Hot air balloon trips of Ohio    

Ohio Balloon rides

Hot air balloon rides are big in Ohio, and busy people can delight in this wonderful avocation when the weather conditions are favorable. Regardless of the fact that many persons have never been around a air balloon, those who have taken off in one remember this unique treat for life!

A two- or three- person crew helps the pilot rig the equipment, holds open the envelope while it fills with cold air, and applies weight to the outside of the basket as needed before launch. Then they follow the balloon on the ground, and after the landing help the pilot pack everything up and bring it home again. Much of the crew workload consists of carrying heavy equipment from the truck to and from launch and landing spots.

Hot air balloon rides can be experienced by all ages. Most adventures last up to an hour, even so check with your ride company to find out what they offer. Several have several offerings to pick out from.

How can I find a balloon ride company if there isn't one listed near me?

You can check your local yellow pages for balloon rides, but it is possible that there are no flights available. Some areas are not conducive to safe balloon flight, so you may need to contact a company in a nearby city or state.

Flying in a balloon is a wonderful experience, and is definitely worth the effort even if you need to take an overnight trip to fly in a balloon. Talk to the balloon company about nearby hotels and other activities you can do while you are visiting their area.
