Tethered Balloon Rides

We are Indiana’s experts in tethered balloon rides. For tethers we utilize the Easy Access Basket (it has a door) so our passengers can get in and out of the basket much easier and faster than all other baskets.

For safety reasons, we only offer tethered rides approx two hours before sunset and at sunrise until up to 3 hours after.

Offering tethered balloon rides makes an exciting addition to any event. During a one to three hour time period, we are able to take between 50 to 200 people up for a short balloon ride depending on the weight of the riders.

COST

$500 to book your date, 100% refundable if cancelled for weather reasons 24 hours before the event.

Want to offer tethered balloon rides at your event at a low to zero cost? With the use of a sponsor we can show you how to make that happen and add revenue to your event by charging a per person rate paid by the passenger.

We are only able to offer tethered rides under certain conditions which include but are not limited to:

1. There must be no rain or storms within 75 miles of the event

2. The winds must be 8 mph or less

3. The tether may take place at sunrise (usually too early for most events)

4. The tether must take place approximately 2 hours before sunset
