The air is crisp and clear, all is quiet except for the occasional sound of the burner disturbing the perfect serenity that surrounds you. You float majestically somewhere between the trees and heaven watching life drift slowly past below. You take it all in, and think just how perfect this day has become and how awesome this experience is and wonder why you didn't do this sooner. Balloons Over the Rainbow provides hot air balloon rides in the St. Louis metro area year-round, but most flights take place April-October, due to St. Louis weather. Launches take place at sunrise about about 2.5 hours before sunset and the ride lasts about an hour (duration depends on weather, location and available landing sites.) Address listed is office only. Departure and landing locations will differ.
