A balloon ride is a breathtaking adventure, and the memories will last a lifetime. The sensation, views and freedom will never be forgotten. In Missouri, we fly year-round, weather permitting. Flights are scheduled in the morning shortly after sunrise and in the afternoon prior to sunset. Rides last 45 minutes to 1 hour, with the entire adventure lasting about 3 hours. The balloons will fly as low as treetop level to as high as 2,000-3,000 feet above the ground. The balloon travels with the direction of the wind, therefore each flight launch site and landing area is different. We can come to your city, most flights depart from Columbia.
