Wisconsin Hot air balloon rides

Balloon rides are very popular in Wisconsin, and smart shoppers can delight in this wonderful activity whenever the weather is favorable. Even though many people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this great experience for years!

A long time ago someone wrote a balloonists prayer, and we've used it in the post flight ceremonies ever since:

The winds have welcomed you with softness
The sun has held you in his warm hands
You have flown so high and so well
That God has joined you in your laughter
And set you gently back down
Into the loving arms of Mother Earth.

Balloon rides can be had by young and old alike. Most trips last more or less an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what they offer. They might have several trips to select from.

How long do balloon rides last?

Most balloon flights are in the air for 30 minutes to one hour, but you should plan on being out with the balloon team for three hours or more. First, the pilot must determine the launch site based on current wind direction. The chase crew will follow the balloon during the flight and will be there when the balloon lands. the balloon is packed up and passengers and crew are returned to the original meeting place.

Be sure to check with the company you are flying with to see how long your flight is expected to last.
