Ballon rides around Columbus    

Columbus Ballon rides

Ballon rides are the rage in Columbus, and you may enjoy this unique interest year around. While several people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have taken off in one remember this tremendous experience for a long time!

Ballon rides can be had by all ages. Most adventures last approximately an hour, but check with the tour company to find out what they offer. Occasionally they have different trips to buy from.

Are all hot air balloons alike?
All hot air balloons consist of a burner system, a basket and an envelope. The differences are in the shape and size of the envelope, the deflation system, the basket shape and design and the configuration, design, and number of burners.

How do you steer a balloon?

Balloons simply float with the wind. The pilot can control the balloon's altitude to find a wind going in the desired direction, but you cannot fly upwind or crosswind.

Preflight planning insures the pilot knows which way the balloon will be traveling, and the pilot makes sure there are plenty of suitable landing sites downwind. You'll be amazed how the pilot is able to steer the balloon during your balloon ride!

As you look for Ballon rides in Columbus, keep in mind that your flight might be rescheduled if conditions are unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is too hot or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and plenty of film, because you'll take many more photos than you require.
