A family with two children smiling and pointing over the edge of a balloon basket above the red rocks.

Children love balloons: the roar of the burner, the silence after, the treetops close enough to touch. Our family flight is shorter and lower, in a basket of your own.

Every child gets to help the pilot with the burner and goes home with a junior pilot certificate.

Right for you if

  • You’re flying with children aged six to twelve
  • You want a gentle first flight
  • You’d like a basket to yourselves

What’s included

  • A private basket for your family

Your morning

  • About an hour in the air
  • Champagne toast and certificate
  • Back at your hotel by about 9 am

Questions

Is it safe for children?

Yes. Children must be six and tall enough to see over the basket edge, about 4 feet.
