Come fly with us!
Typically , a flight last 45 minutes to an hour depending on weather conditions and available landing sights. The entire balloon experience will last approximately 3 hours which includes inflation, flight, packing up and toast. Passengers are welcome to participate in set up and pack up or simply just watch and enjoy the experience. Balloon rides launch at sunrise and approximately 2 hours before sunset. During the warmer months, flights are offered only in the morning because of the afternoon heat. We offer balloon rides 7 days a week during summer months and school holidays. When school is in session we offer flights Friday evenings, Saturday and Sunday. The flight starts just above the trees and can go as high as 1000-2000 feet above the ground. Once at altitude, you can see Winston Salem, Charlotte, and Pilot Mountain weather permitting. If you would like to have a large group to fly, contact us so we can get several balloons together!

What to wear
We recommend that you dress as you are going on a hike. Cotton clothes and closed toed shoes are recommended. Keep in mind that the grass is usually wet during morning flights as we often land in fields which may have tall grass or weeds. There will not be a significant temperature difference during flight because the altitude balloon operations occur are not very high.
