Hot air balloon rides in Massachusetts    

Massachusetts Hot air balloon trips

Hot air balloon rides are common in Massachusetts, and your family can revel in this unique way to rise above the earth when the weather is good. Even though many outdoor enthusiasts have never gotten near a ballon, those who have taken off in one remember this unique experience for life!

How do you become part of a chase crew? You can look up in the sky and follow the next balloon you see until it lands. Please allow the crew to pack the balloon away before you approach the basket. Then all you have to do is tell one of the crew that you are interested in ballooning. You will more than likely be directed to the pilot, who will either snatch you up for their own crew, then and there, or place you in contact with someone who can find you a home.

Hot air balloon rides can be enjoyed by anyone. Most excursions last near an hour, nevertheless check with your ride company to find out what they offer. Occasionally they have different flights to choose from.

Can we fly at a balloon festival?

Check with your local balloon company to see if you can get your balloon ride during a nearby festival. Flying at a festival is a unique experience, and is one that you don't want to miss if possible.

Each festival has their own rules, and many do not allow paid passenger rides for several reasons, including FAA restrictions or insurance concerns. Some festivals, however, not only allow passenger flights but encourage spectators to fly by selling balloon rides at the festival.

Preplanning is the key - you'll want to know well in advance if you can fly at the balloon festival you plan to attend.
