Erie Baloon rides

Baloon rides are promoted in Erie, and you can delight in this wonderful avocation year around. Even though numbers of people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have taken flight in one remember this wonderful experience forever!

Baloon rides can be experienced by all ages. Most flights last almost an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what they offer. Occasionally they have several offerings to buy from.

How much do balloons cost?
About the same as a car or boat. The most popular sport size balloons cost from $18,000 to $25,000 or more. Support equipment (radios, fan, extra tanks, tools, repair kit, etc.) adds from $2,000 to $ 5,000 more. You can also buy used balloons.

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 Baloon rides in Erie, remember that your flight will be rescheduled if conditions are bad. Don't expect to fly if it is too cold or windy. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll take many more photos than you require.
