Gary Air balloon rides

Air balloon rides are very big in Gary, and you may delight in this wonderful activity throughout the year. Even though many people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have taken flight in one remember this terrific experience for years!

Air balloon rides can be experienced by all ages. Most flights last about an hour, but check with the pilot to find out what is available. Many have several packages to select from.

What are envelopes made of?
Rip-stop nylon is the most common material. Polyester and other fabrics are sometimes used. The lower portions around the opening are usually made from a fire resistant material like Nomex, similar to what race car drivers and firemen wear.

What is it like flying in a balloon?

You'll be amazed the first time you go for a balloon ride! The feeling is unlike anything else. It is very calm and serene, and not frightening at all. The view is spectacular, and depending on the location of your balloon flight, you're likely to see local wildlife as never before. It is very quiet except for the occasional WHOOOSH of the burner, and you can talk to people on the ground!

The 360 degree view is spectacular as you drift silently above the world. You may brush gently through the treetops or soar thousands of feet above the earth; either way you'll be thrilled at the peace and serenity of your adventure.

As you search for Air balloon rides in Gary, keep in mind that your charter can be rescheduled if weather conditions are unflyable. Don't expect to fly if it is poor visiblilty or unstable. Bring your camera and lots of film, since you'll take many more photographs than you expect.
