Oklahoma City Balloon rides

Balloon rides are celebrated in Oklahoma City, and you could revel in this exciting sport when the weather is good. While several people have never even been up close to a balloon, those who have taken flight in one remember this marvelous experience for years to come!

Balloon rides can be experienced by young and old alike. Most excursions last just about an hour, but check with your pilot to find out what's available. Several have different trips to select from.

What if you have to go to the bathroom?
Pre-planning is the key! Since flights average about an hour or so, pre-planning pays off in this regard. There are no bathrooms aboard the balloon.

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 Balloon rides in Oklahoma City, keep in mind that your ride might be rescheduled if conditions are not appropriate. Don't expect to fly if it is raining or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and plenty of film, because you'll take many more snap shots than you expect.
