?

    Once aloft you will notice no turbulence or wind movement as you become one with the air currents. The feeling is one of peace as you drift over treetops and float over the countryside in a gentle, panoramic harmony with nature.

    How fast will the hot air balloon go?

    The speed of the balloon is determined by the speed of the wind.

    Is this ride handicap accessible?

    Unfortunately, the balloon basket is not handicap accessible.
