Wisconsin Balloon rides

Balloon rides are promoted in Wisconsin, and smart shoppers can revel in this exciting pursuit while the weather is good. Even though many people have never seen a hot air balloon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this terrific treat for years!

Most balloons have a crew of between 3 to 6 people. Most balloon crews are volunteer, and do not get paid. For most of us, it is a hobby. It's how we work off the stresses of the week, and get together to have a good time with an ever-changing hobby.

Balloon rides can be had by everyone. Most excursions last more or less an hour, notwithstanding check with your pilot to find out what they offer. They might have different flights to choose from.

How do you steer a balloon?

Balloons simply float with the wind. The pilot can control the balloon's altitude to find a wind going in the desired direction, but you cannot fly upwind or crosswind.

Preflight planning insures the pilot knows which way the balloon will be traveling, and the pilot makes sure there are plenty of suitable landing sites downwind. You'll be amazed how the pilot is able to steer the balloon during your balloon ride!
